Nothing is muted.
Something is wrong. I gave up last night in frustration after producing several perfect takes and the damn thing kept doing it. I get up this morning, turn on the keyboard in anticipation, did a perfect take and STOP. All sound just stopped. Except, it sounds to me like it does a high hat sound at the very end of the stop. It just stops and then HIGH HAT HIT. And then, split second later, all sound comes back in.
If anyone knows a solution, advise.
P.S. Don't forget, I previously said that this muting behaviour started occurring when I press one of the fill buttons. I know it happens on the D fill button. I press D and expect a drum fill and no, it stops. And, as reported in previous posts, the D fill button... sometimes I press it and NOTHING happens. Like the button switch is faulty. I press it hard as hell and nothing. Then, next time I press it, it might work.
P.S.S. I have reported before that occasionally, this keyboard does something squirrelly. Like, what the heck was THAT? Unexplainable barfs. Minor stuff, it keeps playing but whatever just occurred, it's not 'right.' It will be some minor hiccup unexpected. Yeah, I need a new keyboard but I can't right now. And the dang thing plays absolutely perfectly 99% of the time. I like it. For live use, a MINOR hiccup is acceptable. For recording an important demo, it's a real drag.
If anyone knows anything I can do, advise, please.

Bill, When you hit 3 subsequent notes in the chord part, the accompaniment stops and starts again with the next chord, but I guess you know that. Other then that, I would suspect a bad ribbon connection or some cold soldering points, because electronics do either work or don't, they don't alternate in between except for bad or corroded contacts. At the going labor prices for electronic repairs, if you're handy, it would only cost you some time to open it up and check all connectors (even disconnect and connect them again) and a look for cold soldering joints. The rubber contact under the D button might be getting worn out and needs replacement or some dirt is preventing a good contact (I once found a squashed tiny little fruit fly under a faulty button in a fax machine).

Uh, not exactly, John. Three *subsequent* notes... you mean simultaneous? No, uh, what? No, I don't know what you mean. In auto-accompaniment mode, I play left hand chords and everything is smooth as silk, there should be no starting and stopping. Anyway, regardless of my misunderstanding of what you meant, I don't think that has anything to do with my problem. The 'end' button worked fine until now. And the D button worked fine until a few weeks ago. Does anyone think a Reset would do anything? What do I press to do that? Will I lose registrations? ------------------ Me Bill Yamaha PSR2000
