How (step by step) to set up on/off for rotary with a momentary switch


Recommended Posts

I have a Privia with rotary in some of the organs. I have both an original sustain pedal or a momentary on/off switch type pedal.

 

Can someone walk me thru (step by step) how to set up a pedal to turn rotary on and off? where does it plug in and what, if anything I need to do to so I can simply step on the pedal to activate and deactivate rotary. 

 

I seem to be too limited in my understanding and I know someone knows how.

 

I use the keys, stereo, thru a volume pedal from time to time (not always), use a casio sustain pedal for sustain and play thru either a KC-550 or KC-350 depending. 

 

HELP! Anyone who plays knows how inconvenient it is to turn rotary on/off on the panel above the keys.

Hello and welcome to the forums.  

 

Some general housekeeping first.  You have posted this question in the XW series forum.  Next time you will want to post in the category for your keyboard model....  Privia  PX-"xxx".    This helps us tremendously.  

 

Next.  We need to know the exact model "Privia" you have since there are many.    

 

If it's the PX-5s, several organ stage setting are already configured the way you want.  Pedal 1 will switch rotary speed.

Hi........and my apologies as I'm a newbie.

 

So here is my model PX-3 Limited Edition

 

I would think I can adjust any of the sounds individually to accept the signal from a pedal? Is that correct? And, that it doesn't effect anything else in the keyboard? If so, I could do as many as I like but I don't know how. I don't know what kind of pedal to use and where to plug it in since I have a sustain in the "damper" and a volume pedal from the stereo outs. 

 

I do apologize again and will endeavor to know where I am from now on :) 

 

I greatly appreciate your help btw! Thank you very much!

The PX-3 pedal jacks will function as sustain, soft or sostenuto.   Pedals plugged into those jacks cannot be used beyond that scope.   

 

Most of the information found on this forum relating to this subject is about the PX-5s.  That model brings a substantial increase in the ability to customize pedal functions and other controls.

 

On the PX-3, the assignable buttons are the only option I see.  I don't own that model, so I might be missing something.

So, I'm understanding that this may not be possible and that I may have to simply use the buttons on the panel to activate rotary eh?

 

I'm using damper for sustain and the soft/sostento plug in for nothing.

 

It works just fine this way but would be substantially more user friendly with a pedal but this is not that huge of a deal. 

 

Maybe someone else has a thought, but I appreciate your input and will apply any suggestions that make sense should you think of something I can use. 

 

I'm using sustain obviously for sustain and my volume pedal for swells and was hoping to be able to use another appendage to do rotary :) guess not.
