HelloCraig:on this one check the keyswitch contact wires to see if one of
them is flipped.this could be causing the keys to play the same sound on all the
keys.
I don't have time right now but I have the service notes for this synth and
when I get time I will look at them and see if I can figure out more.

Hello. I'm new here. I'm also pretty ignorant when it comes to
electronics and synthesizers. So that's why I'm here. I have a Korg
Trident Mark II, and a problem. First off, I got it for free, with a
disclaimer: the previous owner dropped it or something, and now it
doesn't make any sound. Peculiar. So I took it home and plugged it
in and I couldn't get any sound from it. But upon playing around
with it further, I could get a few sounds, but nowhere near the
apparent capabilities of the synth. But the most annoying part was
that every key in the keyboard played the exact same note. So, right
now, the joystick and delay vibrato doesn't work, the strings
section doesn't either, the brass section is very limited, and the
synth section doesn't seem to respond appropriately when I turn the
knobs. But when it does make sound, it's clear and loud, which makes
me really want to solve these problems. I've inspected the circuit
boards and the wire connections and everything seems intact and free
of anything broken or scratched or anything. Now I am aware that
there is a cassette interface on this synth. Is there some way that
loading some sounds from the same model of synth would help me out?
Is there some factory recordings that they would use to initially
load these synths? So as of right now, I am investigating this
possibility and am wondering if anyone could direct me toward some
of these recordings on any medium like cassette or wav files or
anything so I can give this a shot. However, if someone knows a
better idea, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
