Micro-X sounds like crap HELP

Post by Drghb »

Im not dissing the machine first off, just thought that might bring a little much needed attention, seeing as my micro-X does, at the moment, actually sound like crap

for some reason 99% of the programs sound like they are blaring out of a radio from the 1950's

it just sounds like bit overdrive mixed with a HPF

I really need help, because I have no clue what to do

thanx in advanced

Try a factory reset (press the Utility button in Global mode). If that doesn't help, I hope you still have warranty..

what are you listening through?
have you tried turning the output down really low?

if its a hardware problem its probably a resistor gone open-curcuit in the preamp stage. korg or a qualified technician can fix this.

yeah, it sounds like crap up until the volume is off
that on headphones and all amps
I know its something f***ed up

at first I (and the people at the shop) thought a few of the patches worked
but if you just raise the cutoff it fucks up real quick
its something about the high frequencies not being right idk

but Im going to take it into the shop like next week
its till under extended warranty
power supply is just fine
and a program reset did nothing
