Problem: Sticky "non-releasing" sounds KORG Triton

[lostsoul]

Greetings all.

New to the forum here, have tried searching for this before posting, and to no avail, but apologies if I have missed something which has been posted before.

On my KORG Triton LE, I have an intermittent problem which can occur either in COMBI or PROG mode.

The problem symptomns are: "As if I have my foot on a sustain pedal" (I don't have one plugged in btw). I.e. sounds do not release and thus playing 4 keys sequentially would result in all keys still sounding (indefinately) after the keys have been released.

Once this problem occurs, there is no way to clear this "sticky" until I either change patch, change mode, or power off/on. A change of patch will usually "cure" the problem for a minute or so, but it will usually come back. Power off/on usually suspends the problem for a greater period of time - but in fairness this could just be chance.

Anyone have any clues, or do I need to be looking into the old official non-warranty repair/service route?

System is version 1.5.0

Any help much appreciated. Cheers.

L.

Lostsoul,

This is a strange one -- it sounds to me like there's a fail in the sustain jack on the interior board. You say no pedal's plugged in?

I would take this one to the shop.

As a stop gap, you can try changing the pedal polarity under global. This might get you a status where the intermittent fault just "confirms" the pedal off rather than sticking in "on" mode - might - depending on the nature of the fault.

But that wouldn't be an actual fix. Shop time.
