Update Note: Do not try this if you think it may break. Some users reported breaking the key trying this. I tried looking for the post but couldn't find it, where someone was able to hold down the rear portion of the key firmly while doing something with the front part. I'm not sure exactly how it went, but they did reset the key without disassembly.

Hi Steve. Welcome to the forums. Unfortunately SP-34 is not compatible with the PX-560. The connection is different. SP-34 is designed for the PX-S and CDP-S model series digital pianos. SP-33 is the correct model for the PX-560 and does offer half damper operation.

I would contact the store you purchased it from and explain what is happening. They may offer assistance since your purchase was about 2 weeks ago.

Are you using batteries or the power adapter? Does it change if you switch to a different power source? Fresh batteries?

You could detune upper 2 and save it as a registration.

Looks great! I like the style, white table, clean layout, camera views, looks like a TV ad for it. Nice editing. Carry on sir. 😁

You should be able to put a piano tone in upper 1, then go to mixer port A and turn off parts 11, 12, 13, and 14. Press the red part number buttons to turn them off. You should then be left with the piano sound in upper 1 and no other sounds while also showing chords on the main screen with accompaniment ON and full range chord selected.

You'll need an external device to record with the LK-S250.

The operating system on the WK-1630 is not designed to function with a floppy drive, even if the hardware is there.

I would contact a repair shop near you and ask them if they can perform warranty work for Casio. You may get lucky.

You have to select a preset tone or existing user tone to edit. Follow the manual on editing a preset solo synth tone. Go to the oscillator blocks to choose your waveforms. Blocks 1 and 2 are synth waves, 3 and 4 are PCM waves.

Yes, that will work fine. The original question in this topic is referring to use without a computer. USB on the keyboard is designed to work perfectly with a computer. You'll be fine.

I don't know of any specific tutorials on it, but I'm sure YouTube will have some. Once you have everything recorded in Cakewalk, it's easy to adjust track clips so they're in time with one another, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.

Looks like a first generation Privia.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking to transpose the keyboard?

PX-5S does not have an expression pedal jack. The two pedal jacks are for standard switch type pedals. A standard switch pedal can be used to trigger a programmed expression envelope.

Any virtual instrument VST sound is generated by your computer. You'll need to combine that audio with your CTX audio. You can do that any number of ways, but I would simply use Cakewalk to record everything as audio tracks.

Your sequencer drum track in Cakewalk will need to output to the virtual instrument , not the CTX.

Can you clarify what you are doing? Are you editing a MIDI file? Or playing your keyboard live?

You can use DAW software with a sampling virtual instrument. I've used one included with Cakewalk called DropZone. It takes a little to learn programming it, but it works well.

I would break them up into a series. YouTube viewers seem to prefer videos that are short and sweet.

Examination mode, which is designed for use in schools for teaching music. I don't know any details, but there is a section in the manual that describes what examination mode changes.

It's probably the audio driver. Try using an ASIO driver. Asio4All is free and usually cures the issue.

The basics are this. Upon playback of your recording, each track (each channel) in your recording will need to send bank and program change commands to the CTX in order to hear the desired tones. That is done from the DAW software itself. I don't know the details on the software you're using, but it should offer the ability to do that in some fashion. You'll probably want to research Auria instructions for that. If it allows you to manually enter that information, the CTX appendix has a chart of tones that lists the bank and program change data needed. Casio provides a few patch scripts for several popular DAWs that makes the process a little easier, unfortunately Auria is not one of them. Now, I can offer a suggestion that may or may not work. This could be easier than the manual method. The CTX will send bank and program change information to your DAW through channel 1 whenever you select a tone for U1. Rather than selecting a tone for U1 before you start recording, start your recording, then select the tone. The software may record the bank and program information sent by the CTX. Repeat that for each track in your recording. Playback should send all of that back to the CTX and select the desired tones for each part.

RFeria hasn't visited the forums since posting the question.
