While trying the M50, I had a strange thing happen 3 times in an hour.

The patch changed on me automatically while playing. I had gotten to the patch I was playing with the wheel. After a couple minutes of pretty hard playing, the next piano patch came up (as if someone had moved the wheel one click).

Could I have been playing hard enough to make the wheel move?

Weird....

Simple troubleshooting job...

Use the same patches but switch between them using the arrows and try and play the same music as earlier. If it doesn't happen, the wheel electronics somehow triggered the patch change. If it happens again, something isn't right obviously.

I'll bet that's not the problem...

If he's not real familiar with the M50 or M3, as your browsing sounds (particularly in combi mode), if you take ANY control action, it will automatically revert... WHich is what I'm guessing happened.
I remember when I first got mine, it would do it all the time. But it wasn't the M50 doing something wrong, it was the M50 doing what it's suppose to..

Just a guess!

I´ve had a little bug yestarday.

I was playing the chord triggers of the D36 program (very nice, by the way). I was hitting them quickly, and when I removed my fingers, one of the notes (not the whole chord) remained playing without sttoping. At least, this problem could be solved changing from one mode to another. No need to turn off and then on. There has to be a little bug with an internal "key off" routine.

This appears to be an occasional (but rare) issue with Korg workstations.

I have owned a Triton for over 8 years and this same problem has happened maybe a dozen times during those years. Also, my M3 made a "phantom combi change" once last year. I've contacted Korg tech support and they assured me it was not a common problem; perhaps the wheel clicking just enough in one direction or another, causing the program or combi change.

Of course it's no fun when it happens live. Sad
