Good evening guys. I am a music producer/beatmaker, born as a guitarist, who learned piano self-taught over the years. I enjoyed playing pianos and e-pianos on my long time Casio - CDP 100, while I used a cheap but effective MIDI controller for general DAW control, pads, drums, etc. Unfortunately, since I left my country and all my stuff in my parents' house, I won't be able to have these two pieces of equipment with me. I was looking for a convenient solution that could give me both a digital piano with good sounds and a midi controller (also because my flat is tiny). After browsing the web and shops in my city, I found the new CT-S400 to be the sweet spot between my budget/quality of sounds/keybed feel and playability. I was happy to see that it could also work efficiently as a MIDI controller. One thing I wasn't able to verify though, was its MIDI/SySex implementation for DAW control and clock, mostly transport controls (play, stop and record from within the DAW). They were quite essential for my workflow, and the lack of it could actually be a dealbreaker. Does any possessor or Casio expert know more about this? During my research I found out that the CT-S500 has something like that only for play/stop commands, but I am not sure if it could be worth, at least for me, to spend +100 € more, to have just part of these function. Thank you for reading this message and I wish you a great night. Pietro

Hey I'm wondering if there's anyway to set a default function so when I turn on my LK-170 it automatically has Local function turned off, I plan to just use this keyboard for midi and its annoying having to turn off local every time I turn it on. Is there anyway to turn local off and keep it off for good?

Hello: Re: CDP130 I have two problems. -Is there a way to set the functions so that they don't disappear if the keyboard is not used for a few days? -Someone must know how to set the functions to true scale quality. In my case the first octave below middle C: C, C#, D, D#, E and F are badly off key. What are the Functions to set the tone quality properly? Thanks

It took a lot of time and patience to get the best piano tone I could and today it was all gone. I hadn't used the piano for a few days and when I went back to it all the function settings were gone. These are not recent settings, i did them some time ago but they have always been there. What could make this happen and how can I keep it from happening again? Appreciate your help

The middle register doesn't sound as good as the rest of the piano or as good as I thought it sounded in the store. But, there doesn't seem to be much change when I use the functions to change to Hall or Grand piano. I wonder if there is a trick I don't know about that would give me better quality. Any suggestions? As well, the pedal seems to be weak compared to an acoustic. It came with it but perhaps there is a better one? Appreciate your help Thanks
