  1. Thanks Jokeyman123 for your suggestions. I have previously done a factory reset to no avail. Attached is a 1min 29sec sound sample made up as follows: Middle C D E F G A B C D E F G. Two Octaves from A below Middle C then Bb, B, etc to E. Major Triads starting at Bb below Middle C, then B etc to E. To my ears, the B and C an octave above middle C are most different from all the other notes played. Being in our 4th Lockdown because of Covid in Melbourne, Australia, I spend a lot of time playing my Casio PX 560. Because I am aware of the different tones with those particular notes I hear it loud and clear every time. Anyway would be grateful for any comments. Thanks again. Neil The Hat. TAKE00.WAV
  2. Thanks Brad for your suggestion. Unfortunately using the wheel hasn't helped. As Andrew suggested I assigned the wheel to a different task and nothing has changed. Therefore I'm pretty confident it is not caused by the wheel. The Troubleshooting section of the Manual states "multiple digital samples are taken for the low range, middle range and high range, of the original musical instrument. Because of this there may be a very slight difference in tonal quality and volume between sample ranges." I'm inclined to think that this is what is causing the effect that I can hear. When an acoustic piano is tuned, the three strings of a note need to vibrate at the same frequency. If they are not spot on, it sounds as if the piano is slightly out of tune. I think that is what is happening due to the original sampling process. Not everybody will notice this but my hearing is particularly sensitive to it. I just recently downloaded one of the piano sounds from the Casio Forum Website (Steinway and noticed that it sounds exactly the same. All of the above has convinced me that there is nothing wrong with the piano, but I have very sensitive hearing. Thanks very much for your input. Neil The Hat.
  3. Hi guys, I have been enjoying my PX 560 for about 3 years usually doing jazz gigs. However, a couple of months ago I started getting a tremolo effect when playing any piano tone. The tremolo is only noticeable in a handful of notes around the C above middle C. The Modulation wheel is definitely turned off (I previously experienced the Modulation wheel effect over the whole keyboard and spent 30 minutes discovering the problem). The Tremolo appears whether using the piano's inbuilt speakers, an external PA system or even a good set of head phones. Any solution suggestions to remove this tremolo would be gratefully received. Neil The Hat.
