If you had a face-to-face opportunity to ask a very good Yamaha Tech Support guy questions about your keyboard - what would you want to ask him?

Deane

What, not a single question anyone here would like to ask a tech rep?
I'am surprised.
Deane

Its all been said before. No need at all to rehash it.............yet again

Gosh Deane I've never had a problem with any of my Yammies, so no tech support questions really. And Yamaha is the only brand for which I can say this is true.

Now a heart-to-heart talk with someone in their R&D department, THAT's a different story! But that's not what you asked

well, I can say that was true of my technics kn6000 ...

Never had a problem with any Yamaha arranger keyboard in more than 2 decades.

Yamaha Arrangers and Workstations have a high level of quality and reliability. Never had an issue with my Tyros 3 or Motif XF.
Check out the Motif Forum. Very rarely is there a post about a problem and if there is most of the time it's Operator error or not understanding the product.

Yes, the better question is what would say to the top R&D person?

On my PSRA2000, when I use the sustain pedal, I have sometimes a note who is sounding very loud. I don't know why.

Maybe a bug?

I think everything that could, and would be said to the R&D person has already been posted on the "Yamaha Listens" thread.

check the KEY strip contacts under the keys they go bad and need to be replaced most times..

Yes, and it is always the "A" key - why is that???

Bill G

Usually, contact strips come in sections. Two or three are needed for the entire range. The reason why specific notes tend to go bad is that they are usually at the END of one of the strips, so there is a much larger area for moisture and dirt to be able to creep in and mess with the closest contact.

The problem seems to be there since the beggining...

Yes, this is a note in the middle.

It's rare, so I don't care too much, but the last time it was when the bride enters ...

Yamaha contact strips, both for the PSR and Tyros series, come in octave strips. They're about $20 and fairly easy to install. You'll find complete instructions at the PSR Tutorial site.

What is strange, is that it seems to be related to the sustain pedal.

Dan,

It really has nothing to do with the sustain pedal, but when you hit the pedal it exacerbates the problem dramatically.
