Bubbajazz Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 A weird problem cropped up with my K2500XS yesterday. I turned it on, started playing, and after a couple of minutes, the sound disappeared. Switching patches or rebooting made it reappear, but intermittently, the sound would again disappear, sometimes reappearing, sometimes not. This was all in Program mode, and in Disk mode (with no further entry). Things seemed to work OK in Song mode, and I did not test Setup. There is no external MIDI hooked up, so I am pretty sure it isn't an external voice-stealing problem. Panic Off doesn't seem to impact it. I rebooted a couple of times (both with/without external CD-ROM turned on) and the problem cropped up after reboots too. Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts? George Martin - please weigh in. I've got a couple of sessions coming up, and I hope I don't have to lose my board for these. Many thanks in advance to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitdump Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Is it happening in the headphones? Is KDFX installed? Are you loading any master tables? Whats the Control Setup doing? was it modified?

I don't know exactly what you mean by Master Tables, so I probably am not doing that. Control setup is stock KX2500, with the only change being fixed big ribbon (not floating) Thanks for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togakure99 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Go to the MIDIscope utility, and see if there any any MIDI messages being sent without you playing the keyboard. It could be that you have a controller that is failing and sending random MIDI messages. If you see something like this, the control may need to be repaired or replaced. Brett G.

OctaveDr Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 maybe try a "hard" reset... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitdump Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 The Master table is a low level object that saves all the settings in the Master Mode. So if you do something like edit the outs on the MIDI Chans page it is possible loading the Master Table could change the behaviour of you outputs and what you are hearing. MIDI scope is a good idea too. Check the voices page as well, faster way is from any page Press the two middle soft buttons at the same time and select the option. If you see lots of MIDI info or lots of XXXX or xxxx that will not go away then something is hanging voices in the unit. Can start to trouble shoot from there. Reset is always a good idea and if the Master mode reset doesn't help, do the reset from the boot loader. In fact before that, if you see the problem try a soft reset. After that start going about what your loading and doing in a system matic manner. That is load this file first, press this button and what now. Try to pay attention, because if the problem comes back you have a better idea of the the last thing you did or file you loaded before seeing the problem. From there things are much easier to diagnose. Names to Remember: Charles Stepney & Emory Cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The casually written word always comes back to haunt you - first rule of Email. Of course, I meant George Hamilton. Sorry 'bout that. I will check out the other suggestions and let the group know. I'm slow in responding because my main web PC is on the fritz (no, it's not connected to the K - that would be too easy.) Thanks, all. I appreciate your time.

system Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 The only useful suggestion so far is a hard reset. If you do this, and the problem persists then some hardware is failing. Probably the power supply. This is NOT normal behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
