Hello, I'm new to this forum, but not completly new to the px-5s, which I bought in may this year. So I'm using it for 5 month. I use it as replacement for a piano, so nearly all my use is Grand Piano. Just from the begin I have the problem, that the output is not loud enough. It takes some time to realize, that setting - Master setting compression level to 100 would change the situation, but I found it. Ouput level is set to 127. For use with my Shure SRH440 Headphone ( 44 ohms ) this works well. For use with my Kurzweil KS40 Speakers ( 20k ohms input impedance ) this works not quite well. They are still not loud enough. To check weather it is a issue of the px-5s or the speakers, I recorded a wave file to USB, checked it on my notebook and detected, that it was recorded with a extreme low volume level. So I normalized the WAV and replayed it on the PX-5s. Wowh !!! I'd never thought, that the small Boxes have such a sound !!! But whats that ? The PX-5S runs extremly into clipping. Ok. I copied the normalized file to my mp3-player and tested the boxes directly without the px-5s. Sound was good and loud and without any clipping. Now I searched this forum and found the updated File from user Xagerado, which is a real improvement. Piano sound much louder even if the compression level is at 053. At least my questions are: What did he that it works in this way ? Is there a tool where I can compare Stage / Tone settings to see directly what he has optimized ? Is it just a singular setting which I don't found ? Thanks for your help. Bernd

I'm interested in controlling Garageband instrument volume via USB midi from the px5s using either the volume wheel, slider controllers or pedal inputs. I've looked in the documentation but can't find how to set the midi cc# or any other info regarding controlling instrument parameters. Is this possible? If so, I'd be interested in learning how to do this. Thanks

Hi - My PX-5S just arrived today but I have a problem with the audio level from the lineouts. I've done a quick search of this forum - my apologies if this question has already been answered. Going from the line out to my powered speaker (Yamaha DXR12) I get no usable volume whatsover, even with both the piano and the speaker (1100W) on full. I can just hear the absolute faintest of tones coming from the speaker, with my ear pressed right against it. If I then switch the lead to the headphone out, I get plenty of volume at normal volume setting levels. Do I have a problem with the Casio? Do I have to use a mixer just to get a standard lineout level from the PX-5S lineouts? My other keyboards play fine into the powered speaker (Mojo, Nord Electro) at normal level settings. I'm on v1.11 firmware. Thanks in advance Ian UK

Hi everybody! I created tracks with step sequencer as would-be a background. Now I'm trying to play solo "on the fly" with this background. I press TONE to choose different instruments for soloing, and all instruments sound MUCH louder than my background. All my sequencer tracks' volume are at or around 100%. What do I do wrong? How do I achieve balance? It's XW-G1. Thank you for your help!
