Hi ,

I also have the same problem with GW 8. The styles play erratically and suddenly and all keys get jammed. Have you found out the reason or got it fixed ?

Hummm...Seems to be a losen ribbon cable, but could be a board malfunction...
If it is still under warranty, have it serviced. If not, maybe it will be worthy to open it and to have a look inside for any losen ribbons...

Thanks Paulo !
I have got it checked and apparently the ribbons are alright. I was told that 95 % chance that this is a jackboard problem. It is under warranty,let's see if they replace the jackboard.

I experienced problems like this with the Roland EV-7 connected.

Disconnected it, and they all went away.
