PA3x SoundCard blown? :O

Post by fResH_ »

Hey guys, something very STRANGE happend today whit my pa3xpro

The keyboard froze after I went to sound mode and then back to style play mode.. So my options was to restart it, standby button didnt work at that moment.. So i restarted it from the back button.

After I restarted it, i pressed a key and it came a BIG sound popping like a dropped MIC.. I thought my RCF TT25a speakers blow up! (they didnt not luckely)

And my mixerboard level light flikered at maximum level. So I immidatly turned of my speakers, Even that I couldnt hear any distorsion I know it was transfering some bad frequerenses..

So then..

i connected my BOSE QC3 headphones to the phone jacket and hear a SCREAM distorsion sound from the pa3x.

I was scared I was f**ked up, bc I have a wedding party this evening.

I restared it again a second time, and noticing SPACE sound comming out when playing. not just from samples even whit ROM grand piano.

Third time I restared it from standby button.. The Screen light flashed very light and I heard a very high click sound comming from the keyboard.

Im affraid of this keyboard :O I need an excorsist :twisted:


I dont know what to do tonight at this wedding :O

This may not be the answer but if I was in your situation right now I would do this...

I would perform a full OS and resources installation and also (just in case) remove the battery and leave it out.

Hope you have some success.

Hi Matthew,

has you changed some settings of the sb-entry or performance ?
That sounds extremely like , that the cut-off and resonanz-parameters are wrong.
Please look one time to the easy-edit page.
Best regards from germany
