First, check the fingering mode setting and set it to multi-finger or fingered. If this doesn't solve the problem, do a system reset by holding down the rightmost white key while powering up.

Hope this helps,

Thats odd.  Could be a glitch in the keyboard's programming.

Does it do it while accompaniment is on?

We appreciate the heads-up.. I for one, was wondering if you could solve this problem om your own.

Nobody on this great forum could give you any help, so I think it's off to the keyboard hospital for your s950.

Or perhaps you can live with it and it may correct itself over time. ( that could be wishful thinking)

All the best

regards

Ron

Have you tried moving the split point?

Hi humpe322,

I think there is a hardware defect in your S950: It is probably due to either the key matrix (circuit boards MK-L and MK-H) or the key scanner circuit (board EMKS61A or IC1 "E-LKS"). (See also the attached picture.)

The device should be checked by a Yamaha service technician.


P.S.
You can download the S950 Service Manual here:
>>> https://psrtutorial.com/lessons/workshops/ServiceManuals.html

But only reading this manual or running the internal Test program will probably be of no use in this case. As I said, an experienced service technician should look at this ...


Best regards,
Chris

In other words, sadly it needs to go to the hospital! You have my full sympathy, as I had a keyboard failure myself a couple of years ago.

Hi....
I had this problem a few years ago with my 950.   I learned that there is a part made from rubber under each key that had worn.  I ordered the part and although I’m not particularly technical, was able to take the keyboard apart and replace the part.  It has worked fine since.   

I don’t recall the name of the part but if you contact Yamaha I’m sure they can help.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas

I found the part on eBay for $9.80.    It’s called rubber keyboard contact ....just search eBay for it and good luck...

Hi Bob,

I don't think that the Rubber contacts could be the problem in the present case. When the Key contacts (which are closed by the Rubber strips) don't work properly anymore, some notes will either not play at all or play at full velocity. But with the problem described here (that two notes first play normally, but then suddenly do NOT play anymore as soon as a third key is pressed), as I said, I cannot imagine that this has anything to do with the Rubber contacts.


Best regards,
Chris
