No sample and hold on the ProDGX.
The note does not stay at the correct frequency when held. The pitch drop happens immediately on "note on".
J wires are aligned, and cleaned, as is the bar.

Hi Jim,
The fact that the rest of the keyboard works fine seems to rule out that the sample hold function is awry. Does the note stay at the correct frequency if you hold it down? Is it only pitch dropping on the release? Have you checked to make sure the Jwires are aligned properly on that key? Maybe open it up and check to ensure that the contact wires on that top key are aligned the same way as for all the others. If not, bend them back carefully to match the others.
(but I'm not really a tech, so don't just listen to me).
