Key plays sound except piano sounds

Post by blacklodge »

Hi Everyone.

I have a Electro 5HP

In these last days I've noticed that the low B key does not play piano sounds. Ok for organ and Sample but no piano sounds.

Easy problem to solve? I have to clean internal keys? sobstitue anything?

thanks
Gabriele

If you know how the keys work, it may be probable that one of the two contacts of the key doesn't work - maybe due to some dirt on the contact (under the rubber band). The organ doesn't need both contacts as a sound is only on or off - a piano needs both contacts to calculate velocity. I'm wondering about the sample playing - in my eyes it shouldn't.

Does the Electro 5HP have a system menu setting concerning the trigger point for organ playing? Then you could see what happens if you change the trigger point - if then the organ is dead, too, it's more likely that the problem can be solved by carefully cleaning the contact inside the instrument.
