Keboard giving off strange sound.

Keboard giving off strange sound.

2003-12-21 by rio3745

Maybe you VFX_SD veterans can help me.
When I press down on my keys it sends many notes playing at once.
I have noticed that it only happens on some type of patches and not all,
anybody have ideas?
Has anyone herd of any other problems with the vfx series (other than
the 2 & 3 board needing to be hard wiredtogether)?
thanx,
Dave

Here's an idea about the "many note" thing:  Check to make sure the mod 
wheel is down (or lowered) all the way.  This is the first place I look when 
I hear strange pitches.  Then, if you do use a CV pedal, set the pedal to 
"mod," not volume, in the master settings, and put the pedal down (or 
lowered) all the way.  Then set the pedal for volume.  Try the same patches 
again.  One notorious patch that would be affected by the mod wheel is the 
alto sax program.  Give it a shot.

Thanks, Ellen
Ithink I'm going to take it apart and give it a good cleaning and make sure nothing is loose inside (I moved it around today and something was rattling inside) I will also chek the settings you suggested and see if it responds.
I have decided that if it still is acting up I will see about getting it repaired and in the meantime I hope to find one on ebay.
