To be clear, are you using two different computers? Is one working with the keyboard, while the other is not?

Has your USB cable been tested with another device?

That indicates it is installed and should be working as a MIDI device.

With a functional USB cable, it should be recognized as a Casio USB MIDI device.

PX-560's are covered by a 3 year warranty. You may be covered to have this repaired.

What do you mean by 17 audio tracks? To be clear, the MIDI recorder can't record audio.

Andrew said "panorama".

Do you have accompaniment turned on and have you triggered a chord with the left hand in the chord section?

Hi Dave. Did this start happening recently?

Hi Pete. Congrats on your MZ-X500! I have every manual linked to official downloads from Casio in this post here. The firmware update manuals are there as well.

Hex layer tones are the best. They allow some major flexibility and creativity in sound designing. I hope to see more high end Casio products include hex layer tones in the future.

If you happen to have a multimeter, you can set it to resistance mode and test the pedal. If it tests as functional, you'll know to look at your keyboard for issues. Otherwise, you'll need to do as T said and purchase another pedal, preferably a Casio SP-3 or SP-20.

Yes

It will be the same as the answers I provided on this post on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Casio.Digital.Pianos/permalink/2791568307610417/?sfnsn=mo

Try blowing between the keys. It may be some dirt in there.

First I'd like to welcome you to the forums! Welcome! Unfortunately Jokeyman is correct. The feature in question is called event editing. It is not a feature of the PX-560 digital piano, but is included on the 61 key MZ-X500 music arranger. The MZ-X500 is tailored around a workstation oriented experience, so leaves out some piano oriented features that the PX-560 includes. The PX-560 is tailored for a piano oriented experience, so it leaves out some of the workstation features that the MZ-X500 includes. This keeps prices at a competitive level on each product. An 88-key hammer action version of the MZ-X500 would be awesome. Unfortunately the market won't support a product like that at this time. I have seen some consumer interest in it on the various forums, so maybe one day it will happen, if enough people support the expansion of Casio's lineup.

Awesome! The PX-5S has the ability to send on up to 4 channels at once, any combination of channels you want, any key ranges, any combination of internal sounds and external, any combination of MIDI out and USB out, and can save all of these things as stage settings. You can turn channels on and off with the sliders, adjust their volumes, filter cutoff, etc. I'm sure you will come up with even more uses for the extensive MIDI controller abilities of the PX-5S.

You want MIDI out set to key in this case. Double check your MIDI cable is connected to MIDI out on the PX-5S, and MIDI in on your external synth. Default stage setting 0-0 Concert grand will send data on channel 1.

Another way is to spray a little glass cleaner on a cloth. If you're using a soapy solution, squeeze most of the water out of the cloth, it won't drip.

I use a microfiber cloth dampened with a mild solution of dish detergent and water.

It's not possible to download PX-5S samples, or samples from most any other hardware instrument. They can only be recorded as audio from the instrument itself. I'm not sure I understand the advantages of sampling the PX-5S, whenever it has MIDI and can be controlled by the software sequencer on your computer just as easily as it could be as a VST instrument.

Modulation wheel function (knobs and pedals as well) is not determined by the tone in use. It is determined by the registration (performance setup) in use. As long as the same registration is in use, the controls will not change. 96 registrations are available to store your favorite configurations. An organ registration with the modulation wheel setup to control rotary DSP would be a great template for use with rotary DSP organ tones.

I prefer a flat EQ when recording, then I can EQ it however I want in software. For live, it certainly depends on the situation. I don't have a particular go-to EQ setting for live.

I would record everything by sequencer in Logic, that way you can quantize, edit notes, playback the sequence, then record the audio output of the PX-5S, once everything about your sequence is complete.
