Does this happen on multiple USB drives? Multiple different brand names? Or on just one? If this is occurring on just the one device, then your PX is telling you that it can't read it. I'm sorry for stating the obvious. Maybe it's too large for the PX to handle. Maybe it's too small. USB flash manufacturers work very hard to make sure that their devices work with PC's, but not very hard (at al)) to make sure that they work with musical instruments. If this is occurring on multiple devices, then you probably have a hardware issue which would need to be repaired. That's all I've got. Sorry if it doesn't help much. --wpd

Very nice! I'm going to have to pay more attention to the sound when I go to my next lesson. I know it was a lead sound, but I don't know much of anything more than that. Thanks for the help folks! --wpd

I was at my piano lesson last week and asked my teacher what synth sound he had on his two keyboards. He said "Oh, it's a classic Minimoog sound from the 1970's". Does anybody know how to get that sound out of the PX-S3000? Does one of the existing tones come close? Does anybody have a saved registration with the custom DSP tweaks to make that sound? (I guess I could have tried recording the sound on my phone while I was there, and then listened to all 700 tones in the PX-S3000 to find one that matched... but I figured it would be easier (and certainly lazier!) for me to ask here first 🙂 !) --wpd

Oops... I saw "px-s3000" in the question and said to myself, "Oh! I can answer that!", totally missing the fact that the OP was asking about the 's1000. Sorry about that. --wpd

Can you give us some more examples? There are independent settings for the volume for Layer 1, Layer 2, and the lower split. You can adjust those through the SETTINGS menu. Is that what you are looking for? --wpd

Also, the keyboard comes with a sustain pedal... it doesn't come with the fancy SP-34 pedal, but it comes with a basic on/off pedal. --wpd

The metronome volume is controlled by the "Accomp Volume" parameter. See page EN-57 in the manual. --wpd

That's a great question! I don't recall reading about that feature in the documentation... but it could be there and I just don't recall it. What I do recall is that you can press and hold the TEMPO button and tap a tempo on the keys, but that could be difficult to do during a performance. Also, I'm pretty sure that the tempo is stored as part of a registration, so if you had two registrations stored that were identical except for the tempo setting, you could switch back and forth at the tap of a button. This is interesting.... the manual contains this description for the EXPRESSION/ASSIGNABLE jack: "For connection of a separately available expression pedal, the included pedal (SP-3), or a separately available CASIO sustain pedal, selectable function (expression, master volume, tempo, layer balance, sustain (off, on), sostenuto (off, on), soft (off, on), arpeggio hold (off, on), play/stop, fill-in)" That word "tempo" caught my eye... Oh... look at page EN-9 in the manual... you can control the tempo with an expression pedal. That's cool! As I said... that's a great question!

Is your daughter interested in being adopted? It could be a temporary adoption if you both want... just until Christmas or Father's day. 🙂 --wpd

I ordered an SP-34 Pedal Unit for my PX-S3000. Here's a picture of the box it in which the pedal unit arrived arrived. Look closely at the warning label. It says "DO NOT STEP ON" I just received a pedal unit I can't step on!!!! 🙂🙂🙂 That tickled my funny bone. But I have been advised that I have a warped sense of humor. Enjoy! --wpd

My favorite arrangement I've found in the Musescore library is an arrangement of "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC.... ...for a flute quartet! --wpd

Thanks Mike. I don't see any way for me to delete this thread. I'll leave it up to you and the other administrators whether to delete this as unproductive noise or not. --wpd

Here's what the email from casio@regconfirmation.com said: I just now realized that it said "20%" not the "30%" I mentioned previously. Another victim of the COVID-19 pandemic -- my glasses broke about 1 month in, and I didn't get a new pair until last week. So, when I read it previously, I thought it said "30%". (True story! 🙂 ) I would happily have trusted the Confirmation Number given in the email and not given it a second thought if the discount code and "Redeem Now" links had worked. When they didn't, and when I couldn't get a response any other way, I figured I would give it some time and then ask here. (Some people might claim that I am somewhat forgetful... I choose to say that I am patient). Perhaps this was a scam... but if it was, it was one that I "fell for" by clicking through https://www.casio.com/support/registration/, and if that's a scam, then Casio's infosec and/or legal team should be made aware of it. FWIW, I read the bit about extending my 1 year warranty to 3 years by registering my product in a post on 9/4 in the "POWER ISSUE ON PX S-3000" topic in this forum. If the answers are, "My PX-S3000 is warrantied for 3 years whether I register it or not" and "sorry, there are no 20% discount codes offered by Casio", then I'll call this done, delete this thread (or request that it be deleted) and apologize for the noise. --wpd

I'm sorry to air my dirty laundry here. I will happily delete this post when this gets resolved. But I don't know where else to turn. I finally got around to registering my PX-S3000 a few weeks ago and was pleased to receive a 30% discount coupon for an an accessory purchase. (Aside... I'm kicking myself now for not having done that before I bought the carrying case -- which I LOVE BTW). Anyway, when I tried applying the discount code to purchase an SP-34, I was told that it was invalid. Then I noticed that there was a "Redeem Now" link in the email. I tried clicking on that link and FIrefox told me that there was a security problem with the site. I tried going the through the registration process again and got the same results. I tried telling Firefox to ignore the security violation and that allowed me to visit the site, but the discount code still didn't work. I tried filling out a customer support request form online at the Casio site and nothing happened when I clicked the "Submit" button. (Yes, I checked for error messages and made sure I clicked the "I am not a robot" checkbox). I tried calling Customer Support and got a recording saying that due to COVID-19, telephone customer support is no longer available. I tried emailing Customer support (on 9/30) and received the automated "Your request has been received" email response, but have not heard anything since. I know that his is all COVID-19 related, but I have still have 2 questions/requests: How do I know if my PX-S3000 has been registered properly so that the warranty support is upgraded from 1 year to 3 years? How can I claim the 30% accessory discount code so that I can purchase an SP-34 I don't know if @Mike Martincan help me with this. And I do request that this public forum post be deleted (if I cannot delete it myself) once these two questions are answered. Thanks --wpd

Hi Michael, Welcome to the forum! Chordana Play for Piano requires a USB connection, not a Bluetooth connection. You need a cable that fits in the small square plug on the back of the PX-S3000 (not the rectangular plug -- that is for USB memory sticks only). --wpd
