Volumes suddenly too loud

Post by gmpolin »

I have been playing the Korg PA 4X since early 2019. I was working on a chord progression this morning, and was getting ready to record some music, when suddenly the style I was using sounded awful. After trying some other styles, I realized that in every style I played, the volume of the bass and drum sounded extreme, as if it were set to maximum. I am talking about internal factory styles. Five minutes before, they had sounded perfectly normal.

I tried restarting the Korg, but the problem is still there. I have played with all the volume controls on the Korg, and on the audio interface. I plugged my headphones directly into the Korg, to make sure that something wasn't happening in the Audio Interface.

I have hardly ever edited a style before, but when I go into Style Edit, all of the Volumes for Bass, Drums and Percussion are set to 100, in every style I checked. I edited a couple of them to be lower and made copies so I could go on working, but I would love to get help to get things back to normal.

Is it possible that I hit some button in the keyboard that did this? It was literally one moment to the next.

Thanks for any help with this.

A further note: I have reduced the volume of thedrums on a number of styles and they still sound wrong. It is almost like the sound is doubled, or played through a delay.

I'm still investigating.

Are you recording midi and do you have the midi out channels mapped to the keyboard with local control turned on? That's why it's doubling

Well, I am not doing any of that intentionally. Where is the control where that might have been turned on?

Thanks for any further help.
