Tsquare Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) I'm using a old Surface 3 Windows (10) to display PDF sheet music and use 2 of the pedals on the SP-33 pedal unit to page up & down as I'm playing. I'm using free program called MidiKey2Key https://midikey2key.de/download.php to receive CC midi info from the PX560 and turn those into PC commands. In my case, page up (sustenuto), page down (una corda), and full screen (note C9). I didn't want to buy the expensive PageFlip Butterfly unit, nor did I want extra clutter at my feet. This solution works very well. https://youtu.be/CcyU8aUKBWU Edited June 15, 2023 by Tsquare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Very nice! I wonder if you could try something else to go full screen, another button which doesn't cause any sound, like Tempo Up (I have no experience with MIDI signaling). Are you using the left pedal to go right just because it's easier to press and that's the most common page movement? Because of course it would make sense to use left pedal for left and right (middle) for right. 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsquare Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 The only controls that I have found on top of the PX560 that send CC midi messages (with Midikey2key "listening" and "logging" the results) are the (3) assignable knobs, pitch & modulation wheels. All the other buttons are proprietary to Casio. My best choice (i.e. least used while playing) for full screen was C9. The note playing C9 sound isn't an issue since I go to full screen before I start playing the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 And I wonder... isn't maybe just as simple to directly touch the tablet's screen to go full screen? 😅 If you are playing in front of an audience you would need to mute the keyboard if you use C9 instead. AFAIK Acrobat Reader by default doesn't have the full screen button on its toolbar, but you can add and remove buttons as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
