    Hello Everyone,

    I own a Casio CTK-601 and I am having a problem with it currently. It seems that sometimes when i press certain individual keys down, the keyboard electronically registers it as i'm pressing all of the keys down around it. It even says that i'm pressing them down on the display thing. obviously this is not good because i can be playing a song and then all of a sudden a loud blare comes out becasue it things i'm pressing down like 4 keys at a time all next to each other.

    Im not sure if it is an electrical problem or if there is a setting on the keyboard that is making it do that or what. i'm relaly confused

    any help woudl be appreciated
    Thank You!

    If the keyboard thinks you are pressing down 4 keys when you're only pressing down 1 key, then something's terribly wrong with the keyboard. And there's probably no easy solution besides getting it repaired.

    However, getting it repaired would be kind of pointless if the repair is going to cost as much as the keyboard itself. You might wanna contact a local keyboard dealer and check how much he's taking for a repair like this.

    Seriously, man, I only have several months experience with the keys, but I can tell you that a Casio is junk.

    when you press a key down it makes contact with a pad or a strip in the keybed that electronically tells the processer which key to sound....if that contact strip or pad has a piece of debris or "junk" across that pad then it will sound more than one key....so to me, it sounds like something is under there that shouldnt be there......thats about the best i can do for ya

    If your good with electronics, open your keyboard. Check to see if there is a short wiring in any of the keys. Figure out what key makes it do that when it actually happens.

    Where did you get your keyboard?
    How old is it?


    Casio is actually one of the best keyboard companies along with Roland and Yamaha. There is nothing wrong with Casio, its probably the condition it is being treated or the age of the keyboard.
