Key not responding

Post by brycimus »

Last night some milk got spilled on my microkorg. I cleaned it off and took off the back and tilted it so that the excess liquid moved to one corner and then I dabbed it up. Right now one of my keys isn't responding properly. When I first turn it on, and I press it it will register the sound, but the sound will be stuck. The sound will then turn off if i change patches, but then the key will not register at all. I don't know what to do. Should I leave the back off and let it dry out? Should I just try and take it to a repair shop as soon as possible?

Thanks,
B

I hope all the liquid is out, you might start growing a strange culture else.
Might start to smell a bit..

A whole new take on a cheesy synth sounds?

Any liquid can mess with electronics. However is it's dried out before power is applied you can sometimes get away with it.
I looks as if you've done just that.

the key's working now, but unfortunately my resonance knob is wacky. for example, when i go to arpeggiator a, i can usually only turn it to 1.16 or 1.12 and the numbers will fidget back and forth. i also get to the lowest value (1.4) at about the 9 o'clock position, so i can't use the full range of the knob. i'm going to take it into an audio repair shop at home that's listed on korg's website as an official service center. i'll keep my fingers crossed.
