Topic: Evidence of bad keybed on Korg Pa5X 88

[rikkisbears]

There was definitely a difference compared to the ES920 though. I can only describe it as some type of additional mechanical "knock"  once a key hits the bottom of the keybed.

Hi , could you have been hearing the hammer noise or the fallback noise? or was it definitely mechanical. Es920 has noises that get added , (I suppose for realism.)  If they’re the noise you’re hearing , they’re adjustable.

Hey Rikki :

Thank you so much for your reply.
Let us hope Korg are able to fix all problems.

Best wishes, JH

Some suppliers seem to like the idea of adding noises to Keybeds. Ironically on the PA5 the Austrian Grand piano is layered by default with a "Voice" called Austrian Grand RX which if turned up can change the 76 silent keybed into a "noisy 88" (plus damper pedal noises). OTOH if the keybed is already an 88 it may be redundant!

Did you watch the video the OP posted?

That's not meant to happen, I'm 100% sure ....

Oh boy, so the waiting is: new keyboards with broken  and smoky yellow keys, cracking wood and are named: Korg Vintage Special Edition.  🤔😃

Not a fan of those clicks and thumps , I turned them down on the es920,  I normally switch the rx Austrian voice off, prefer without, again can be turned down.

I don’t have to thump my PA5x piano keys so that I can hear melody voices over the styles backing, I just use the setting that turns the style backing down by a nice even percentage. Unfortunately some owners haven’t found it,  it’s a new setting so unfortunately  many not aware of it. Found something similar on sx900😀. I’m careful with my sx900 also, been reports of faulty keybeds,  mines fine, but I rarely use it, I used my es920 as controller, now my PA5x

Anybody remember Clacky Keys post

I appreciate constructive criticism or opinion, where I expect it to be supported by some evidence (either from personal experience or from elsewhere). That way we can learn something and hopefully make better decisions.
But I don't see that in these posts, where the only intention is, to bash a product/brand -which is kinda immature.
