Well, your questions were very helpful...after some fiddling with my setup it seems that the problem does not lie with the Promega3 itself, it is somewhere in the amplification. I am very inexperienced with all things amplification, but I'll try to explain what's going on. I run my piano sound cables to an amp/mixer combo (a very old Yamaha, but it seems to work) and then to a set of speakers. I unplugged the cable that goes to the back of the piano and plugged in a new set of Sennheiser headphones I got for Christmas
As you may well have suspected, the vibrating noise was gone (and incidently, the piano sound was much better.) This isolated the problem to:
1) the Promega output jack
2) the mixer/amp
3) the speakers
4) or one of the cables
To further isolate the issue, I unplugged the speaker cables from the mixer/amp, plugged the headphones into the mixer/amp output, and once again routed a cable from the Promega3 to the mixer/amp. The problem again was no longer present. This meant that I could eliminate possibilies 1 and 2, there's obviously nothing wrong with the piano and probably not the amp either. I then tested each speaker individually hooked up to the mixer/amp, and found that the problem was actually only in one speaker, meaning that it was either that speaker or the cable going to it from the amp. I replaced the cable with one that I know is good and the problem still occurred, which left me with only the speaker, which is obviously blown or something, but at any rate at least I know I need to replace it.
So, in summary, thanks for asking the right questions and resolving my issue in the process. I still don't understand why it only does that on the one key, but I guess it doesn't matter. This all leads to me having more questions, and they follow:
1) What are some better amplification options that I have for the Promega? I normally just use my Promega in my living room (roughly a 20x20 ft. area) and will possibly be playing small gigs at coffee shops and very small venues, so I need a setup that will fit these situations. The 2 speakers on the ground next to the piano weren't really working that great anyway and as you know one of them is now blown.
2) I still would like to update the OS and have absolutely no clue on how to do this.
3)Right now I am just using a cheap Roland sustain pedal and I am interested in possibly upgrading to the 3-pedal Promega setup, but I was wondering what the advantages of this pedal would actually be given that I really only use the (fantastic) piano and Rhodes sounds, and don't fool with Midi or anything like that.
thanks again for your help
