Andre Lever Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hello! I have a problem with a piano sound I created for my PX5. You can find it here: http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/files/file/1161-steinway-d-with-different-eq-settings/ I get a lot distortion since yesterday, I also tried another monitor! Still there.. Maybe its too loud for my monitors? Must be inside the unit, because It does not matter in which position the the master volume knob ist... Can you help me? Thanks and greetings, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 It's possible to overdrive the sounds internally. Check your chain of levels starting with tone volume level then zone level, master EQ input output levels and master compressor. I'm guessing it's master EQ input or output or both.

jimmyjames Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Having similar issues. What levels do you generally set input for master compressor and input/output for master EQ? Also, I thought these were fixed regardless of Stage Setting but it appears they are not, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Stage settings have a number of freezable parameters located under system settings>stage setting filters. If a filter is on, it freezes the settings. Factory default freezes the master compressor settings. Everything else is free to change as stage settings change, including master EQ. To reset master compressor and EQ to default, go through each setting and press both +- buttons at the same time. That will probably fix the distortion.

jimmyjames Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thanks Brad...I'm guessing a Stage Setting I imported probably had the filter off and I unwittingly proliferated the problem by using that Stage Setting to build others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyjames Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I tried the +- thing...nothing changed. Also, I see I have compressor filter on but nothing else...just like the factory default. I guess it's the EQ causing the distortion problem. That said, is there another was to restore factory defaults for compressor and EQ if the +- isn't working? Would just like to know what the default settings are so I can start fresh...thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Just to double check and be clear, -/NO and +/YES buttons, above the audio recorder button, pressed together resets defaults on any parameter. You have to go the each setting individually to do it. If the number doesn't change, it's already set to default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyjames Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 OK Brad, that worked thanks! I now froze the master EQ settings too. Now I need to figure the rest of my system out. I'm in a new band and purchased a SpaceStation so I'm trying to get back up to speed on programming settings for the songs (much less learn parts) and I'm getting frustrated with the relative levels between and within settings and then the tone I'm getting out of the SpaceStation….and of course this distortion issue which has three possible sources as I have a mixer in between the PX 5S and the SpaceStation to allow my NE4 and guitar to run into the SSV3 too. I know the SSV3 is better with a hot input so I've been trying to push the signal a bit....guess the mixer is the best place to do that. I think I'm getting to old for all these moving parts....
