Thanks again Brad and Casiokid. Much appreciated

Firstly, thanks to both Brad and Casiokid for you quick replies. So now I am a bit confused - if what Brad says is true, how would I set up the pedalboard so play. I assume it is not just play and play (I wish!). Do I plug in the pedal board to the MIDI In port selector, then select port A (how?) and do I have to do anything after that? I assume it can't be that easy. Again thanks for the information and for trying to explain as simply as possible.

I would like to add a pedal board to the PX-560M and use it to play notes - like the pedals on an electronic organ. It is hard to find a pedalboard in Australia, however there is this one: Studiologic MP 113 Dynamic Controller Pedalboard. The sales rep from Casio sent this advice to the dealer: "The PX560M is MIDI compatible so will work with any MIDI device. Just be clear with your customer that there is no internal MIDI map as such in the PX560 for the Studiologic pedal board specifically, so they will need to set up channels, note limits and control messages themselves…in other words, it probably won’t just plug n play, but it can be configured and the settings can then be saved into memory on the keyboard. " I don't know anything about MIDI so my question is - how hard is it to make this pedal board play base notes like on an organ and how do you do it? I am surprised that I can't find information about adding an extra set of keys to an electronic keyboard - but maybe people simply buy an electronic organ. Hopefully it is possible to easily set up the pedalboard to my 560M. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks Tony
