Key change problem

[Sanox]

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. I have a problem with my Korg PA1X.
It changes key on the right hand only and go up a full tone. this does not always happen. but when playing I sometimes it will change without warning.
It does not seem to matter what style or song or Istrument it is on.
another thing it does it holds the notes . so the note is playing all the time. but again it does not do this all the time. and just happens.
I have noticed a sound like a dirty amp switch crackly beofre the key changes up. any information or things I could try would be helpful.
I have tried resetting to factory settings and thought I had cured it ,but it is doing it again now.
Cheers Danny

Sorry to hear about this.
You could check the joystick regarding the key changes - they can cause problems.

The sustained notes can be caused by a faulty pedal - remove all pedals and see if it still occurs.

Other than that I would recommend getting a service centre to check it out.

All the best

Hi Pete. Thanks for reply.
No pedals connected to keyboard.

Hi Pete, It seems you were right about joy stick . when the right hand changed key up a full tone again I moved the joystick and it corrected back to the right key. so the fault is with the joystick not sure if it a dirty connection which would account for the dirty switch sound before it changed key.
but at least I know where the problem is. it still holds notes on now again with no pedals plugged in to keyboard.

So Thanks for your help Pete.
Take Care Danny

Great Danny

You should be able to replace the joystick.
Glad you figured it out.

Cheers
