This problem is already been submitted to the Facebook Casio PX-5S Discussion group and is being discussed there as well. This entry is submitted at the request of a technician at Casio Technical Services Help Desk. Casio PX-5S Stage Piano with OS 1.13. When I use my new Casio PX-5S to control my Roland BK-7m Arranger Module, I almost always get a sticking note on the L hand part of the BK-7m. The note plays through the remainder of the song and can only be shut off by turning the BK-7m and re-starting it. The Facebook discussion group was helpful. Per group advise I checked all MIDI connections and turned off the PX-5S's high resolution mode. Turning off the PX-5S's high resolution mode reduced the incidence of the L part sticking notes by 50 to 75%, but just playing for a while longer ALWAYS results in another sticky L part note. The problem can be resolved in both these unsatisfactory ways: 1. Using any other MIDI keyboard I own as the controller of the BK-7m, including a KORG PA2X Arranger. 2. Placing a Roland MC-50 Sequencer inbetween the PX-5S and the BK-7m. Apparently the MC-50, by some fluke, acts as a filter for the rogue MIDI message that is being sent out by the PX-5S. After many hours of using the PX-5S with the MC-50 between it and the BK-7m, I have not experienced a single stuck note. The cure is totally effective even without bothering to turn off the PX-5S's high resolution setting. The problem, of course, is that I do not want to have to take the Roland MC-50 Sequencer, extra MIDI cables, and the power supply for the MC-50 when I am playing out. Is there some setting I can change anywhere to fix the problem directly? Will re-flashing OS 1.13 help? Is the PX-5S defective and needs to be exchanged by the dealer? Is this a design flaw that means that even if I were given a new PX-5S, I would experience the same thing? This is such as astonishly great piano that I could not ever give it up, even if I have to carry an MC-50 with me everywere I go. Thanks for your consideration!
