I just discovered a neat feature of my px-s3000 when I was playing with the DSP settings. I discovered that when I pressed the - and + keys simultaneously, they reset the DSP parameter to its default setting. I thought that pressing them simultaneously always reset a setting to 0, but for the DSP parameters, at least, it resets the setting to the default value for the DSP. Why do I care? Well, suppose I wasn't paying close enough attention when I decided to edit the "Auto Pan" DSP and I selected the "Rate" parameter instead of the "Depth" parameter... how do I know what it was set to before I started fiddling? I can just press the - and + buttons simultaneously to get back to the original setting and move on to changing the "Depth" parameter. Yes, I know I could reset the parameter by exiting out of the edit menu, choosing a different DSP, and then going back into "Auto Pan", but what would happen if I was changing the 4th DSP module and just wanted to reset one parameter after having changed a bunch of parameters in modules 1 through 3. Nice! Thanks guys! --wpd

I'll keep this one short. I don't hear any difference in the default Concert Grand Piano setting in sound output as I wiggle those knobs. What should I expect to hear? (Maybe my ear is just not picking it up.) Are they disabled for the Concert Grand and perhaps other pianos? What tones should/do they effect, and how? I'm curious. And I'm a bit of a monkey... if I see a knob, I'm going to crank it up to 11 just to see what happens. And then I get confused when nothing happens (that I notice). Thanks --wpd

Here is an experiment, I wonder any of you see this too... Reset settings Select 07:Porta./Mod. for the knob setting Dial knob 2 all the way to the left Play some piano music... it sounds reasonable Dial it all the way to the right... each note has a lot of vibrato Ok, that sounds weird, and is definitely not a normal piano sound, but it's fun to play with. Now repeat the experiment with a slight variation Reset settings Select 05:Vibrato and play with the settings, both knobs, enjoy the fun sounds, but leave the knobs all the way to the left at the end (no vibrato) Select 07: Port./Mod. for the knob setting Now dial knob 2 all the way to the right My keyboard plays about 1/4 step sharp. What's up with that? What does the "Modulation Depth" setting do? It seems to be related to vibrato, but I thought I turned that all the way off. Now, for bonus points,... I thought I could reset this by selecting another tone and then returning to tone 1 No, Grand Piano Bright definitely has a lot of vibrato on it. So does the concert grand (tone 001) Let's try this same experiment with the vibrato settings for the knobs: Select 05:Vibrato, play with both knobs, leave them all the way to the right, making funny sounds when you play (or, at least when you sustain some notes). Now select piano sound 002 and the vibrato shuts off Go back to piano sound 001, it's still shut off ...until you pay with the knobs again. So it seems to me, sitting here, composing this forum post, and playing this all over again, that the "Vibrato" knob settings are specific to the tone selected, while the "Modulation Depth" knob effect is applied independent of the instrument selected, but is somehow related to the vibrato speed or depth setting specific to the tone. This is weird. Can anybody explain to me what's going on? Or, back to my original question (and I'm going to follow up in a separate post with a pair of similar questions)... What is the "Modulation Depth" supposed to do anyway'? What should I expect of it? Now... if you've read this far, you deserve a treat. If you share your house with a son, daughter, spouse, roommate, frequent guest, etc... who likes to (and is encouraged to) play your s3000, then dial the portamento knob all the way to the left, and then back all the way to the right, and leave the keyboard on for the next time that other person sits down to play. I did that to my son, and neither one of us could stop laughing.

Okay. This is my last new question for tonight... I promise. I would like to play "Lights" by Journey with the cover band I have joined, once coronageddon is all over. I would like to surprise them with the new keyboard and show off how well I can play some of their favorite tunes. I've got the piano part down (well... mostly,... but practice will make perfect). But when I listen to the tune on Spotify, I hear a high pitched organ sound starting in verse 2. I wonder if anybody can help me figure out how to get something reasonably close to that sound on my s3000. Thanks. --wpd

Hello, music lovers out there! I have been a lazy keyboard hobbyist for 15 years using PX-400R. Bought a nice new PX-S3000 last week, and here's my recording. Really satisfied with the sound and feel. Thank you in advance and please feel free to comment! Youtube [PIC01]KimKwangMin-GoodbyeAgain.mp3

Is it technically possible to implement bluetooth midi via a firmware update? And maybe even Midi 2.0? such a great update could also be paid for in my opinion. Greetings from Germany.

I really enjoy using the built-in sounds on my PX-S3000, but there are times when I want to use it as a MIDI controller too. I'd like to have the flexibility to play only built-in sounds, only external sounds (VSTs), or a combination of the two. I thought about maybe saving some registrations with different MIDI setups so I can quickly change. Are the MIDI settings on the keyboard global or can different MIDI setups be saved with each registration? Also, is there any way to turn off MIDI out on the keyboard? Thanks.

Another great demo on the PX-S3000. Particularly impressed with the quick and repetitive note response from the keyboard.

I haven't seen any PX-S3000 files to download yet. The factory sounds are excellent, but it would be great if we could start building up some creative content to share.
