Strange sounds or noises are heard when
playing with piano sounds.

The CA15 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety
of tones created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as
possible. This includes damper resonances and other subtle
eff ects that contribute to the overall piano playing experience.
While these additional eff ects are intended to enhance the realism
of the instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or
disable them altogether using the sound settings.

The pedals are unreliable or do not
function at all.

Check that the pedal cable is fi

instrument.

When depressing a pedal, the pedal

The top 18 notes of the keyboard sustain
for longer than neighbouring notes, even

This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the
undamped notes (typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic
grand piano.
