Hi all!

I have Kronos 2 88key. I don't know any in-depth of this keyboard. I had this for about a year and I am experiencing a sudden volume increase while playing, almost twice the output. I have tried few piano sections (all factory default), it does same thing. It does it intermittently, so I don't know what to look for. It's connected with 8ch mixer and PA speakers, simple setup.

When this issue occurs, I just change to other patch and comeback to same one and it works normally for awhile and reoccures sometimes...

Anyone has this issue? Thanks.

Three is of course the regular volume control on the upper left but also, on the lower left side of th display there is a slider that acts like a volume in certain modes. It’s possible that slider is inadvertently changing the volume. A test would be to set it low. Then, if the volume inadvertently goes low, it’s the slider.

I'm also having this problem. It just started about 2 months ago & I've had my K73 for 7 years. It's not the vector stick or the volume fader. It happens very intermittently, and it happens with whatever program I'm playing. If I'm playing a combi, it happens there, too. I cannot make it happen; it happens randomly.
Sometimes it doesn't occur for awhile, & I think it's gone... Then...

Update: I realize it's the lowest Db on my K73. Every once in a while it makes a louder-than-normal kinda twangy sound.

my question will seem to you ridiculous but : Is your Kronos connected to an external soundcard with your PC ? And if yes : has you ruled in it any kinfd of compressor ?

Thanks all for your replies. It's not connected to any external sound card or PC, just my mixer and PA speakers. I also have another digital piano connected to this mixer and use same PA speakers and I have no issue there, so I think I can rule out my mixer and PA speakers.

Anyone recommend a factory reset process when hard to figure out what is the root cause? Thanks!

I don't have anything to backup anyways, it's all factory default settings.
