OldSynths

Doesn't sound "normal" to me.  Try moving the mod wheel back though :-)   I
seem to recall a few that have reverb>mod wheel routings. Reloading patches
is adequate. DO NOT enter diagnostic mode and clear things or you'll be in
for a repair bill installing new EPROMs or whatever they used...can't
recall.  I used that once because I had it repaired and feared the repair
people had done nothing.  To make SURE this time that they replaced those
chips, I killed 'em :-)  Then it started doing the same thing again anyway
and Korg finally just gave me a new EX model out of warranty!  -Bob
