I realize this is not the 'right' forum for this, but having posted on the Pa900 forum with 50+ views and no responses, I NEED HELP !!! The drum kits in certain styles on my KORG Pa900 are making a terrible distortion sound ... I think it is coming from a cymbal ... The attached file is a recording of a Rock style that uses both a 'Standard' drum kit and a 'Percussion' kit ... If you listen, you will hear the distortion in the beginning and then at about 18 seconds in I muted the Percussion kit and the distortion disappears ... later, when I 'unmute' the Percussion, the distortion returns. The problem is not confined to Percussion kits, as it happens when a style is using only a 'standard' kit ... Also, it doesn't happen with every style, so it must have something to do with the 'pieces' i.e. snare, hi hat, crash cymbal, etc. that make up the kit used in the style. I've also tried changing global EQs with no success, and it does not have anything to do with the volume on the KB. I am hoping someone on this board can help me out. I have never 'dug into' the kits, and would not even know where to start. Thank you in advance.

I subsequently noticed that the distortion occurred in the "Zydeco" style, but it was emanating from the 'Fiddle' voice, not the drums. Could it be a certain 'audio frequency' (not sure if that's correct) causing the problem?

A couple of folks have recommended performing a Factory reset. Being a gigging musician, I have 'modified' countless Factory and third party styles for particular songs which are located in both the Factory and User locations, as well as several SMFs. Thinking of performing a Factory reset makes me fearful that I will lose some/most/all (?) of my personalized work.

Any viable suggestions will be most appreciated.

Thank You,
tony

you might know this alreadly..
watch this video and you will see how to change drums map..
play the style with the distortion and change the drum map and you might fine witch sound it is ...

unlock protection and do a full back... then do a BKP backup

this should put your keyboard back the way it was before a factory restore...
