It should have been in there, though they are tightly wrapped. If it was supposed to be new, I hope you got it from a reputable seller and a full warranty (register online for extra coverage, BTW). I would contact the seller and ask them. They should send it to you.

Good point. I don't remember if it has one.

That's a bummer, Neal. Do you know how long you've owned it? When you bought it, did you register online with Casio to extend your warranty to three years? This sounds like a problem for a service tech, especially if it's still under warranty. If it isn't, you could try opening it up and making sure everything is connected properly. It depends on how handy you are and how comfortable you feel doing it.

Out of curiosity I did a search. The most recent data I could find was from May 2019. According to this, about a quarter of Android users are still running Lollipop and earlier. (Note that the data found at this link will update when Google updates the data, I believe. What I stated here is based on the date of this post.) https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/ It seems to me that Casio's best option would be to have a simple check. If the newer API is available on the device, use that, else use the older API (and if neither, do whatever it does now if the older API isn't available if that's a possibility). That would give them forward compatibility with the newer API as well as backwards compatibility with Android versions that don't have it.

You didn't say that the older API had been depreciated in your first post. You only said it was older. My concern still is that if Casio switched to the newer API, it would cut off devices running a version of Android that only supported the older API and not the newer one, whether those devices were limited to the Android version they were running, or because the user hadn't updated to the newer Android version.

If Casio switched to the newer API, would that prevent the app from working on some devices? Is it possible for an app to use both (really either) APIs for compatibility with more devices? Know that Casio America personnel read these forums and regularly pass on requests to Casio HQ in Japan. Whether or not the requests get implemented is another matter, and we won't know what Casio HQ decides until the feature or product actually appears.

There's a thread on here about some of them. I can't remember where though.

A bit OT to this discussion, but know that "idiot" used to mean "a legal and psychiatric category of profound intellectual disability in which a person's mental age is two years or less, and he or she cannot guard against common dangers. Along with terms like moron, imbecile, and cretin, the term is now archaic and considered offensive, and was replaced by the term "profound mental retardation" (which has itself since been replaced by other terms)." I believe the idiot savant condition is now called "savant" or savant syndrome. IOW, the derogatory use of the word idiot came later.

They still do. I'm waiting for the 64-bit Mac version upgrade to ship.

I finally tested it. The PX-S3000 doesn’t auto-detect the damper pedal type.

FYI - vibrato and rotary are two totally different things when it comes to Hammond organs. I read your post and thought, "you can have vibrato on a knob as well?" then I realized what you were saying. A little bit of history for you. Laurens Hammond hated the Leslie cabinets, and constantly changed the Hammond so they wouldn't work with his newest models. The vibrato/chorus effect was designed so that people wouldn't need Leslie cabinets, but instead people found interesting ways to use both.

Sorry - I assumed you meant Stage Setting as many get them mixed up.

I can try. I'm trying to remember if my M-Audio pedal has a switch for that. If it does, I will flip it to the "wrong" way and see what happens.

The short answer is, you can save any Stage Setting in any slot. It will have to replace whatever Stage Setting is in that slot. One thing Casio did was fill up all the available spaces with Stage Settings, which makes people nervous about saving them. Just find one you don't use and replace it. Meanwhile, the original Stage Setting will remain in its original spot unless you replace it with your new one.

Does the PX-S1000 not auto-detect the damper on startup? Lots of Casio models do so I would be surprised if they left this out., or is it that they don't do that with the continuous type of pedal?

It's probably not your device since the others didn't work either. If the other Lightning adaptor was an Apple one like I linked to, then it's either the USB cable or the keyboard itself. (If it wasn't an Apple adapter, sorry but those are notoriously unreliable in situations such as this.) You might try resetting your PX-S3000 (note that this will probably wipe any settings you have set on it). The directions should be in your manual, but here they are for convenience. That being said, I still suspect the adapters. You can use the procedure below to return the Digital Piano’s stored data and settings to their initial factory defaults any time you want. Hold down the [15] button until “[FUNCTION]” appears on the display. Use the [10] < and [11] > buttons to display “SYSTEM” and then touch [12] ENTER. Use the [10] < and [11] > buttons to display “Factory Reset” and then touch [12] ENTER.This displays “Sure?” To return the Digital Piano to its factory default settings, touch [11] +. To cancel this operation without changing settings, touch [10] –.

Then you need to contact the vendor where you bought it and exchange it for another one. Sorry!

Try resetting the board first. It's in the Users Guide that came with it, on the last page but pasted here for convenience. You can use the procedure below to return the Digital Piano’s stored data and settings to their initial factory defaults any time you want. Hold down the [15] button until “[FUNCTION]” appears on the display. Use the [10] < and [11] > buttons to display “SYSTEM” and then touch [12] ENTER.

It's hard to say. Occasionally, someone will post about a noisy key on a new model and it was new enough that they exchanged it for another (for example, see the thread about having a PX-560 for a year under that topic). There have been people here who have successfully disassembled and reassembled various 88-key models, but I don't know if any of those repaired a noisy key. Those threads might be under multiple topics, mostly under a PX area. I think it's mostly Jokeyman who has done it or led others.

This looks like the one I'm using. Sorry the one you have, by Apple, doesn't seem to work in this situation. You might try plugging in your lightning cable to power in the other port and see if that helps before you buy the one John and I have, as well as trying a different USB cable.

Just about all the cabinet-less PX models use the same 12V power adapter, as well as the CDP130, CDP-135, CDP-S100, and CDP-S350. I'm sure the PX-x50 and the PX-x60 models use it (again, excluding the ones with cabinets, such as PX-7x0, PX-8x0, etc.). All that being said, I'd wonder why so many PX-S1000 models were on eBay already, and without power adapters. That seems a little shady to me. I doubt they come with the warranty at the very least.

So far what I've found is that the metronome on the PX-S3000 is considered an Auto Accompaniment pattern. On the foldout User Guide that came with your PX-S3000 go to page 2/4. On the bottom half, you'll see "Using Auto Accompaniment". The first four columns tell you how to use Auto Accompaniment generally. The next to last column has a section called, "Metronome Accompaniment Patterns". You'll want to choose one of these patterns (BALLAD 39 - 48) to get a built-in metronome. I guess the short version of this is, use button [15] to cycle until you see RHYTHM on the display. Use buttons [10] and [11] to select one of BALLAD 39 - 48. Touch [12] to choose a tempo, and use [10] and [11] to adjust. Touch [8] to Start and Stop.

I have my PX-S3000 on a Z-style stand (I think the brand is On Stage) and it's fine. There are rubber cushions on the stand that keep the keyboard from moving around.
