Does the Casio LK-30 keyboard have sustain capability? It says phones/output in the back. Is there a way to get a sustain pedal to work on this model keyboard?

This Digital Keyboard does not come with a pedal unit. • You can use the PEDAL1 jack to connect an optional (SP-3, SP-20) sustain pedal. You can use the.
I'm pretty sure that the Lowrey was a rebadged Casio keyboard with the same model number. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/358460/Casio-Lk-30.html You could also take a look at some of the other manuals here https://www.casio-intl.com/asia/en/emi/pastmodels/
You can't add songs to the LK-30 song bank. I suspect you would need to take apart the keyboard and replace the ROM (read-only memory) chip to get a different song collection.
They are all compatible. Make sure the port on the keyboard is the same size as the plug on the pedal, usually a phono plug. Also make sure it is a sustain pedal and not an "on off " switch.
Buy sustain pedal made for CASIO or switable model.
Pedal for Yamaha or Roland will work in reverse on a Casio.
If you cannot return for exchange, then open up and solder a different type of micro switch.
Yep!!! Happens all the time and only a few synths have the option of selecting the operating mode.
NOW if you can open the pedal, USUALLY the switch has both the Normally Open and Normally Closed functions that a single wire can be moved to reverse the operation.
USUALLY you will need a soldering iron to make the change.
Not if its like mine, its a completecircuit vs.incomplete circuit problems.
I had the exact same problem with my Casio keyboard and a Yamaha sustain pedal I bought.
I'm not an electrical genius, but I was able to get it to work by opening it up and doing a little modification. Of course I first just tried switching the white wire with the black one but that didn't change anything at all when I tried it. It turns out the Casio wants the circuit completed to sustain, and broken for no sustain, which is the opposite of what the Yamaha pedal does.
I opened it up and mine had three three flat metal strips let's call them Top, Middle and Bottom. The Middle and Bottom ones were joined together on the right side, and the Middle and Top ones were touching on the left side when the pedal was not pressed. These seperated when the pedal was pressed, thereby breaking the circuit because the wires were on the top plate and on the joined Middle/Bottom plate.
So to flip it I: 1. Unsoldered the Bottom wire 2. Cut apart the Bottom and Middle plates on the right. 3. Bent the Middle plate on the right to touch the Top plate instead and soldered those together. 4. Soldered the Bottom wire back on.
That's it! Once I figured it out, it took only a few minutes to fix.
Good luck!
