Triton Extreme 88 Tuning Issue

Post by christurbis »

My Triton is doing something very bizarre.
While im playing it moves up exactly 2 semi tones.

So, Im live on stage doing a heavy keyboard part, and bam,
Im 2 notes higher... My C is now a D.

Anyone out there familiar with this or have suggestions?
Ive gone into global when this happens and set it to -2 to adjust back to A440 and the damn thing listens to the global tuning setting and now Im 2 semi tones down .. My C is now a Bb.

Acchhhhh!!!!!

A faulty joystick can cause pitch changes during play. It could be a joystick potentiometer that's gone bad, or an intermittent connection. Try pitch bending with the joystick a few times, and see if that clears it.

Thank voip, I'll try that.
My joystick stopped working last year and this is not just a bend.
Its an exact 2 semi tone instant change.

pitch bend I think voip is on to something!!

hey chris try unplugging the pitch bend unit inside the keyboard
and see if the issue clears up.
the pitch bend part inside can be trashed to the point of intermitted..

Take it from a tech this can and does happen in real use!!
