After the detuning problem, a new problem has now cropped up on my PA5X-88 ... the F#3 velocity sensor is now borked ... so it only plays at full velocity value (Fortissimo for piano or anything else for that matter).

I've had the PA5X for a year, and I'm really starting to get annoyed with the various issues that I've been encountering now...


- detuninig (probably the pitchbend potentiometers borked)
- F#3 velocity broken
- Setting MIDI clock to External sometimes causes the keyboard to get stuck in an infinite loop and need to reboot it.


Sorry, but I'm starting to get really frustrated... and I cannot afford to have it sent away for repairs for weeks on end since it is central to my income...

I Feel your pain friend....I had a PA5X-76 from new for the last 16months but got the dreaded black spots on the buttons....Raging is an understatement....
After reading on hear about how some have had it fixed but unfortunately the problem has returned i decided to Trade in for a Genos 2....
Korg wont care they've had my money and i've lost a fair bit in trade in but i've certainly learnt a lesson....My first and last ever Korg....
Whats more annoying is i loved the PA5X....I miss it already but i suffer from Ocd and i wouldn't and couldn't cope with ugly black spots on the buttons....
But i have no faith that the button issue will ever be fixed....
Hope you get yours sorted/fixed.....

I have the black spots on some of the buttons, but it's not too much of a distraction for me since a lot of the time I'm in the sound edit mode to do individual instruments rather than arranger mode with KSets (though I do use Keyboard sets for several things, especially for layered sounds).
For me the black spots in the button LEDs are just a very minor issue... the de-tuning from the bend/articulation potentiometers and now the 3rd F# key losing its velocity sensor is a ROYAL pain for me though.

I've contacted the vendor to see if/how I can get a field-repair done (if possible)...

And what about the USA and all the other countries? I would like mine fixed also.
