On organ mode, in general, almost all brands of the modern keyboard, velocity setting is not enabled. Setting velocity is used to determine how much the level of the sound that follows how strongly you press the keys. It is really just to imitate the sound of vintage organs, which in the past, electronic organ technologi not use the velocity on the keys. So, how strong / slow we press the keys, the sound level will remain the same.
At the Piano mode,modern keyboard using setting velocity. This also to imitate an acoustic piano, which, if we press the keys slowly, the sound level will be slow as well, and vice versa.
So, in your case,at the same volume slider, try to play on the organ modes, note level. Moving to the piano mode and press the keys securely powered (full power). Then the sound level should be equal to the organ mode.
On modern keyboards, also included organ sound that added velocity setting. Usually found on the user bank.

SOURCE: Adjust modulation speed.

I dont believe there is any way to change the speed. It would NOT really sound like a Leslie anyway as a simple tremelo has no spatial movement, only amplitude change.

SOURCE: Yamaha PSR S900 keyboard failure, in touch

That is NOT touch response, but velocity sensing. Each key has two contacts and one closes before the other to facilitate measuring the key velocity. In your case, it sounds like the key you are holding down has a bad disconnect diode in the key matrix and is holding the "first contact" signal true so the next key senses max closure speed. If you are not electronically adept, you need to take it in for servicing... however first tip the thing and vibrate it as some contamination MAY be shorting a line in the key matrix. Staples and paper clips are notorious problems with keyboards when they get into the key area.

Testimonial: "Thanks, I'll try shaking the keyboard as this suggestion is more consistent with the symptoms...the failure is not permanent. It come and goes. Thanks"

SOURCE: Is there a Yamaha school

Yamaha prefers to MAKE the instruments rather than conducting repair schools... they may have some very specialized schools for individual types when first introduced. With the situation in Japan right now such classes would be cancelled I am sure. Instrument repair is so specialized other than basic piano repair/tuning that you will find few if any courses. For piano repair you might want to search YouTube for videos. For organs and keyboards, detailed electronic knowledge and the service manuals are what we have to work with. You need both experience in digital and analog plus test equipment including oscilloscopes and signal generators as a start.

SOURCE: volume on the piano is

Pianos do NOT respond to keys pressed hard... they respond to FAST presses. If you have an issue with the piano, first go on record to activate your warranty. Most of these electronics DO have a setting that adjusts the "feel" which affects the loudness versus key velocity... Now here is a secret??? Shh... The manufacturers turn up the demos just like the advertisers turn up the commercials on the TV... I would suggest looking for the adjustment of feel, and if that doesn't get satisfactory results, find another and compare yours to another... if yours is still underperforming, exercise your warranty for repair or replacement.

SOURCE: My Privia PX-3 will run

This problem is NOT DIY and will likely require a trip to the repair shop... One possibility is a static discharge... Try running it for hours with no clothes on that can produce a static buildup and see if it behaves. If so, take maeasures against static... no rubber soled shoes, no wool fabrics, gound yourself to something else before touching the unit...

Hi I have a Yamaha electrone el 15, there is no sound from the 2 keyboards but the percussion sounds all play and can get drum sounds on the bottom keyboard but no sounds when the organ is selected,

There could be a few reasons why your Yamaha Electone EL-15 isn't producing sound when the organ setting is selected. Here are a few things to check:
  1. Make sure the volume is turned up on the keyboard itself and on any external amplifiers or speakers you may be using.
  2. Check the connections between the keyboard and any external amplifiers or speakers. Make sure the cables are plugged in securely at both ends.
  3. Make sure the keyboard is in "organ" mode and not in "silent" or "play along" mode.
  4. Check the keyboard settings to ensure that the organ sounds are enabled.
  5. If you are using the keyboard with a computer, make sure the MIDI settings are correct and that the keyboard is being recognized by the computer.
  6. If you have tried all of the above and the keyboard still isn't producing sound, it is possible that there is an issue with the internal sound system. In this case, you may need to have the keyboard serviced by a professional technician.

I believe organ hasn't been played or even turned on in over 10 years. The top keyboard plays if I turn on a setting such as piano or trumpet however I can't just get the organ keys to play.

Since the organ has not been used for a long time, I suspect that there can be degradation of the electronics, specially with electrolytic capacitors. hence I request you to switch on the Organ continuously and allow it to warm up, it there is improvement , then it will be worth to remove the bottom panel and clean up the boards,dry the PCB with a hair dryer and reconnect the boards.
Hope this will help.

How do i adjust the drum rhythm volume so it is louder than the tone settings

You ay have to edit a rhythm and save it as a "user defined rhythm". During editing the volume of each part can be defined with vol. level ranging from 0-127.

Please read the manual.
Metronome volume can be easily changed by just holding the metronome button.

Volume keyboard

Go into function and look for the volume setting for your main voice - could be R1. This will give a numeric value of 127 or less. It sounds like you need to increase it, try 100 as that is usually sufficient.

Yamaha 88 key piano grand plays wrong pitches w/ changing volume

If it has a sequencer/ recorder built in, you have the ability to change the pitch/ detune by using some key strokes after initiating the program mode. If your not sure how to do that, try unplugging the keyboard for thirty seconds and push the power button while it's unplugged, then plug it back in. Any better? What model is it.
