I like my Roland Fantom 88 key feel much better but like the sounds on the Korg,, :cry:

Hey Farmer, you called me earlier and its very obvious its you because of your handle ;)

I would tell you EXACTLY the same thing. Call Korg USA. They will sort it out for you cause its still under warranty. No keyboard should act up like this. You have an early K88 and those seem to be the more troubled ones.

If you need any more guidance you know you can call me! Sorry i havent called you back i just got finished with the client and the time difference i assumed you may be asleep!

I have a similar issue but with the middle D key under the touch screen with a Kronos. It isn't hard to press, but it goes up slower than others.

However, I will let it repair later, because I still can play without too many problems. For gigging it might be an issue.
