What is your budget? All of the current Privia models have high resolution velocity.

Sounds interesting. Perhaps the MIDI Implementation manual can be useful. It is quite detailed. https://www.casio.com/intl/support/electronic-musical-instruments/manual/?model=LK-S250

The file on your flash drive will be named "New01" plus the file extension.

It's not possible to store MIDI files on the keyboard. Your files are stored on the flash drive only. They play directly from the flash drive.

More detailed information in this article from Music Merchandise Review, a great article. https://mmrmagazine.com/site/gear/keyboards/casio-updates-celviano-ap-digital-pianos-with-gorgeous-new-style-rosewood-finish-and-inspiring-hamburg-grand-tone/

First step is to confirm you have successfully recorded a song with the MIDI recorder. Do this by playing back your recording without a USB flash drive attached to your keyboard. If you hear your song playback this way, you are ready for the next step. This confirms your MIDI recording is stored in keyboard memory and ready to be saved to a USB flash drive. Can you post a video of where you have issues? It would be much easier for us to see exactly where you are missing a step.

Actually it's past 10 years now, but they still have new ones in stock. It's not over yet and it's still a great keyboard. Keep the faith.

You can name the file during the process of saving it to USB flash drive, after pressing save in the media menu and selecting the type of data and corresponding recording.

CDP-S90 and CDP-S100 are the same keyboard with different model numbers for retail purposes. Double check that you have downloaded the proper manual. CDP-S100 and CDP-100 are two entirely different keyboards, without the "S" is much older. I know, it's confusing.

Here's more news from the press release. https://www.casio.com/intl/news/2024/0125-ap-750/

I think the piano tones sound really good. It features an all new Hamburg grand piano tone, which I feel like is huge news moving forward. We might see a version of this tone trickle down into other models in the future.

The battery is soldered to the main board, buried deep inside the keyboard. If I recall correctly, it's a CR2032 tabbed lithium coin cell battery. You can find them online easily. That battery only has an impact on stored user data like tones and rhythms. It shouldn't have any impact on power up. Your power button may need cleaning or repairs. Keep in mind it's a timed power off button, meaning it requires holding down for about a second to turn it off. That's normal as it's designed to prevent accidental powering off from hitting the button briefly. The power button is recessed for the same reason.

Have you tried using the wireless MIDI connection or is this entirely wired? I'm not aware of anyone else who has run into this issue.

A very low level of white noise normally not heard without carefully listening close to the speakers is completely normal.

You might try sources from Casio's website regarding their parts and support network in Europe. https://www.casio-europe.com/euro/support/product-repair/musical-instruments/#tab

This is entirely with an iPad? Or have your tried with a different device as well, like a PC or Mac?

CTK-6250 does not have sample expansion memory. TN7 files do not contain samples.

Rock organ preset tones will be a good one to try.

Generally, Casio keyboard user manuals will tell you if specific Casio software is available for that model. If there is no mention of software, there is none available. If there is mention of software, the manual should mention the name of the software, or some clue like "wk3-20en.exe".

Thank you for the video. That was very useful. You used the knob to change system track to solo track. Do not do that. Solo track is only capable of recording one tone per track. Leave it on the system track. System track is for recording auto accompaniment.

Perhaps I missed it, but have you tried running the piano with local control turned on? Does your issue only occur with local off? It might help add one more clue to the mystery.

This list is not comprehensive, but it will give an overall impression of the differences. It is a comparison of specs listed in the user manuals and web pages for each one. PX-S6000 removes the following features found on the PX-S5000: Music Library Songs, 60 Preset, 10 User PX-S6000 adds the following: Premium Case Design Compatible with CS-90 Wooden Stand 350 Preset Tones (PX-S5000 - 22 tones total) 256 Note Polyphony (PX-S5000 - 196 Note) Piano Position Speaker Optimization 8 Hall Simulator Types (PX-S5000 - 4) 3 Surround Simulator Types (PX-S5000 - 2) DSP, Built Into Each Tone + 100 Additional DSP Presets, All Editable 12 Chorus Types (PX-S5000 - 4) +12 to -12 Adjustable Brilliance (PX-S5000: +3 to -3) Mixer - Volume, Pan, Hall/Reverb Send and Return, Chorus Send 5 Song - 30k Note Per Song MIDI Recorder Capacity (PX-S5000: 1 Song, 10k Note Capacity) Arpeggiator - 50 Types Metronome Drum Patterns - 20 Types Registration Memory Function - 96 Setups Total (for storing edited DSP, edited tones, and more) Expression/Assignable Pedal Input Pitch Bender Wheel 2 Assignable Function Knobs 1 Assignable Function Button 1 Standard Size Headphone Jack + 1 Mini Phone Jack (PX-S5000 - 2 Mini Phone Jacks) 470 Ohm Line Output (PX-S5000 - 600 Ohm) Mic Input Jack with Effects Resources: PX-S5000 Manual PX-S5000 Page PX-S6000 Manual PX-S6000 Page CS-90 Page

I was browsing YouTube and noticed a comment concerning the PX-S6000. They understood the differences between the 5000 and 7000, but did not understand why the 6000 existed other than a different case design. In another topic on this forum, I've covered the differences between a 6000 and 7000. This time I'll compare the 5000 and 6000.

The Casio wonders never cease. The other day someone in the Facebook group dug up an ultra rare model never seen in the US, the Casio Cosmotone CST-2000 organ. Look up that one if you missed it.
