Can I get any more opinions on how to switch from registration to tone without a lot of key steps or recycling power? There seems to be a carry over of information when switching back to tone. I.E. a split or rhythm may be present when going back to basic 12 tone setup.
Any more help?
thanks for your help.

If it doesn't go back to default setting[/b] (i.e. 12 panel tones, with no split/layer/rhythm and tone selection is on "Modern Piano" mode), you can try this:

1) Adjust all the needed individual settings back to default after you've played through your registration memory banks...and by going back to default I mean...

> remove the split-mode
> turn off the rhythm
> remove the layer
> press the "Modern Grand" button
> THEN SAVE TO any one of the 96 registration memory banks[/b] (remember where you store it as this will then be your "Back-to-default-mode" registration memory bank)
> every after you finish using your registration memory banks you would always go back to this specific registration memory wherein you stored the "default mode settings"

2) Alternatively, upon turning on (i.e. booting up) the PX-320, while its still on default mode...

> try storing, say, in Bank 1 Area 1 (i.e. 1-1) this default setup so that Bank 1-1 would then become your "fail-safe button" to go back quickly to the default settings/Tone-mode of the PX-320 every after using a registration memory setup.

The aforementioned are just suggestions or "work-arounds"...its worth a try.

Also, I'd suggest e-mailing Casio Tech Support to report this issue so that if there is indeed a better way to shift back to Tone mode from registration memory setup and it wasn't mentioned at all in the manual, it can be addressed accordingly.

Hope this helps.

That is what I thought may be the only solution.
Your previous posts had encouraged me to look at the privia seriously, so it was good to get this post. It seems to be a shortcoming of the electronics but the work around is very practical. I will email casio and post any useful reply.
thanks again

This is the response I recieved from Casio on the registration to tone switching carryover of information problem.
Thank you for contacting CASIO AMERICA. Actually the simple fat that it is not covered leads me to believe you are correct, the break should be clean, there should be no carry over. Try the initialization mentioned in the beginning of the manual page E-5.
That is power on with function and rhythm keys held down...
I will try that and post later.

Well, that didn't work at least on that store model. I am a little disenchanted. I have replied to casio again but no reply yet. I'm out to find another px-320 to play with.
