Korg Krome Issue - Stereo/Sustain Problem

[idoherty451]

Hi,

I've been using a Korg Krome workstation for close to two years now, and just in the past couple of months, I've noticed a weird sound issue that only seems to happen with the tones that play in stereo. For the sake of reference, here's a video I posted last month where you can hear the issue (most noticeably around 1:50 - 2:10 & 2:40, and continuing to happen intermittently throughout the rest of the video):

At first I thought it might be a sustain pedal issue, but I swapped in another sustain pedal and still had the issue, and the one I usually use for this keyboard worked fine with other keyboards I have. Doesn't seem to be a cable issue--swapped in a bunch of different cables, alternated from using just the L / MONO output to both outputs for comparison and still experienced the issue. It only seems to happen with the grand piano tones, though--jamming out on one of the EP tones, it doesn't seem to happen.

Any insight into what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey there.

I reckon you've got the famous Krome note cutoff issue that seems to have plagued some units.

Check out this thread for a potential solution, seems folks have been replacing the internal micro SD card with success.

I own a Krome but have not encountered this issue myself.

Good luck, hope it helps.

Hi idoherty,
I hit the like button on your post. That was a very nice tune you played. A smooth and mellow sound. I enjoyed listening.

As for your problem, I sincerely hope it can be resolved. Maybe Cowboy is on the money.

I like it now that I can hear better for the moment but not good enough to hear the problem. Your style is much like mine. Hope you do well.

I'd like to hear you going off a little more and longer in that higher octave near 2:40-2;55. That part was especially nice what little there was.

I am getting some continuous and unbearable noise when attaching sustain padel. Attaching the video
