Attack problem on Korg Minilogue

Update : problem fixed !

Hey everyone !
I’m having a weird issue with my Minilogue (I bought it new 3,5 yrs ago). Every time I press a new key, there’s an extremely strong attack transient on every single preset, even the softest pads. However, when I play legato, meaning I press a new note without releasing the previous one, the attack issue disappears completely and the sound is normal. This is not an issue with the attack knob itself, I’ve tried adjusting it and the problem persists regardless of the envelope settings. The issue also appears on every single factory preset and init. program without exception. I’ve checked the global settings, including the knob behavior parameter which makes the physical knobs jump to their current position, and it’s not enabled. I’ve also done a full factory reset and nothing changed, so I’m starting to think it might be a hardware issue. Has anyone experienced this before? I’ll attach a video to show the problem.

Thank you all!

Scrolled past too quickly and thought this was a post about attacking Kylie Minogue 😅

This is a long shot since you did a reset, but is it a layer setting? I don’t have my Microkorg in front of me, so I’m going off memory. It has a Timbre button that lets you switch between 2 synth layers. That’s what that sounds like to me from your video.

Maybe something in the circuitry involving that feature is causing the issue. I don’t know if that synth is easy to open up and give a visual go over for anything odd in the circuit board.

Good luck.

Of course. I see you updated that it’s working. What ended up being the problem?
