Mojo of the G

Thanks for the info. So much to discover. FYI. Turned on the accompaniment feature along with each of the missing rhythms. Still no sound.

Peplum you are absolutely correct in every aspect. This is one of the major issues with this keyboard. I also have discovered on my 3000 that under rhythm sub category Ballad that there are 11 missing rhythms. By that I mean they show on the display but there is no sound. Of course I've checked everything else like volume settings but there is no sound. The best feature I like about this keyboard is the feel and weight of the keys. However upon reflection I would not buy another one nor would I recommend this model. Casio has a lot of work to do with the 3000.

The line out is working but that was never the problem. The problem is why did Casio design it so that the internal speakers still sound while the line out jacks are connected to an external audio system. PA system for example. The fact you have to plug in headphone or a dummy plug to the headphone jack for external use seems wrong. Oh well, such is life.

I'm not getting any sound output from Rhythm [Ballad] numbers 29 through 38. Number 29 is Piano R&R andnumber 38 is Waltz 5. Anybody else having this issue?

The line outs should be working when the headphone inputs have nothing plugged in.

Hi Igor0, Regarding the noise from the keys, that is something you can adjust. It is one of the features of the 3000 piano. In the full manual refer to Pg EN-25 and 26, Adjusting Acoustic Piano Sound Characteristics (Acoustic Simulator). There are 5 settings: String Resonance, Damper Resonance, Damper Noise, Key On Action Noise, and Key Off Action Noise. See if you can change either of the last two settings. As far as how you want to manage the sound output that is your choice. Your responses tell me that the piano is operating fine in that regard. Adjusting the piano's volume knob for external output is another user choice. Just remember inserting a dummy plug or headphones is a way to mute the internal speakers and nothing more. If you need the internal speakers on then plug nothing into the headphone inputs.

Hi Igor0, With my situation of this nature I found that the internal speakers are not muted when connecting the line outs. The volume knob must be turned near all the way up to get a suitable signal into your rig/mixer. This also means that the internal speakers are blasting away at full volume. I can't hear the monitored mix. Not good Casio. Besides the internal speakers are not very good. So what I have to do is use the one of the headphone outs connected to my rig/mixer. This mutes the internal speakers as intended. The headphone outs send a very good signal and produce a full bodied tone ( I use the mellow piano tone setting). The internal speakers produce a very tinny sound. So I went into the DSP settings and found the Stereo3BndEQ selection. Read the section on Using a DSP in the full user's manual on pg EN-23 and 24. Also see pg EN-77. The EN refers to English version. Here is the link to download: https://support.casio.com/en/manual/manualfile.php?cid=008021002 Now for your situation. If when you plugged in headphones into one of the headphone jacks then the internal speakers should be muted. If not then something is wrong with the circuitry which means your piano is defective. Unplugging the headphone will unmute the internal speakers as they should. You can also use a dummy plug in the headphone out which will mute the internal speakers then connect the line outs into your rig/mixer. I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

Ok, I'm back. Received my new mixer today. I am red-faced! Installed the mixer into my rack rig and voila, I get sound output from the 3000's line outputs. Very good sound too. Of course depending on what gear you have in your rig you must adjust all your sound levels. I put the 3000's volume control at 3/4 up, that worked fine. HOWEVER........to mute the internal speakers you still must use a dummy plug into one of the headphone inputs. I guess I can live with that, HOWEVER...........nah. Here is the link to Mike Martin's webinar on the 3000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goPJwd6zM5o Excellent info, highly recommended. Anyway, Thanks to everyone for responding and I look forward to sharing and reading our experiences with the PX-S3000.

I did some further testing. Excluded my mixer from the line signal. There is audio output from the 3000 (adjust your levels of course) however internal speakers still sound. Plug in a dummy stereo audio plug into the headphone input and the internal speakers are muted and only the ext speakers are heard. I'm waiting for my new 16 channel mixer to arrive to test and yes I can set each channel to -10dbv. Two things: 1) it seems silly and unnecessary that it's required to use a dummy stereo jack to mute the int speakers. Casio needs to add mute circuitry to the line outs circuits and when they do we first owners like us should be able to exchange our pianos for the updated engineering change (ECO) order meaning a free swap. 2) If my new professional level mixer is not compatible with my 3000 then its just a amp hog. If you have another digital piano you'll have buy another rig. I would like to know if Casio tested this piano with several different brands of mixers and/or rigs.

Of course not.

Then why does Casio not address this topic/situation in the long form user manual? There is a sub-manual that has a very short section about connecting to external amplification but is of little help. If the line outs are supposed to work then what are the particular equipment it will work with? It will only work with certain stated mixers, amp, etc.?

I just received my new PX-S3000. I have the same problem, no audio output from the line outputs. Also, have the same problem with my CTK-6250 piano. However, If you connect directly to an amplifier then you get sound output but a very low volume with the 3000. Also, will not work with mixers as in my stage rack setup. I tried several audio solutions as mentioned here but all fail. I have other digital pianos, all work in my rack setup. I have concluded that Casio did not design the 3000 as a professional gigging instrument. You should not have to resort to workarounds. I am returning mine to the online retailer I bought it from.
