Emax 1 sustain always on problem

Emax 1 sustain always on problem

2009-06-23 by umi4m

Just picked up an Emax 1 Keyboard with a rather strange problem.  The Emax sustains any  key you depress,  kind of like you had a sustain pedal plugged in. It does this with all
disks, as soon as you load a bank a key is sustained,  like a latch or hold function. Anyone ever experiance this type of problem? And if so did you find a cure?

Ant advice is appreciated.

I would try to check if there are any fault on the keyboard contacts. (Once I had a problem on a section with the key off common pcb track, and it did the same but just on a section).

Go to ,,,mmmm ,.,.., (I have not the emax in front!!) go to Master I think, and try to reach MIDI Analyzer function. Then check that every time you press and depress a key, the screen tells you a KEY ON and then a KEY OFF message.

If so, then it should not be a keyboard problem.
If it doesn't show any KEY OFF message, you have a mechanical or pcb keyboard problem.

best.
