Hey bro 😎 nice video thanks. I have a friends triton in Chicago i need to fix. Highest G key. May used your video for help. Cheers and thanks for filming. And might need this for dx7. Yea I started repairing my ARP Odyssey on the 1980s. too expensive is right to get these easy things repaired at a shop. . Rock on.
HI Great video. Very informative. I had a broken key on my Triton Extreme so I put it together to find only the few keys at the end worked... no sound from the rest. Im going to have another go at it after looking at your video so here hoping........!!!
@@jacksonrauch9429 yes. I checked all the connections. All secure so I sprayed contact spray and blew around the keys and took the who contact board off a couple of times so going to do it again as the problem I think is definitely around there,
Hi.... The first time I took my Triton extreme to pieces was a job and a half but replacing the broken key was a journey to say the least and I had only a small part of the keys sounding. Eventually after doing the whole thing over and over again I solved it. I think we have to learn by mistakes and eventually we will get it correct even when it comes to putting the keys in. I have been playing it for some months then when I played a black key it now plays two white keys so all three moving with it so it looks like a long journey again. What you have to remember is that you can fix it but it will take time and effort and save you lot of money.........
Hey, thanks for sharing. I replaced the key springs on several keys on my Yamaha So8. It was kind of a breeze. But the key bed did have to come out to access key springs. As I am not replacing keys on my Korg M1, only key springs as a result of a sluggish key, is it necessary to remove key bed? It looks like the springs are accessible without removing bed. I saw that you mentioned something about not getting sound and that there was a simple fix, just not real sure what you were referring to. The key spring, hopefully. Thanks! Randy
Hi Randy. You might be able to replace the spring without taking out the whole key but I kind of doubt it. If I recall correctly taking the key bed out on the M1 is a lot easier than it is on the Triton extreme because there's less stuff to move. That being said from my experience those Springs really never go bad so your problem might be something else.
Great video man. I have like 200 beats made on my triton extreme but my jog wheel and start/stop button dont work. Do u have any tips on repairing these? I need help. Thanks
@@AP530 yeah you are going to have to replace the switch. Take out the old one and solder in a new one. Not fun (for me) I hate soldering 💁🏻♂️ replacing the rotary dial might be easier I’ve never done that, but it might be soldered in as well. I use syntaur.com for parts
@@jacksonrauch9429 do i only need to replace old switch n solder in new switch n thats all? Or do i need to replace the buttons as well? Are the buttons still fine but the switch needs to be replaced or i have to replace switch AND plastic buttons? Thanks
@@AP530 call syntaur to verify, but it is most likely this: syntaur.com/Part-4801-Pushbutton-tact-switch-9.5mm-2-pin The buttons are separate and most likely fine
Is there a possibility that the system files (pcg, combi, sequencer / song / and pcg with samples) that I made on my Korg Triton Classic, will be originally loaded into Korg Triton Extreme ??? 🙄 🤔
Hello. The A key just below middle C is ringing or modulating louder when played than any other key on my Triton Extreme (88 weighted keys). Not familiar with keyboard electronics and really out of my league to open the case. This situation has just occurred. I don’t gig with this, but use it daily in my studio. No idea if fixing the one key is easily doable or what my repair options are. The sound of the one key when pressed is very distinguishable when playing the rig…makes it annoying to hear. Thanks for any help or suggestion.
Hi there. The key bed in your Triton extreme will not be the same as the one in this video. I am not sure what keybad is in there. However I have had similar problems with my Yamaha cp4. Most likely there is some kind of rubber pad that detects velocity. It sounds like that pad has gone bad and can't detect the velocity on that key. So you would have to replace that part
@@jacksonrauch9429 Thanks Jason. Is this something I should/could try to fix or replace myself…or should I find a technician that can fix it? For example, I live in the DC area and the music store I purchased the Triton from does repairs (I believe). My concern is the practical cost for that kind repair. I love the rig, but can’t see paying hundreds to fix (?). I’m guessing at cost. Thanks again.
@@terryparham3913 sorry for the delay. I would do it myself. At least take the back off and take a look at it to see whether it looks like something that you'd be comfortable doing. I may have some time to assist later this week if you want
Hi Jackson..thanks for the video. I've got a Korg Triton (not extreme) 76 note. Last night during a gig while playing, two black notes got stuck in the 'down' position and wouldn't spring back up. (and yes, I got continuous sound to the point I just turned off the board and limped thru the gig with my other board). The key isn't broken, the key sounds....it just binds. I can physically pull it up and it stops sounding but when I press it , feels like it binds on something and stays stuck in down position. Any thoughts on what to do? Take it all apart and inspect? anyone else run into this? Is the classic triton easier/harder to take keybed apart compared to extreme? Thanks for any help as I love the board and no one in Salt Lake City provides synth repair like this. :o(
Hi there. You’re very welcome for the video. I yes, take the bottom off of the Korg and look at the keys that are sticking. You will see the underside of them to be honest. I’m not sure what key bed the 76 note cord uses. It may be a different key bed it probably is if you wanna take the back off and send me some pictures let me know.
@@jacksonrauch9429 so i took the back off and i can see up at the top of the key (where it snaps in to a squarish slot, that the plastic has chipped so the two stuck keys will not stay 'seated' in the slot. I'm not crazy about removing boards and unscrewing the keybed (sounds like that is a lot of work?) so I'm thinking of 'macgyvering' a solution, like maybe crazy gluing some kind of pin to the plastic to hold the key in place. fingers crossed.... :o)
@@HannahMontanaWannaB1 you will see that I addressed this problem in the video. I suspected that’s what it was but it’s weird to have two of them break at once! You are going to have to replace the keys. It’s not that hard. Just unscrew the key bed from the keyboard. Take the wires off replace the keys and put it all back together. If you want me to help you let me know.
Hey, cool vid! I have a Triton Classic and the problem with it is that several keys from the two lower octaves don't react properly when they're hit harder. I use them mostly to record drums parts and there's where bass drum, hit hats and snares are located. Any idea why this happens? The rest of the keys work kinda fine for a keyboard that is almost 20 years old... Cheers!
@@jacksonrauch9429 no problem. Some os the keys, specialle the ones in the first octave don't react when I play them a little bit harder, they keep sounding like if I were playing them softly. And this is a pain in the arse since those are the keys assigned to bass drum, hi hats and snares and I make EBM music. What do you think it might be the problem? I've messed a lot with adjusting keys' sensitivivity and I even opened it to clean the sensors in the keys...
@@horaciolopez2096 hmmm... I have not ever had that problem... if it's a couple of octaves it's probably a connector issue I would check to see if the connectors are all snug and clean

Could you please recommend any online store or website where I can buy the keyboard keys separately?
Hey there. What specific keys do you need?
