My Pa3x Behaving Strangely

My Pa3x Behaving Strangely
Not sure if anyone else had this issue: the other night at 12 o-clock sharp, my pa3x turned itself on and started playing the theme song from the exorcist and followed by the theme song from Nightmare on Elm Street then Halloween! Then the keyboard turned itself off. This has been happening in the last 3 nights since my dog died. Any ideas?

This is completely normal - stop asking questions and read those manuals (Page 272)!!!

It's obvious that your dead dog is trying to tell you something. :)

Probably that he lifted his leg on your keyboard as his final act. :lol:

Guys! Last night the following has happened and I don’t know if it is a Pa3x issue.
Last night, I could not sleep. I was tossing and turning for what seemed like hours on end. I kept drifting off in to slumberland when finally I was awakened by the sound of a melodious piano being played. I felt as if I faintly remembered this sonata that my dog liked listening to. But, the thought occurred to me, who would be playing the piano in the middle of the night as I live alone in the house.
I got up and slowly crawled out of bed and onto the floor tiptoeing over to my bedroom door. I opened it as if moving in slow motion as to not creak it. I moved down the hall, trying not to make a sound as I began to descend the staircase. As I walked, the piano playing got even louder. I turned the bottom of the staircase and peered across the entryway into the living room.
I stared at my pa3x76 which is located next to my sofa. Before my eyes I saw something that I will never forget. To this moment it still haunts the daylights out of me. There was my dog which died a few days ago, sitting at the pa3x playing it. My dog stopped upon my entrance, turned over to her shoulder and looked straight into my eyes. She raised her left paw, moved to the right of the keyboard bench and motioned for me to sit beside her on the keyboard bench.
I stood there mouth gaping open in shock as chills covered my body. Her paw told me to come to her as she sat on the left side of the bench just waiting for me to sit down. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I ran up the staircase straight into bedroom.
What do you think this means? Is this an issue with the Pa3x? This is something Korg should really look into, we surely don’t want anything like this with the Pa4x!

Hi MuratE,

Whatever you are smoking or imbibing, I think you should stop.

Hi MuratE

Why stop, join in and jam with the dog.

Or better still, find out if the dog knows any tips and tricks and secrets of the Pa3x.

Take advantage of the situation... need not necessarily be a bad thing.

thanx

I just KNEW it was the dog all along. Good thing your cat didn't die, it might scratch the keys!

P.S. It would be a fun thing if next time you catch the dog playing, just howl along with the music.

This gives a whole new meaning to the acronym DAW. The leash you could do is connect a MIDI chord. Or is it a PAW DAW? Did your dog favour the PADS? This is quite the tail!
