Got it. I will of course get used to it, I was pedalling the way I would on my GP400, and whether the tension is higher on this or whether the travel distance is set differently, there is no doubt that what would have been considered "full-pedal" on the GP400 wasn't enough to trigger full pedal on this.. BTW, Absolutely extraordinary how much there is in this keyboard.

IS there a way to change the point at which it considers it full pedaling?

Perhaps not. OMG, could it be half-pedalling?

I have been using the 3-pedal casio pedal unit on my pxs3100 (both are new). Usually when I depress the sustain pedal it works as it should, but there are times when the sustain seems to last just two or three seconds. Turning the unit off an don seems to fix that. Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks. I like that it sounds more resonant. So is this essentially the grand piano sound with effects rather than based on an older sound or a compressed sound? ( I really liked it sound but I wanna make sure that I'm practicing with something that has the full dynamic range)

Thanks!

When I use the casio app attached to my phone, Any notes I play on the piano are also heard on the phone as squeaky midi tones. Of course it's fairly simple to turn the sound on the phone off but is there any way to use the app without The keyboard sending sound to the tablet/ phone to which it is connected? Asking because If I'm just using my phone to change the settings on the piano I'd rather not enough to fiddle with the volume buttons on my phone every time...... I know its not really a big deal but just wondering.

Perhaps this is a silly question because piano sounds are what they are, But what was the intent with the ambient piano sound? ( One can speak of a mellow piano, a bright piano, a stage piano, etc. I don't know what an 'ambient' piano means. )

Just got a 3100. Liked the gp400 in my home so much that i decided to get the 3100 (to practice in my office). How do i load registrations into the pxs3100?

Obviously, the solution works. However, as much as i appreciate (1) casio making this a priduct which appeals to gigging musicians (2) casio packing a ton of features into a small package, it seems that if this is also for beginners, the metronome should be one of the easiest thing to access instead of hidden as a rhythm. A possible suggestion for future: separate metronome button on main panel.

Can the damper pedal be used as a page turner?

I personally like the Philips 9500. I don't disagree that headphones will provide better lows/bass in the sound. My subjective feeling is that the experience of having the sound project from the piano itself before it hits the eardrum produces a more satisfying sense of realism for me, and I don't see headphones as reproducing that perfectly. But you are def correct that in many ways the sound through headphones is fuller.

No, unfortunately I don't have a traditional midi to usb cable. I am thinking you're correct, a loose/broken connector is probably to blame. The person I spoke with in tech support did suggest that another route would be trying to get support via email but I feel that I need guidance as to how.

Yup, tried midi OX. Computer is not seeing any midi data. I CHecked via windows device settings too. I suspect that something about the connection on the board became loose. How do I get someone at Casio to help? As I wrote, when I called tech support they said there was nothing much they could do because I was using Windows 10. How do I contact someone higher up to arrange a repair? BTW thanks of course for taking the time to answer!

I was playing around with pianoteq a few months ago, and after playing a few months without my computer connected at all, I decided yesterday to give pianoteq another try, connecting the GP400 to my computer using a "printer USB" cable. However, it seems that the computer does not recognize that there is a keyboard attached. I tried several cables (all of which wirk when attached to printers), several computers, several ports on each computer. I can amphatically state that the cables are not the issue, the pots are not the issue, and teh computers are not the issue. It seems that the only common denominator is the piano. It seems like the USB connector isn't 'making a connection' when the cable is in. It also seems like the connector feels a bit loose on the piano end of things, but I am uncertain about this because I don't know how loose it is supposed to feel. WHen I called CAsio SUpport, they were unfortunately of no help. The tech support person actually "diagnosed" the porblem as being that the Gp400 only works with WIndows 7 and Vista, not WIndows 10. I politely explained that this was not the case, and that the manual must have been made before windows 10 came out. Other than asking me to turn the piano on and off and asking me to switch to windows 7, she had no advice. HELP! I suspect I need home service but she refused to set that up, telling me that I needed a Windows 7 computer, and that the best I coudl do would be to call back to speak to someone else. Given that I have no choice, I suppose I will do that on MOnday if I can't resolve the issue. Aside from the fact that Casio really has to train their tech support team better (she did seem very nice), any ideas on how to get my cimputer to recognize a USB connection to the piano?
