Thanks for the great information. Something I never thought of. Is there a document somewhere explaining how to do this?

Try cleaning the aftertouch contacts on the keys... ( and the keyboard in
general)

Hi,

I still use my VFX-SD in live performances on a weekly basis. I’ve noticed
lately that from gig to gig it goes out of tune and have also noticed that
the tuning will change over the course of the night. I don’t think that
this keyboard is subject to the old problem of varying input voltage from
our local power company but it may be possible. I’ve also noticed that some
aftertouch “features” are stuck on such as vibrato on the alto sax sound. I’ve
worked around it by setting up a program that doesn’t have vibrato enabled,
but as I find more patches that have this problem it becomes a mess trying
to “fix” them all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
