I wonder if anyone can recommend any drum machines that would would well?

That's exactly the purpose of the Audio In jack, and yes, it's a 3.5mm TRS (stereo) jack. Any audio source you connect (drum machine, smart phone, mixer, etc) will be mixed with the sound of your PX-S1000, and you'll hear them both through the speakers or headphones. I only have a PX-S3000 and a CDP-S350, but I believe all current Casios with the Audio In jack work this way.

 

I'm curious, which model drum machine are you going to use with your Casio?

Hi thanks for the message!   

I'm not sure what drum machine will work?  I'm going to investigate the situation now.  I mean, I know now that I need one that outputs audio to a 3.5mm jack... 

Maybe the Yamaha HS7 Studio Monitors?  

I'd like to connect a drum machine to the PX-S1000, so I would be able to play along with headphones (with both the piano sound and the drum machine coming out of the headphones at the same time)?  Is this possible? 

Also I've looked at the back, and I assume that the "audio in" might allow for this - is this true? (If not, what is the purpose of the "audio in"?).  The "audio in" seems to be a 3.5mm socket? 

Wow that's a cool project... what a cool keyboard stand (a literal old grand piano).  I guess you could put studio monitors inside the cabinet as well? 

Have you tried changing the touch settings to "soft"?

Makes me feel a bit better, thanks.

I got some  old AKG451s that i am using for the piano if you mean headphones. Should be good enough? Just seems a bit quiet and I don't notice them being quieter generally. 

 

Got some decent Sony in-ears but not tried them out yet and not mega comfy for longer practice sessions. 

What do you mean by "knocking sound"?  Do you mean the normal sounds you would hear when you play a real piano (in which case what is the problem?)?  Or something else? 

I have a PX-S1000 and there is no "knocking sound" on any of the 88 notes. Actually the piano sound on the PX-S1000 is a beautiful Steinway sound (the only issue is that it is a little quiet, but that can be solved by changing the touch settings to "soft").  So if there are actual "knocking sounds", you must have a faulty keyboard, or there is perhaps something in your room which is vibrating on certain notes. 

Thanks for the reply! Oh ok, so Amazon is just confused by listing them separately I guess... 
 

Wouldn't this issue be covered by the warranty? Can't you just send it back to Casio to fix, if it's within two years of buying it? 

I need to buy the S-34 pedal for my PX S1000, as I believe it is the only pedal which allows half-damping (please correct me if I'm wrong). 

Looking on Amazon, there are two separate listings. 

1. The SP-34C5 pedal

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-SP-34C5-CDP-S350-CDP-S150-PX-S1000/dp/B07MWM29TL

2. The  SP-34 pedal 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/casio-SP34-Casio-3-Pedal-Board/dp/B07N5423MF 

My question is what is the difference between these pedals, and why does Amazon have separate listings for them?  Which should I buy? (Or are they the same, and if so why do they have different names?). 

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!
