the way to resolve key or voice on this model is to put the oscillators in the mono mode by pressing the "unison" switch.
then each time you press a key, you should hear all voices at once. then try each key one at a time: any that dont play have faulty key contacts.
earlier models had an ongoing problem with faulty keycontacts, they KORG subsequently reissuewed a keybed with gold plated contacts,
if you have the older one you have a projeact ahead of you. you have to service each key switch with a contact enhancing product.
Please note spraying any chemical spray at random into the key contact area you are courting disaster, ie use WD40 will ruin it good. we use a
product made by CAIG that is a pen wipe- works okay...the best fix is try to find a keybed with the gold contacts and be done with it.
if it is a voice out, return it to the poly mode then play a chromatic scale, a dead voice will show up as every 8th note is dead, regarding of course
dead keys.

Hi all!I own a DW-8000, which I recently bought on eBay.Unfortunately few keys of the keyboard seem not respond.Sometimes, pressing harder (or faster?), they work. It just on few keys.This is actually quite random, so I do not know yet whether with is due to a missing voice (is that possible?), or it's a problem in few key contacts.Do you know how I could better check this, and how I can clean the keys of the keyboard?Thanks!Cheers,Marcos/
