Problem with my R3

zharrison20 · Post by **zharrison20** » Sat Feb 06, 2010 8:11 am

I've head my korg R3 for about a year now and has never given me any problems. But recently my right output has stopped working, so i can only get sound from the left side. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Thank you!

Is it only the line out?
How about the right headphone? Does it work?
Did you test it with another audio input device?

I suppose you have swapped the audio cables to confirm its not a faulty connection.

If done, then it may be a problem with the output jack or line amplifier.
I hope it turns to be a connection problem

My R3 also has the same problem, couldn't get it fixed and the warranty is expired. Seems to be a fairly common problem. Both the R output and headphones' right channel are busted.

i'm pretty sure its a connection problem,
but if it is, how do i fix that?
I'm no where near technical enough to open up my r3

hmm... thats weird.

Since audio input is supposed to go the same paths, this would mean there is an issue with the analog switches that are in charge of that.. but this is very rare (but not impossible). Is there a global setting for the R3 we missed?

Sorry, I do not have an R3 anymore... switched to Radias a few weeks ago so I can't go deeper than this.

If someone changed the assignable pedal to Pan in the global settings, you could get only one channel when no pedal in plugged-in.

Are you using the R3 software editor? If not, that's your first step: install it to view all the relevant settings. I'm assuming you've tried more than one program, so that the Pan value in the Amp section couldn't be set wrong on two different programs.

yeah i have been using the editor software, and ive tried it with every progam on my r3 and it does it on every one. And if it is the analog switches, what could i do to fix that?

What is parameter is the pedal assigned to in the global settings?

In the global settings the pedal is assigned to expression
