The technology in the CT-X3000/5000 is based on Kemper amp profiler. They're extremely close to that level of modeling.

Correct, as soon as you select a tone anything that has been done with the knobs previously is reset.

The knobs function as "Offsets" for a stored parameter. So at the center position the knob isn't doing anything to the selected tone. If you turn the knob left you're subtracting from the stored value - closing a filter, making an envelope faster, decreasing reverb depth - depending on what function you've chosen for the knobs.

There is no "default" for the knobs. A saved registration determines the function of the knobs. So for example if you're playing Piano + Strings you could change the function of the knobs to be layer balance and store it as a registration so it always functions that way when you select it.

Sounds like a topic for our next webinar.

Actually “BrightSawPd2” pretty much nails it. No editing needed

Absolutely! First go through the synth and synth pad categories, you'll find many that are close but they'll almost all require some slight tweaks which you can do using the knobs. 1. Set the knobs to Amp Envelope - turn knob 1 and knob 2 all the way to the left so it has a fast attack and fast release. 2. Set the knob to Filter and use knob 1 to open / close the filter to taste. I was messing around with the one of the pad sounds called 80sSynthPad2 (I think that is what is was called) yesterday and had a ton of fun. Once you have it the way you like it you can save it as a new registration.

The FREEZE function can be set to ignore the split point that is stored in the registration. Page 69 of the manual.

Yes by saving your preferred split point in that registration.

The split point could also be saved in any custom registration that you create.

That doesn't have anything to do with the model number. Thank you.

Could you post a picture of the box where it says CT-X5000C2 please?

There are not multiple versions of this product. Why he has is listed as a C2 is a mystery to me.

The sensitivity of the Touch Panel buttons can be changed in the SYSTEM menu. I have a feeling that this is causing the issue for some of you.

If it has MIDI in and out it can work with your PC, you simple will need a USB MIDI Interface such as this: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/mio--iconnectivity-mio-usb-midi-interface

No, its on the front panel. I'll check mine and confirm exactly where it is.

Do you have one of the Performance Filters turned on? That would explain it.

No. You can't add effects on the CDP-S350 line input. If you want to add effects through PC software the best route is to connect a mic to an audio interface on the PC directly.

If you set Cutoff to a knob instead a slider, the center position is the "stored value" and you can go -/+ from there.

No the CDP-S350 does not have a sampling feature.

Sounds like a physical issue that would need to be seen by an authorized warranty center.

Are you sure you're connecting to the line outputs not the line inputs?

Advantages of the PX-S3000 over the CDP-S350 (off the top of my head) Better piano sound and piano experience (damper resonance, string resonance, mechanical noises and more) Better and fully editable global effects Expression Pedal Input and 2 knobs for realtime control Tone editing and insert effects editing Higher polyphony Better speaker system USB Audio Recording Bluetooth Audio Input 1/4 Audio Outputs I'd also add the cosmetic appearance to the advantage list but the CDP-S350 is also pretty cool looking. Mechanically the keyboard actions are very similar but there is additional patent pending technology in the PX-S3000 related to the action and how the piano sound respond. It has a better touch to sound connection that is more like a piano as opposed to a an electronic keyboard.
