Jokeyman123 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Look through all our posts about the PX560-there is a huge bunch of info-my posts have a few-this is so easy to work with-I'm sure within a few minutes you will know many of the functions-its the easiest piano/workstation (I know its not a workstation but I feel like it is to me, and I have several "workstations" to compare) and it is not so overly lightweight that it will easily fall off your stand-I don't keep mine attached and it is certainly stable enough., and I like to hit pretty hard for piano and organ playing. There really is nothing to set up-except adding a sustain pedal or the 3-pedal Casio unit-this takes an expression pedal if you need to use one-and is programmable for advanced functions you might want to use. You might have to experiment around with different headphones to see which sounds best for this if you intend to do much work with headphones-although I have AKG professional monitoring headsets which sound very neutral or flat-and have a few others-there can be quite a bit of variation in how headphones respond to a digital piano including this one. I have an inexpensive bunch of Superlux and Samson headphones, (very similar to each other) and these sound wonderful with the PX560 other than that-just play around with it-there isn''t much you can do to mess it up, as long as you use the Casio power supply. I also made a small protective cover for the touchscreen-to prevent dropping something on it when not playing. It doesn't seem to be to easy to break-but just in case. And whatever you can't find in the manual-you will find right here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsquare Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) Congratulations on your new PX560! I really enjoy mine which I've had for 4 years and it never disappoints. Not sure if a gravity fit without the wing nuts attached is substantial enough to secure the keyboard on the furniture stand. Be careful. The furniture stand, being particle board isn't meant to be as convenient for quick mounting/unmounting as a metal scissor type keyboard stand would be. Also, be make sure to unplug the pedal input on the underside of the keyboard from the pedal board SP-33 when moving. Be sure to attach the metal support/stiffener bar that runs the length of the keyboard along the bottom front as instructed. The bar is necessary regardless of the type of stand. I would first update the firmware ASAP if your unit doesn't have latest V1.16 https://support.casio.com/en/support/download.php?cid=008&pid=2630. Check your firmware version in the settings menu (page 2) Information area. The update is NOT necessarily functional critical, but easier to do before you start customizing other settings. If you're used to Yamaha type strings that pedal fade you'll need to to this: https://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/14068-strings-pedal-fade-like-yamaha-keyboards/&tab=comments#comment-41915 I turned Auto Power Off in the settings menu to "on" to prevent the keyboard from automatically turning off to save power (annoying). Page EN-8 in the manual. Set Auto Resume to "off". This will allow the keyboard to save any custom settings at power up from the default. Page EN-75 Make sure your USB thumb drive (if you use one) has the folder "MUSICDAT". Page EN-84 Hope this helps you and have Fun!

dark1409 Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 and yeah gravity seems enough to keep the piano in check and about that metal stiffener is it like really necessary because i havent installed it yet , as i probably wont be able to use the metal stand with it being on i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
