loveplaying Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I recently got a new Casio keyboard. The manual says "CTK-4400, WK-240, WK-245". Not sure exactly which one mine is. This is replacing another keyboard that I had to get rid of because of damage in a move. I hadn't played in six months because it took that long to get another keyboard. So I got the new keyboard recently, and I figured I could just plug in my existing foot pedal and it would work with my new keyboard, but it does not. Can you help? Is something wrong with my new keyboard? Using the sustaining foot pedal is super important to me. Thanks so much for your help! loveplaying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Check your pedal with an ohmmeter. It should read zero ohms when depressed. It should read infinity when it's not pressed. Any other reading and it's either the wrong type of pedal or else it's defective. BTW, Yamaha pedals will NOT work with Casio Keyboards and vice versa.

Thanks so much for your help! loveplaying Hi and welcome to the Casio forums!What is the brand and model of the pedal you are using? Not all will work with Casios. Also, does it sustain all the time and then not sustain when you press the pedal or does it do nothing at all?Couple of things to try:1- Unplug the pedal2- Turn off the Casio3- Plug pedal on4- Turn Casio on - DO NOT TOUCH PEDAL UNTIL IT IS FULLY BOOTED5- Try it. If you need a new pedal, I can confirm the M-Audio SP-2 will work with Casio keyboards. It is $20 and it is a piano style pedal so it feels really nice. Please let us know how it works out!

- T - Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Follow Scott's procedure above to determine why your foot pedal is not working. BUT . . . it is also a good idea to know which model your keyboard is, so that you know whether or not certain items in the manual apply to your specific model. If your keyboard has 61 keys, then it is a "CTK", but if it has 76 keys, then it is one of the "WK" models. Also, look toward the upper (right) end of the keyboard. The model number should be stenciled in large characters on the case just above the keys. Good luck with getting your pedal to work !

Vorbis Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 What do you want the pedal to do? Sounds like the pedal is set to sustain the notes till released and that's what the keyboard is doing. CTK900 WK7500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
