Sad news, my Kn7000 has stopped working. Everything is working but the keys are not sending any info to the rest of the keyboard. Chord changes and sound.

Its as if the line between keys and the rest of the keyboard was cut. This does not sound like it’s a major problem, I hope.

Anyone experience this problem?

I would check the cable(s) coming from the keyboard to the motherboard. It may have come loose. Best of luck.

John, it's a long shot, but if the keys are silent and everything else work, as i.e. if play a midifile, then maybe the 'local' option is set to off.
There is a feature someplace in the menu, maybe in the midi part, where 'local' can be set to on or off.
Hopefully is it as simple solution as that.

John ... I hope it is a quick and easy fix for you ...
Of not, can you 'SAVE' everything and then do a Factory Reset, see if it works and then reload?

Local off sounds like it is the problem... but, Make sure you do not have an expression pedal plugged into the wrong jack..

Gunnar, the keys are silent, and they also will not change a style to the next chord. There is no communication between keys and the rest of the keyboard. The only thing that plays when I select a style is the drums.
In loading and reloading I did hear a few notes when I played, but they stopped sounding after a few notes.

Gunnar thanks for your help. John C.

PS, where is the Local option???

Solomon, I think you may be right. Now how do I get to it?
Thanks, John C

John,
if look at page 80 point 7 in the usermanual, it will lead you to the Local ON/OFF function and where to find it or where go next.
If you can play midifiles or saved songs, and hear sound when playback by use of start/stop, and your keys are still silent, it most likely is the local control that is in off position.

Quote part of the text:
"The LOCAL ON/OFF setting on the MIXER
display is used to specify whether the part
assigned to that track sounds when it is played
on the keyboard......"

Like Gunnar said check your keyboard's Local On/Off setting as that will cause the issue you have. Make sure it is set to ON

I just took a look at the KN7000 manual it says "On the MIDI MENU display select PART SETTING". There is a LOCAL On\Off setting for RIGHT1 RIGHT2 and LEFT and they should all be ON for normal use. If they are ON then you may have a hardware issue. Though I would first try turning them OFF then back ON again.
