Thanks for the post and other people's reply. They are extremely helpful. I've had my piano since 11/2022 and I started noticing a change to the loudness of the keys over the holidays. This seemed more noticeable to the right of Middle C. I have reached out to Casio for options and to check if the manufacturer date of my piano had related issues. A friend of mine just got a digital keyboard from a long standing competitor and the keybed is noticeably more quiet. Best, Rob

Thanks for the reply and information Brad. I will probably have to look at the custom settings. I went through the recording MIDI data on Maschine (automation) and changed the bank (Piano / E Piano / Others) as well as selecting Programs. When I played back the recording things sounded okay, but then I tested the data by changing the Bank / Program and found that the data wouldn't change the S7000 back to what was originally recorded. Only when I re-selected the Bank / Program on the S7000 did it sound like the original MIDI recording. This seemed odd because I assumed that Bank / Program / Patch data would have been recorded. I am probably missing something in Maschine and I'll try Ableton a bit more this weekend. This is why I installed MIDIVIEW to see specific information about the MIDI data received on the computer from the S7000. Again thanks for your input. It gives me hope that I am looking at things correctly. Seems like more of a technical issue of manually editing data. This is a bit new and I thought that any recording data would be captured by a DAW and replayed back. I do realize that different musical instruments treat data differently and more programming might be needed. This is where I think Ableton might be of more help.

Working with the new S7000 and looking at ways to automate the patch changes. It seems that control for the S7000 is only with the 127 GM patches. I can play through the 400 pages only when I select one before sending MIDI not data over USB. I tried viewing the MIDI data using the free program MIDIVIEW on Win11 and I can see the Bank / Program changes when I operate the S7000. When I try to send these through my DAW (NI Maschine) I only get the standard 127GM. Can anyone out there confirm? What might I be missing? I'll try working on this through Ableton tomorrow. Thanks in advanced to the wonderful collective knowledge base that exists on the net.
