Just noticed this post, yes still lurking around.  I also have and play the PX575/410 and the workaround for this is do-able (I think that's a word!) 2 ways I do this. One way is through the "mixer" function in song mode. The default tone is always on mixer channel 1, and the loudness of that can be changed with the mixer functions. I find this to be pretty easy since I can be in song mode even if not recording. Check my PX575 posts here for more on this.The other option I've used is to pick a tone, switch to "synth" mode and edit the "level" setting or touch sensitivity or both, and store the changes to a user tone. I only wish  the PX350 had these functions. I've noticed the newer PX360 and 560 have some of these functions built-in.

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try. I've always owned Yamaha or Korg in the past. This is my first Casio. It was new in a sale in Thailand at only 300 pounds. At first I thought it a bargain, 88 key board for that price, But to be honest I'm not overly impressed. A couple of the problems others are experiencing are now happening to mine. Now the D key next to middle C is clattering when pressed and does not return to it's normal position. Could be a spring. I will keep you informed. Cheers Bob

Unfortunately so. You may have noticed some the work I've done trying to solve these (not so bad) limitations with my PX350 but I'm still knocked out by the PX pianos, very nice. Nothing is perfect. I have asked Casio tech support and Mike Martin if it is possible to add this feature to the PX series somehow-to be able to better control the dynamics of individual sounds, especially using the 17-track sequencer, but even if the fixed setting for key action could be adjusted instead of it defaulting to 127, that would solve this problem. 

 

Mike posted to me that this can't really be done due to how the software is installed-the XW and PX5s (I think) can flash firmware updates, the the PX series is not designed that way.

 

So Sophie for live performance, I guess a volume pedal will be the only "hands-free" solution. For playing at home just have to get used some sounds being louder than others I guess. Repeating myself but yes on the PX350 the organs are definitely quite a bit louder than many of the other touch-sensitive sounds or tones so like Charles said, probably not a malfunction, just a technical "weirdness"!

Not sure if you are still submitting post on this thread but here goes. I recently purchased a PX410R and I have the same problem. Generally pianos, woodwind, organ, brass,and electric guitars (especially so) are all pretty loud, but elec pianos, accoustic guitars are all much quieter. Did you resolve this problem at all? I'd be very interested to know.

i have a few posts here somewhere about the PX575 I purchased just a few months ago. Might be some stuff you might find helpful. Not about the IDES software, you seem to have that under control. More about the sequence recording and a few other things I discovered.  And even though I have the PX350 which is another wonderful keyboard, I love the PX575. It is similar to the WK3300 as far as functions, rhythms and tones. I have managed to record a few simple multi-track arrangements with it and it sounds real nice. And thanks BradMZ for posting the links.

Just a quickie, Is the 

PX410R purchased in Thailand the same board as the PX575 in other countries?

I have similar issues as the above. Thanks in advance
