I have a SD-1 that came in with the same problem. FRIST, check the velocity/at settings. If they are set correctly, the the problem is most likely that the key-down bumbers have hardened and cousinf too much pressure to be needed to reach the "sweet spot" to trigger AT. I got this one working by trimming the rubber bushings a little. A fair amount of work removing the keyboard and all the keys.

WARNING: If you want to try this, please Email me and I will send you a rough sketch of what to cut... DO NOT CUT THE BUSHINGS "SHORTER". 
www.syntaur.com has a few used bushings left if you need some. I have NOT tried this, but is may work to soak the bushings in a rubber renewal chemical.
