Cannot access programs

[landy856]

Hi

After a long break renovating a house my Karma is out of its box.

But i cannot access the programs only the combinations.

The 'prog' key, and the' F2' key used to access programs from the main window do not work. The F2 key is hardy used so should not be worn.

Could this be a software issue? Its seems odd to me that these are the only keys not to work.
I am running software ver 2 and recently installed the Trance Attack expansion card.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

well it could be some dirt or dust under those buttons that prevents them from working. Also what you should try is to remove the trance attack board and see if the buttons work after that. If so it is most likely just static problem with the expansion board. And if it is a dust/dirt problem you can try to blow air under the buttons... Also you should remove all the pedals and midi cables and try if it works without them connected, because it might be a midi issue.

In addition to the excellent suggestions from Synastikki, it might be worth a clean install of OS 2. As Synastikki says, remove all EXB boards, all cables, do a clean OS 2 install and see if it works.

Good luck
Let us know how you go...

Thanks very much for the prompt replys.
I have tried removing the Trace Attack board but still not working.
I will now go thru the other recommendations and will let you know how i get on.

Thanks again

Tried everything as suggested and still no luck.
Looks like it has to go to the fixers.
Thanks again

It's not uncommon for the tiny black switches under the bottoms to malfunction/break. Those that are not working probably need to be replaced. You can order them from a Korg supplier and do it yourself, but if you are not tech savvy, then let a service centre do it.
