I noticed that after a few minutes of playing my PSR3000 there is a tremolo effect on ALL the voices. It doesn't sound to bad on the piano voices, although noticeable, but the sweet saxes are horrible. If I power down and re-start, the tremolo is gone. After anywhere from two miuntes to 20 minutes, it's back. I tried a factory reset on the user effects, but there was no change.
What a disappointment.

Starkeeper,

Pack up the keyboard and return it to where it was purchased for an exchange. This sounds like a serious mother board problem and the keyboard is still under warrenty. I know you have been waiting for a while to get the keyboard, but these kind of problem, though very rare, do occur. Take it back and exchange it right away.

Could it be the modulation wheel is accidentaly moved during play?

It would have to be moving WHILE the notes are played, correct, not just moved slightly once?
I am not moving or using the mod wheel during play.

This what I will do ASAP. Thanks Gary

No, if you move it ONCE to increase modulation, it will continue to modulate at that rate until it is moved back down. Thus, if you are hitting that wheel somehow, it could easily be the problem. Else, yep, ship it back. At high modulation, it sounds like tremelo.

Move it all the way down and play, careful not to hit it and see if your board does it again.

Starkeeper,
Move that mod wheel up and then down to the off position. If you still hear the modulation then yes return it.

The mod wheel doesn't have to be moving when the notes are played. You can move it up just so slightly, and leave it in that position and the effect will be applied to that sound until you bring the mod wheel down to the "off" position.

Learn something new everyday. I will try that before returning it for repair.
Thanks for your help.
This is a prime example of why I love this forum. There are times when the information here is invaluable.

Starkeeper,
So what happened?
Did you double-check that mod wheel?
The far-left wheel (pitch-bend) returns back to center on its own but the mod wheel does not.
The sounds you described has happened to me many times because of the mod wheel being on (rolled towards top of the keyboard).


(Woops... Just saw your post now. I was posting at same time)
