I bought this, and now the power key and all the piano keys work, but none of the sound selection keys work. Does anyone know this issue?

I haven't experienced this issue but I'm sure I will at some point. My issue is with a buzzing sound when pressing two keys down at the same time. Casio doesn't have a repair shop close to my house, the nearest one was an hour away so I didn't repair it. Good luck!

The midi will work upon connection of USB If you want to use the knobs, buttons, etc (highly recommended start stop, record from the keyboard) with logic X though you need to install direct link from the M Audio download page and then install in Logic via preferences/controller surfaces/setup. If the knobs still don't work go into package content (right click logic prog.) and insert the two axiom bundles into the midi device plug in folder (Mac), or check the forums to get it running. Mine works great now with the bundles in the right place. (This step needs to be done with each new update. Takes minutes. Great keyboard

It won't do anything. It needs some sort of program running to make noise. MIDI controllers like this are just buttons in the shape of a keyboard that tell your computer what to do. There are some free plugins/programs you could can use for piano sounds or synths. I use Alicia's Key's by Native Instruments, but that costs money (but it's worth it imo). You can use a laptop or even a tablet with the right adapters if you have those. In short, the keyboard itself doesn't make any noise without other software.

i am not the seller, but have owned this keyboard in the past. I also lost the use of at least one key and would suggest that you make sure the seller does test and guarantee that all keys are functional.

It is awesome. Just hit the grand piano button and it sounds just like the best piano. I love mine.

Craig-did they solve your issue? My case arrived yesterday and the function key isn't working, wondering if I should scrap it and find a different brand/manufacturer.

Did you eventually find a good solution for your application? I'm hoping to do essentially the same thing, except I had planned to use the headphone outputs of both the piano and laptop. I would be grateful to know if you got this to work, and any details you might be willing to share about the hookup. Thanks.

Yes, I had the same issue, as well as some keys not working at all. I think this is a lousy keyboard despite all the great reviews. As writer for more years to remember, I know a crappy keyboard when I use one.

Chris - I think my last response got lost or cut short(my mistake). I'll try again. The short answer to this is no. I ran through all the presets and even some tweaks I use and cannot find any standard piano sounds. There are a couple/few organ sounds you can work with. If you want standard piano sounds, you can buy a MUCH cheaper keyboard/MIDI controller for that purpose. All that being said, this is probably the best musical instrument purchase I've ever made. I'm not really a trained musician, but the sounds I can create with this micorKorg are amazing. I hope some of this helps. MK_from_PA

periwinkles:I may be mistaken, but I believe the previous post you referred to was speaking of a piano keyboard being drawn, not a QWERTY keyboard. I have the pen, and think the piano is more of a demo/gimmick than anything useful. Sorry.

There are 4 switch positions: Off...Learning Time....Music Time...Let's Play. Piano keys, when pressed on Learning Time, count up to 8. My 4 key gets stuck sometimes but still works. If yours is not counting past 3 and is just not getting stuck on that number; it could be defective.

I know you said you checked everything, but is there signal coming through the headphone jack? If so, you might have just shorted the speaker connection. If not, you have inadvertantly pressed the wrong combination of keys. Check the original paperwork included for the schematic of additional functions executed through the piano keys themselves. There is a mute function & other choices that could have rendered the audible speaker signal off. I sold mine, so I cannot look at it to advise you further. Joel

You'll need to press and hold down the mouthpiece and press each key to get the deluxe sounds. If that does not work, it might be defective.

lol, your better off than me. I lost my key. But it seems to me I had the same problem, and it turned out to be I just had the have the open and close handle in a certain position for the key to work. Play with that sequence and hope it helps.

I have the same problem despite trying several times. The instructions say 4 digit code but it always shows a 6 digit code. I enter the code and it pairs but still the keyboard will not work. Has anyone figured out a solution or is it a defective keyboard?

I don't think I'll be much help. Got it for my husband to annoy me with, lol. We are not really a musical family. I did pull it out of the box though and I couldn't find anything on the box or the didgeridoo about it being tuned to any specific key. I'd think that with it being a natural sound made by the curvature of the instrument and a cheaper version at that... it probably hasn't been tuned for any specific key.

Probably a ground loop. I don't usually have an issue until we plug in the keyboard to a PA and the midi input at the same time. Then I get a noise. Fix plug the keys into the midi port only.
