Many thanks. You have saved me hours of trying to make this work. I believe there is a better way to make work what I want to do. Even if I need another device.  What device would you recommend for this application if any? I can't be the first person to try this? 

I have a PX-5 and am new to MIDI. I know it's been around awhile , but that's beside the point. I would like to use a foot triggered device to tell the PX-5 to play a sequence of notes  that are pre recorded on the Casio then change key when I press a different pedal on the foot triggered device. A simple example is any 3 cord country song with a simple bass progression.  Will the PX-5 work as a sequencer for a series of pre set notes that I can set to one MIDI channel, then when I press a different foot pedal set to a different MIDI channel it will change to the key?  

I have watched lots of YT videos on MIDI and several on the Casio, but no clear answer yet. I already have the piano but there may be a better way to do what I want. Hell, I'm not much of a piano player anyway.  Any help is appreciated. Video links, words of wisdom, what ever. At end of day I'd like to start out just playing a little guitar and being able to change the preset bass pattern by foot. 

I have found some of the presets where the keyboard is already split and I can work with that, but would like to know how to do it from the start. Thanks.

Could have likely been the problem. Just came in from work and still have my heavy steel toed boots on. Could easily have had it compressed. I'm glad you posted. That's good to know. Thanks.

FInally gave up and did a system reset. Work like it should now. Any ideas what went wrong in the first place?

I just bought the PX-5S this weekend and have been watching videos and messing with all of the features to try and learn all the tricks. Anyway, I was playing last night and the pedal worked correct. ie..pedal not pushed down, no sustain. Pedal pushed down, sustain. I turn it back on tonight and it is right opposite, the paino has sustain all the time and stopped when I pressed the pedal. It was not only on the paino setting either,  I switched to the organ and it was the same on it. I thought it was something in the "system" setting so I started looking and changing some things. Only now I have no sustain pedal pushed or not.

I have downloaded the "tutorial" manual from the website and it does make the drilling down through the menu easier, but I've only made my problm worse. I know there is a way to do a system reset, but I'd rather not since I have already edited some stage settings and tones to my likeing. Any ideas??

Very frustrated :angry: . Been trying to get it right for over an hour now.
