Kronos 73 weird keyboard

Hi,

MY old Kronos 73 keybed was replaced with the corrected version from a Korg dealer.
It worked fine for a long time.

Until recently, the strange thing happened to my keyboard.

The C#, F and A keys in every octave of the K73 started act crazy. Sometimes sustained or sometimes no trigger to the internal sound engine or MIDI output.

I checked if it is the internal sound/midi problem by connecting to the sequencer but it showed that no midi signal coming out when I use those notes.

Anyone has any idea on this issue ? Or is this may be some kind of loose cabling with those notes ?

I think it is some kind of small systematic hardware issue and can be fixed by connecting the keybed cable or something like that.

Thanks guys !

It looks like a hardware problem. I can remember in the past about a similar problem and it was a connection from the keyboard to the processing board.

The notes are 'grouped' and a cable is used for a set of keys, which might be octave grouped. I would go to a support center (or if out of warranty and if you feel confident, reattach all cables).

michelkeijzers thank you for your reply.

It is out of warranty indeed and there is no official Korg service center in my country.

I guess I have to find that out by opening the keyboard.

Good luck and be careful
