But on organ, it's much more than volume. It changes the character of the sound.

Many people seem to think that the expression pedal on a Hammond is only used to control the volume of the organ, but this is only part of its function, it also acts as a (passive, non-linear) equalizer (EQ). When the volume is low, higher frequencies are much more attenuated (reduced) than lower ones, leading to a much bass-heavy sound and less pronounced highs. The reverse is true when the expression pedal is put to full throttle (loudest volume), which results in a much brighter sound with relatively reduced bass content.

It's obviously a CT-S200 or similar with orange(?!) tape over CASIO.

@Brad Saucier's answer is to reset the keyboard to factory defaults. This is done if there's a problem or if you've gotten yourself down so deep you cannot easily get back out. I suspect you want something else, like to get back to just a basic piano sound. That's as easy as pushing the appropriate button.

I like the Long Press to turn the unit off.  I wish I had that option on my PX-5S!  (I still have an SD card case fastened over my switch., ala Scott H.)

I think it's a long press on the PX-5S, but it wasn't long enough.  

Not that I mind you testing, and I'm always interested in the results of a good test, but how much does it matter? Are you playing or creating compositions that use that many notes? Are you driving the CDP-S350 with a DAW pushing a ton of notes into it? (Which would probably be the easiest way to test polyphony, BTW.) 

If Casio's algorithm is really good, you may never be able to tell what the polyphony really is, like @Brad Sauciersaid. But if testing it is a fun project for you, go for it. I would just suggest that you don't drive yourself and anyone near you crazy trying to figure this out.

Rushing to the door is part of my daily exercise program!! 😉

I don't want to take your exercise away so I won't tell you that a) Sweetwater almost always uses FedEx, not UPS, and 2) both shipping companies have tracking apps that you can set up so that when your package is being delivered that day, it will notify you, as well as when they deliver it.

Keep rushing to that door! 😁

Let us know what you find.

That seems like a physical resonance. It may seem silly, but check if the instrument is up against something that it is causing to vibrate, including the wall, or if something nearby is vibrating. Then see if there is something in the instrument itself that seems to be vibrating/resonating excessively when you play those notes. It's possible something is loose. If that's the case hopefully you're still under warranty coverage.

That's a helluva performance though. But I wonder, how can he see with those welder's goggles on? 😂

Marketing has little to do with logic or consistency

As far as naming products, it varies.  Sometimes companies try to stick with rigid naming rules, and then all of a sudden they'll come out with a product that breaks those rules for no apparent reason.

As far as the 500 vs 1000V, my guess is that while they could have called the 1000V the 500V, they would have run the risk of the V getting lost sometimes. "I want that new Casio 500" "500 or 500V?" "Um, what's the difference?" Or a sloppy YT reviewer raves about the voice synth in the "CT-S500" and people buy that model and then are angry it doesn't have the voice synth.

IOW, it was probably named the 1000V by the Department of Redundancy Department.  

No he's not. You asked why it was called that and he gave examples of other products that are similar to each other but have different names.

I thought the CT-X line already had Vox and Farfisa organs presets.  Maybe they're under a different name, like electric organ?  

They are definitely NOT under names like F-ORGAN or V-ORGAN if they're in there. The listings don't show any name like that nor did I find them when scrolling through the presets. @Kyoto92would have to figure out which other organ sounds closest.

(I once saw a video of a guy playing one of those red keyboards and he managed to tweak it to sound like a 60s combo organ. I think I asked him how he did it, or maybe talked about it on the Keyboard Corner, but I don't recall where nor what the settings were.)

"V" may stand for Viscount-a 60's era combo organ similar to the Farfisa-which must be what the "F" stands for.

You're right about Farfisa, but V is usually a Vox.

FYI, the CT-S1000V manual is really big. I had to right/control-click on it to download directly to my computer. When I let it load in the browser window, it never completed. The first time, I didn't realize that and then saved it to my computer from there, resulting in a file that was about half blank.

This may seem counterintuitive, but if you've disassembled it, perhaps you've assembled something too tight. Sometimes a vibration comes from that.

That sounds like a physical vibration to me. I would try putting my other hand in various places on the keyboard and whatever it's placed on to see if the sound goes away when I do that. I would work my way around the keyboard case, near the speakers, the controls, the music stand if it's on there, etc., then to the table or stand it's placed on. I would also check the batteries and the battery cover.

what time, Paris hour, the special event about the CT-S1000V and CT-S500 will take place exactly in Europe?

https://casiokeynote.com

It's 1 pm Eastern Time so what time is that in Paris? Around 6 or 7 pm I think. I don't know if the above link gives local time or just Eastern Time.

I'm trying to think of what it could be. The CDP-100 doesn't have a pitch bend nor a modulation wheel so it's not that.

Some of it may be related to velocity sensitivity but again, the CDP-100 generally has simple sounds and I don't think any of them do that.

Was this purchased new or used?

Yes, for beginners, if they continue to make plastic toys with their squeaky, plastic sounds!

Depending on where you live, cans of compressed air can be purchased at places like office supply stores, computer stores, and online. 
 

in the meantime, try working that key and tilting the keyboard to its sides. It might work any debris out. 
 

just because it recurred for someone else doesn’t mean it will for you. Even if it does, it’s possible it happened to happen again and you can fix it yourself again. You don’t really have anything to lose by trying, except perhaps the cost of the compressed air cans. 

OT but I hope you are okay, Cyberyogi. Please take care of yourself and get any help you need. We care.

P.S. I moved this topic because you had it in the wrong area. I understand the confusion between "PX-5S" and "PX-S Series" so no worries.

Hello Joe,

I tried hooking up my iPad through midi. But, the app isn’t picking up my board. Sound ran straight to my amp from keyboard on my app, but no still no sound from the physical board. But, everything on the board lights up however. Thanks!

Have you used the iPad with it before? What I'm trying to figure out is if the keyboard action itself is transmitting to the instrument or outside of it. If the iPad isn't recognizing key presses from your PX-5S, that may be the same problem. Brad has good suggestions to check as well.

Have you tried playing the demo song (I don't remember if this model has one but I'm pretty sure it does)?

Can you connect another keyboard via MIDI and see if that makes it sound? How about vice-versa?

Have you tried connecting it to a computer via MIDI or USB and seeing if it registers there?

Yes it is.
