Korg DS8 Sound Problem

Post by jackvonthor » Tue Aug 04, 2020 5:54 pm

Hello
Recently I bought used Korg DS8 and I am having some problems.
The sound that is coming through the output is.. messed up, sounds glitchy.
As a Midi Keyboard, it works without any problems. (through USB-> Midi adapter)

I recorded a video with the issue:

Maybe someone knows what could be wrong? I would be really grateful for any hints.

Thanks

jackvonthor.

Hi,
Is the display okay or are there any funny characters?

Have you done the factory reset? : Hold up and down, then power on.

Display is ok, everything is displayed properly.
I tried to do the reset, but that didn't help

Can you still create a patch?
If not, could it be all your presets are messed up? If that is the case, you may have to replace the back up battery inside and then reload via MIDI Sysex the factory presets.
