Mark,

I must have missed that you had a KP65. My guess about the problem 
still holds, but OGD's description of the insides in a previous post 
supervenes. If you do open it up, check the foam behind the rubber to 
make sure that it hasn't seriously deteriorated. Incidentally, Yamaha 
has always been helpful about such things. We've had a good 
relationship with them for a long time. Try calling 1-888-892-6242 
for Martin Arroyo of customer support, or Dave Ksycki 
(dkyscki@...), who heads customer support, especially with 
MIDI. Tell them that the DTXpress Group sent you.
