Hi Altrie How did you calculate the correct value of 112? I'd like to understand this better. Also, is the PX-5S using bankselmethod=1 or bankselmethod=controller 0, as I noticed that you mention needing to select controller 0 in Cakewalk? Thanks Steve

Hi Michiel, Many thanks for posting this. Could you explain the Patch[ xxxx] numbers below? Patch[6144]=Casio PX350 Bank 48 Patch[6272]=Casio PX350 Bank 49 Patch[6400]=Casio PX350 Bank 50 [...] Could one instead write something like this: BankSelMethod=1 Patch[48]=Casio PX350 Bank 48 Patch[49]=Casio PX350 Bank 49Patch[50]=Casio PX350 Bank 50 [...] im pretty new to all this and trying to understand the syntax so I can modify this for a PX-360 Regards Steve

According to the manual , the PX-360 also adds string resonance.

However, they do publish a detailed midi implementation for the 760, 860, 160 etc and similar for older models such as 350 and 150 so I would suggest it's a matter of time before the 360 and 560 get added http://support.casio.com/en/manual/008/PX760_860_1500_160_AP260_460_MIDI_E_EN.pdf They do need to add those models, as it's been found that continuous half pedal is output over midi on the 360 and 560 whereas in the midi implementation for the 350 for example, only 3 levels of half pedal are supported. http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/9192-px350360-with-sp33-half-damper-function/#entry28545

I've verified that the PX-360 sustain pedal sends a full range of midi (0-127) . I did this using a variable resistor connected to the pedal port pins and monitoring using midi-ox I used the connector diagram shown here http://joflaherty.org/PianoPedal/Pedals.pdf With wiper of pot connected to long_sustain , and ends connected to common and short_sustain( short_sustain on PX-120 for half pedal , but 3 volts on PX-360) midi 127 corresponds to 3 Volts on long_sustain midi 0 to 0.4 volts or less The PX-360 also responds to the continuous pedal when playing. Very pleased this is the case!

That's interesting, so the SP-33 damper is continuous. I'll need to test this on the PX-360. As you say , perhaps it was fixed in the PX-x60 series. I purchased a Roland RPU-3 which I was going to interface with an Arduino to generate midi out for all 3 pedals, but it's possible that it may be able to interface directly to the PX-360 pedal connector and generate continuous damper if it behaves as you reported for the PX-560. Fingers crossed!

It's been mentioned in another thread that the px350 only supports half and not continuous pedal over midi with sp33, although Mike Martin thought it was sending continuous data to the internal sound generator. So a couple of questions, maybe Mike can confirm: Was this ever resolved? Does the SP33 have a continuous damper ie is it a potentiometer ( but is converted to 3 midi levels by the px350)? Is the px360 situation identical to above? Thanks in advance Steve
