Korg M50 Bug Problem!!!

[Dmulanovich]

I've had the M50 -88 for a few months now (about 4) and it has worked perfectly for me up until today.

Some keys decided to not sound and even get stuck. To be more precise, the G, B and E-flat of every octave do not sound (some don't do at all) and in some patches like Electric Pianos, they sound but VERY faintly.

In some lead patches, the G and B do sound but stay sustained.

I'm literally desperate since this keyboard was the kickstarter for a big project of mine. So please aid me with this problem!

You will more than likely need to do what all keyboard owners need to do at this point and take it in for repair. It sucks but happens to them all from time to time. Someone here may give tips on home repair but do remember it voids any warranty. Which at four months your are still under thankfully.

I bought the keyboard from a guy who had bought it in the US and brought it to my country for a gig which was never done, so it's kind of "second handed".

Other biggie, there is no official Korg distributor in my country, so looking for someone to fix it, wouldn't be an easy task

Ahh, I see, it is a used and not new keyboard. This does present problems I thankfully only can imagine. I feel for you , however it does sound like shipping the unit out for repair or finding someone capable locally might be your only options in this case. There are members here who perhaps can give you advice on repairing a used out of warranty keyboard if you have the technical abilities to do so. You can wait and see if someone who is familiar with the problem comes around but I would look for someone locally, who is capable of repairs . Shipping could get expensive when the item is as heavy as that. Good luck in whatever you do.
If it is just the keys that are bad you might consider a midi controller if you happen to have another midi rig available by the way.
