theforeverwar Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Sometimes, when I turn on my Privia PX-5s, I will be playing around while it loads up, and when it finally does, the sustain pedal, instead of "sustaining", actually dampens, and without pressing any pedals, the keys are all automatically sustained? Is there any reason for this, could this be a short, or an issue with my keyboard. Usually if I turn it off and back on again it resets to normal with the keys working fine, and pressing the sustain pedal elongating the notes. Also, I have two pedals plugged in, one for the sustain and the other for the damper, not sure if this helps. Thanks you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Are you pressing the pedal while the PX-5S boots up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 This sort of thing happened to me once (i.e., reversed the function of the sustain pedal). I figured I might have inadvertently pressed the pedal while booting up, so I unplugged the pedal, connected it again and rebooted. It's never happened since.

Gnusmas Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Are you using the included SP-3 or a pedal designed for YAMAHA? Their pedals have opposite polarities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Mike Martin Posted July 23, 2015 Solution Share Posted July 23, 2015 The PX-5S can use Yamaha pedal or other non-Casio brand. Just keep your foot off the pedal when you turn it on, the PX-5S will detect the polarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
