How is key response on this keyboard? If you play the same note consecutively do you get consistant sound each time?

well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an answer in 30 days.so i would not buy this again.hope that helps well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an... » Read More well, i have to say i was pretty hot for this keyboard but now, 1 year later, i am not. the entire lower register is out of tune with itself (the black keys are about 1/5th of a semitone sharp, all they up to about middle A). i brought it to the only casio repair place in new york city, and they told me they had no calibration settings in the keyboard, and that i was stuck with the fault.Casio was not helpful. they told me if i wanted to box up the unit and send it to the factory (i would pay the fifty dollars shipping of course) they would 'investigate' and i woluld have an answer in 30 days.so i would not buy this again.hope that helps « Show Less

Hi Rachel... it's touch sensitive so the repetitions depend on striking with the same pressure each time. For the money, I've been really happy with this practice piano. Hope this answers your question. Ron

Yes. I Play Advanced Music And The Keyboard Does Well. I Am Very Happy With It.

Hello Shed,I dont use many of the function on this keyboard other than straight piano and some organ voices. I use a Boss RC3 Guitar pedal to record layers as I am primarily a guitar player. On that, Im not having any problems whatsoever.

No. The keyboard has a volume control. The keys make the same sound no matter the touch pressure.

Hello Paul. I was requested to provide you with an answer; however, actually I haven't yet used the software. Also, I do not input music using keyboards, but rather directly through the sequencer "step mode". Apologies for not being able to help, but I had to at least respond to the request. Good luck anyway.

Yes, you can play more than 4 notes at a time. BUT, this is a cheap product. You will not get the sound that quality keyboards give.

Maybe there are less expensive higher-function keyboards out there, but I have not found them. I used my first digital keyboard (61 keys) for 15 years.... the only reason I moved up earlier last year was to get a 77-key model. As I recall, most sounds and ryhthms were the same. The biggest change was a shift from a MIDI interface to a USB. I think this model is good for another dozen years.

Although my keyboard worked perfect from the start,sounds like yours is defective. I would return it if i were you. Sorry you had a bad experience.

No... not in the true sense of the word where pressing lightly yields a quite ("pianismo", if you will!) tone and striking the key gives a louder tone. However, they do offer sustain such that the note will be sustained while you hold down the key. Some sampled sounds even change the longer you hold the key... but, that is more information than you asked for! Good luck with your decision.

I use mine as a secondary controller hooked to a Fantom G6 so I have more space to split up the keys during performances, for a midi controller it's awesome, and keys have a consistent feel with the Fantom. Pete's right, though, it has no sound by itself, it has to be connected to some sort of MIDI device to be useful.

Yes all keys work & I'm not home right now to test it yet I do believe they can be played simultaneously. It legitimately sounds like a real piano/keyboard.

It sounds as if it has failed. It is just a standard keyboard. Mine was a gift so I don't actually use it. The person I gave it to loves it.

Yes you can play multiple keys. Good looking keyboard and not "child - like". Suggest purchase interactive dvd for instruction manual if are beginner.

I have had my keyboard since the day it was released on amazon. So probably over a year and have yet to have any malfunctioning with it? Maybe shoot their customer service an email and see what they say.

Sorry for not responding sooner. YES! The keys ARE wiggly. However, that was a selling point for me. I'm a nervous kind that finds moving the keys back and forth a pleasant habit while considering my next step. Silly? YEP!

Hi W. Henderson. I believe the pedal is meant to work as one in a real piano would, and sustaining a note for that long is not possible as far as a I know. In my electronic keyboard (Casio CTK-3000) there were some tones that could be sustained for as long as I wanted but, again, it is not a feature of the pedal itself. On another note, I found this pedal to work great with my piano. I highly recommend the pedal.

I had this keyboard for a week and it has ghosting problems. Example, you can't press shift + x + arrow keys at the same time. Searching online for "microsoft sidewinder x6 ghosting" you'll find a bunch of articles about this and issues with other key combinations.

Yes, the space bar is a little louder than other keys. It doesn't bother me though - I rather like the difference in sound as it confirms i have entered a space when i intend to. Interestingly, I was actually unaware of the difference until you brought it to my attention!
