Does the problem go away if you turn the unit off and on again?  I 
have seen a bug like this - it is easier to notice with the SF-6, 
because you see that it thinks one of the keys is "permanently 
depressed" (LED is on).  It is usually a middle C or D, so when you 
release your note, it drops back to this note.  Try to see if it is a 
fixed note that it is returning to, and not a fixed pitch drop 
relative to the note you play.

I have also noticed that the SF-6 gets confused by chords, and will 
leave a note "playing", causing problems.  This was really apparent 
in the second to last OS update, but seems much better now.  Try and 
see if you play a bunch of chords in succession if you can make notes 
hang.

Document the bug and submit it at the monomachine.com/beta/ page.
