Repairing a Korg PA600

[prabdevgun]

Hi all!

My Korg pa600 pitch bend lever isn't working, it will control vibrato but no pitch bend.

Im based in the UK Midlands, does anybody know of any repairs places?

Or any indications what I may be able to sell for, everything else is in perfect condition!

Thanks!

.. pitch bend lever isn't working, it will control vibrato but no pitchbend

If pitch-bend controls vibrato it does not seem to be a hardware-error, if it does not control also pitch bend.
Maybe you did not set pitch-bend-lever also to control pitch-bend.
*
On page Keyboard/Ensemble/Keyboard Control enable the Joystick for each of the Upper Keyboard tracks to enable the left / right movement of the Joystick - if disabled you get no pitchbend.
*
On page Mixer-Tuning check the values of Pitch-Bend-Range for each track - if you use Pitchbend sensitivity 0 no pitch bend occurs.
*
If you use sounds with Parameters in Pitch-Mode-Settings (in SoundEdit) are zero also no pitch bend may occurs.

Hi Prabdevgun

If you use frecuently joystick the problem is surely hardware.-
Joystick wire and conector are not as well done as it must.-
If that is your problem check these videos (those help me with same issue).
In my case instead of soldering the same wire or instaling a new joystick, i make a solid extension with an "L" conector.-
Hopping this help you, with regards. Eduardo
