Just to let you know I have a Privia PX-120. It will not function properly. I
cannot play more than one note at a time, It will only play the know after a
key is depressed, and it sustains notes as well. I've installed the driver,
rebooted etc. I have Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Any Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, can you tell me which software do you use ? Is it doing this with every
software you tried ?

Thanks for getting back to me. I've been using Garageband and Mainstage
3. The keyboard does exactly the same thing in both programs. I can
only play single notes. No polyphony, and as I mentioned, the notes
sound after the key on the px-120 is depressed. In the Audio Midi
settings, it shows up when I plug it in as "ViewCons" with a generic
listing. I never get the casio driver to show up. I have tried an
Axiom 61, before this, and it worked fine, in GB. The Mainstage I just
downloaded and no joy now on either, unless I like sustained, single
notes. That's all it seems to do with both programs. My machine is an
I5 2.6ghz Macbook pro 17". Thanks for you help. Bueno.

Viewcon is a MIDI - USB adapter manufacturer. Do you also use that kind of
adapter with another piece of equipment, or did in the past ? It looks like the
Viewcon picks up the Casio as one of its own devices. Maybe Casio actually use
one of their devices internally.
I would try removing the Viewcon driver, to see if the my driver correctly
picks up your keyboard. Look into Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers, both in your home
folder and root, and look for anything not called "Casio". It should definitely
show up as a Casio in MIDI settings.

Again, thanks for getting back to me. When I used the Alesis it was used
with a usb cable straight from the keyboard to the laptop. The Privia
Px-120 doesn't have a usb port, hence the viewcon usb/midi. I tried
what you suggested, I made sure that I have no instance of any other
driver in Library. I was only able to check root, since I'm admin on my
mac, I believe the root is my library, if not, I can't seem to get to
it, but I can get to others users libraries, and there are no instances
in there. Just to let you know in Audio Midi, I have a "Network" and an
"IAC" driver listed in there as well. When I shut off the keyboard and
unplug, I remove the viewcon driver from Audio/Midi. When I plug it
back in, it comes right back up as veiwcon. Nothing Casio appears.
Hope this helps. Thanks for all you've done.

I forgot that the PX-120 didn't have a USB port, so my instructions were
actually wrong. However, I now have a better idea of what's going on.
My driver only works for Casio keyboards with USB ports, so it is not meant for
the PX-120. However, it is possible that the driver gets in conflict with the
Viewcon's driver. So, my suggestion would be to do the exact opposite of what I
told you last week (sorry about that): Delete any instance of my driver from
your system, and reinstall the most recent Viewcon one.
You can also look in /Users/[username]/Library/... for MIDI drivers. However,
if you didn't install any over there manually, there should't be any. This
personal folder is useful for people without root access to the system they
use, but need to be able to install MIDI drivers without affecting other users.
Once again, sorry about my mistake last week. If you still experience problems
with your keyboard, I'm afraid I cannot assist you further, as I do not own a
Viewcon device myself.
Good luck,

Thanks for you help. I ended up loading drivers for an M-Audio Uno
usb/midi and that seemed to do the trick. I guess just an fyi incase
someone asks you in the future for a Casio that does not have a usb
port. Everything works now, as long as I don't use the Veiwcon. I
appreciate your time.
