Main L/R Outputs are scratchy

I bought a very used Korg Triton ProX and I wonder if it needs a cleaning or not. If I choose certain sounds like "piano," and turn the volume of the keyboard half way or more, I hear a little distortion or scratchy sound. I have checked other channels in my mixer and they are all the same.

This scratchy sound is not in the headphone output. I would assume it is dusty but my Korg X2 has a similar problem of volume overload, although it is much worse in the Triton. Any tips?

Also, are there any newer piano samples available other than the stock ones?

Thanks,

Do You mean scratchy or breaking up.
Do a search on the forum for faulty outputs theres loads.

*OR*

the volume slider needs cleaned with contact cleaner/lubricant. That's my FIRST guess...

If the headphone output has no problems, you have no problems until halfway up the volume slider, and a similar problem exists with another board, my first check would see if you're clipping.
