I might back that up as with my (digital) Axiom Pro did just that kind of weird things .. you would think a digital corrupt all in one go.. but it went away bit by bit pitch going into aftertouch eventually, and then all mad unusable rubbish now :( So digital CAN behave that weird step by step behaviour. Anything IS possible there

Jimmy, I think so, yes. No, it's definitely a vibrato (I do know music/Italian, if not keyboard triggers). And the E! is thankfully bug-free, though shoddily made.

BB, I've taken this thing apart to the point where it was just a metal casing. Everything is connected, and as I've said probably in another thread the mod wheel does transmit via MIDI (according to Live, MIDI-OX, Massive, FM7, and my MK). I think it's a digital glitch or whatever. The keyboard is solid as a rock (or, moreso, a bed made of 1/8" plate steel) and doesn't bend even when I tried when it was apart. Also, none of the pads are worn that much (this thing was rarely used according to past users). Also, nothing is loose, misshapen, rattling... it's pretty much brand new aside from it has E! and there's a white mark on the front that no one cares about.

Nota Bene: this only happens when I deliberately press rather hard on the keys, it's not something that just happens whenever. I would have noticed I'm sure! And unless it's a hard-coded thing, it's not a parameter. I checked again today.
Cheers! Yoa
