Hello everyone!
I'm facing a strange issue - all my sounds have an additional, very intensive reverb effect. Moreover there's some kind of effect (like I would have turned my real time sound controllers almost to max) affecting all my sounds.
I haven't changed any settings. Just one day I turned on my Korg and it appeared.
Maybe anyone has stumbled on this problem before? Or, if not, maybe someone could suggest what to do in such situation?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!

As it appear on all sounds I would check to see if there is a fault in the assignable switch or the control pedal, either of which - if there is a short - could cause a "full on" controlling signal to be sent.
You might check to see if either of the assignable controls are set up in the global menu to effect something that could be mis-controlling reverb.
Another and now that I think on it more likely possibility is that there is a short in knob 4, or the board under it. Knob 4 is set up in almost all of the stock programs to control reverb send [and a short there fits with the sudden onset and FX symptom.]
If you're lucky, the global/assignable pedal controls might be a software fix; go in to the global control menu and edit the pedal or switch to some other effect. On the hardware side you might have a pedal plugged in that is defective or even a cable that is. The "not so lucky" end of that logic is that the fault may lie in the board that the jacks plug in to.
The Control Knob 4, if it is the source, would most likely be to fix or replace the affected board.
Given that the Triton's getting up toward it's half-life (where half the keyboards made are dying) you won't be able to find a new/factory replacement; they're just not made any more.
But it also means that the "terminal fault" that kills another boards probably won't be in the same board that you need to fix yours. If you're truly dedicated to using the Triton series, consider buying an "As-Is" damaged keyboard for parts - even a fully operational triton is down to the $400-500 range, so a "for parts" spare may be a viable option if it turns out that that's what you require.

Thank you BB for your analysis and bunch of advice.
I will check again the global menu and look deeper into "knob 4 issue".
I'm rather a musician than a technician, which means that most of even slight problems related to soft or hard are beyond my competence to handle.
Anyway - thanks again. I will look for the simple solutions or Service.
All the best!
