Does any of the flash drives have a light to indicate it's working? It looks like if some of the contacts is not right and for the keyboard that's like having nothing plugged at all. You may try pushing very gently up or down to see if that helps the contact and the drive's light turns on. I'd also try using a vacuum cleaner to try to remove any dust from the USB port. And just in case, with a flashlight check if the contacts inside look fine, just like any other USB port. Regarding the 7.5 GB drive, to me it's clearly an 8 GB one (8 x 10^9), which is actually 7.45 GiB (gibibytes) (7.45 x 2^30). Depending on the operating system or software used, you may see GB or GiB (and both might be shown as GB or Gb, to add to the confusion).

My wild guess is that pressing several keys kind of bends the keybed and probably it's not doing proper pressing of the sensors, especially if it's on a stand... although it's still weird. Does placing the keyboards on a solid surface like a table change its behavior at all?

Just to clarify: the speakers were working fine, you disabled them, and after some time, when re-enabling them, they no longer worked? Was the keyboard moved in-between? My point is to try to guess if the issue could be software related (like some firmware bug due to some very specific combination of things done), or if maybe after transporting some cable went loose inside and the disabling was actually not related. If you put something in Audio In, does it sound? Check page A-6 (almost the end) in the manual, where you can see the circuitry simplified, and what goes to both Speakers and Line out. Does line out work fine, or you only tried the headphone jack?

If you directly record to a wav file on a pen drive and play it elsewhere, does it also sound bad? Do the demos also sound like that? Just like Brad, I couldn't notice anything odd either in your clip.

The easiest way is to start the WAV recording, pause the MIDI at the beginning, increase the tempo, and then touch on Play. But if the MIDI file has tempo changes I'm afraid this will not work, as that will override the tempo you just set... If the MIDI has tempo changes, maybe using a MIDI editor on the PC is your best option. And about Audacity, it's a great tool, but nothing done on the wave file will be the same as playing at a faster speed, as of course each instrument will sound different when sped up (even keeping the pitch). Just like changing the pitch is not the same as transposing, although if the pitch change is small, the difference will be subtle.

Haven't you seen the wheel labeled "MODULATION" on the left part of the keyboard, nor the PITCH BEND one? I'm really confused.

Are they uncompressed stereo 44.1 KHz wav files? You can always record a very short wave with the keyboard and make sure they are in the same folder and have the same format.

And I wonder... isn't maybe just as simple to directly touch the tablet's screen to go full screen? 😅 If you are playing in front of an audience you would need to mute the keyboard if you use C9 instead. AFAIK Acrobat Reader by default doesn't have the full screen button on its toolbar, but you can add and remove buttons as needed.

Very nice! I wonder if you could try something else to go full screen, another button which doesn't cause any sound, like Tempo Up (I have no experience with MIDI signaling). Are you using the left pedal to go right just because it's easier to press and that's the most common page movement? Because of course it would make sense to use left pedal for left and right (middle) for right. 😜

Nice job!! However... 😜

Can you precisely detail what you have done? The expression pedal calibration, for example? Even the manual on page 10 says "Operation has been verified for the pedals below. Roland EV-5: Set minimum volume to 0 (zero)."

I agree that it must be the time it needs to load everything into RAM. For instance, they keyboard doesn't sound until a second after the video finished. Considering that a quick start time is something players appreciate, I highly doubt Casio would just delay it to display a video. 😜

Just to avoid people search for it in case they don't know: Are you looking for the distorted bass sound? Did you try adding distortion to one of the basses? By the way, the arpeggiator options are fixed and you cannot create new ones with the PX-560M. PS: Just using English is enough.

You cannot just change a rhythm from 4/4 to 3/4, as there are many decisions to make and that couldn't be done automatically. Furthermore, rhythms can only be changed very slightly, or using other existing rhythm parts. I guess you will need to find a user made rhythm that fits your needs. Here's a post with recent replies about that:

It depends on what's your "everything". I'll quote what I wrote in my small review of the keyboard here:
