Pls help. Problem playing in GM

Using PROG and GM, when I release the key for any note or chord it's immediately followed by the C above middle C. Every note. Every chord. Every time.

This just started happening and it's driving me crazy! I have not changed any settings. All I ever use is GM, the PROG for input and S.PLAY for playback, which does not have this problem

I'm a composer and can't focus (or write!) with this happening.

Would resetting the Triton help? If so, how do I do that? I have the two floppy disks (we're talking old!) labeled TNFD-00P and -01P as well as the the MacOS Software version 1.1 that came with the Triton.

I don't see any way to update the OS software as it's been many years since I had a computer that could create a floppy.

well half your problem is solvable. You can pick up a USB floppy drive at office depot or best buy - ~$45 US.

The OS upgrade is available from Korg... if the triton's OS is the problem. Just used my floppy writer to upgrade the T-Rack OS and it was on 3 floppies - the USB>floppy wrote 'em correctly and was handy when one showed up as unformatted, the formatting takes forever on anything but a computer.

-----------

That the "stuck" note is the same, consistently may indicate that the key scan is malfunctioning - my understanding is that the keyboard is scanned at some too-fast-to-hear rate and the CPU sees what switches are closed/open and plays the appropriate notes. A bad connection or bridged circuit (i.e., a loose screw in lodged in just the right spot in the the keybed) would be "played" after every note as the scanned looked and found not a clean bottom to top sweep free of notes but the stuck note. And it might not show until you played a note and that circuit failed to send it's own "all notes off" for that particular key.

This may be one for the repair shop...

Are you midi-hooked up to anything?
PC or another keyboard?
