JFoshee Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I just bought the PX-5S this weekend and have been watching videos and messing with all of the features to try and learn all the tricks. Anyway, I was playing last night and the pedal worked correct. ie..pedal not pushed down, no sustain. Pedal pushed down, sustain. I turn it back on tonight and it is right opposite, the paino has sustain all the time and stopped when I pressed the pedal. It was not only on the paino setting either, I switched to the organ and it was the same on it. I thought it was something in the "system" setting so I started looking and changing some things. Only now I have no sustain pedal pushed or not.I have downloaded the "tutorial" manual from the website and it does make the drilling down through the menu easier, but I've only made my problm worse. I know there is a way to do a system reset, but I'd rather not since I have already edited some stage settings and tones to my likeing. Any ideas??Very frustrated :angry: . Been trying to get it right for over an hour now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFoshee Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 FInally gave up and did a system reset. Work like it should now. Any ideas what went wrong in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Choppin Posted December 4, 2014 Solution Share Posted December 4, 2014 On boot up, the PX detects the pedal's polarity automatically to allow the use of different types of sustain pedals. If you pressed it while it was booting, it may read it reversed. Best not to touch anything while the machine boots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFoshee Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Could have likely been the problem. Just came in from work and still have my heavy steel toed boots on. Could easily have had it compressed. I'm glad you posted. That's good to know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddley Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Thanks Choppin for the info. I would have been looking in all the settings if I hand't found this post. I plugged a Yamaha pedal as a second pedal (not as a damper, but as a controller) and it was inverting (I have configured a stage setting so that the pedal2 activates zone 2, and this was happening when not depressing the pedal, and not happening when I was depressing the pedal). I rebooted the piano with the pedal plugged in, and all worked well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
