M3 73 key vibration

Post by chain_recurrent »

While I really like the feel of the M3 73 keyboard, I'm annoyed with a noticeable vibration coming from the left end of the keyboard after I let up on a key. It affects the keys below middle C more than above. Has anyone else noticed such an issue?

Hey,
I have never heard of anything like this!
Quite bizzarre but I would definitely give Korg a call and let them know whats up. Maybe like a loose cable or something.


good luck! :wink:

on M3 73, be sure that right and left panels are correctly fixed, if they move, they can cause some vibrations...

Also, be sure that the module is tightly secured.

+1 on that.

I have the M3-61 and suddenly got a nasty vibration exactly as you described. Turned out to be the thumb screw that holds the bracket to the module at the back when the module is in the raised position that I hadn't tightened up enough.
