PeterF Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Have had my PX 560 for a couple of weeks now. Am trying to configure it to switch Upper 2 on when I press the assignable expression pedal. I plugged the pedal that came with the Casio into the assignable pedal socket. Calibrated it. Then set it to control Upper 2 on/off. Default seems to be on and I have to press the pedal to turn off Upper 2. I found a work around which is to tell the instrument that it has a foot switch attached rather than an expression pedal. Then works fine. I tried setting the pedal to expression pedal and the target as expression but same problem. What I want is to have the piano on Upper 1 and then to bring Upper 2 in with the expression pedal. I have set the Mod wheel to Upper 2 volume and that works a treat. Am I doing something wrong?

Brad Saucier Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm a little confused. Are you using foot switch or expression pedal? The pedal that comes with the board is a foot switch. The assignment should be set to foot switch for that pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Many thanks for the reply BradMZ. Had not realised that the pedal that came with the Casio was a foot swtich. My working backwards problem came from me holding the footswitch down before pressing the registration button which brought in the upper 1 piano and upper 2 strings. If i press the registration button first all works the right way round i.e footswitch down string on with piano, footswitch up piano only. Have also set the modulation wheel to upper 2 volume but have noticed that when I switch to the registration that has both voices active it does not read the modulation setting until I move the wheel. Have experimented with the Max and Min settings to make sure that the volume on switch over is reasonable , and then can adjust with the mod wheel if necessary.
