Unrelated Note getting triggered on M-Audio AXIOM 61

The controller potentiometer is either bad or loose. You gotta get in there and change the thing. Get a Tech.

Hi try this if correct for you https://img.musicworld.bg/pdf/i/2/5/3/25352/AxiomPro_Manual_EN.pdf
Also YouTube has some people so may be you could ask after reading the instructions as it may be just an update required.
No such thing as a Newb we all start from base so you are a rung up now good luck and please reply as it can help others

Does your keyboard have a "MIDI OUT" port? If yes, then
there is a selection to choose between USB or MIDI OUT port.
For my M-AUDIO oxygen 61 (silver), I must press the [Advanced] button then Note F3 on the music keys manual to toggle the MIDI-OUT.
If set to INT, it will not sent via USB. If set to USB it will not send via MIDI-OUT port. To use MIDI-OUT port I need external 12V DC adapter.

Susan Sylvia is exactly right. I just fixed my tool with her information. I would add to be very careful not to disturb the 2 small springs(associated with the trigger and safety mechanisms) and take note of how they are positioned. Also, the screws seem to strip unusually easily so be gentle when removing and replacing them.

What ID number? Are you trying to find a replacement? There are only 2 kinds used in a 2006 Freestar - with a message center (6F2Z-10849-BB) and without the message center (6F2Z-10849-BB)

NOTE: If the instrument cluster is replaced, the new one must be programmed to work with your engine computer or the engine will not run - it will go into theft-protect mode.

Getting it out is very easy:
1. Disable the Supplemental Restraint System
2. Tilt the steering column to the lowest position
3. Remove the steering column cover
4. Remove the instrument cluster finish panel
5. Remove the screw and disconnect the cable for the shift indicator
6. Remove instrument cluster screws
7. Disconnect the instrument cluster wiring connector
8. Remove instrument cluster
9. Reverse procedure to install

Where do you see the error about USB, on the Axiom display or on your computer? Can you give me the exact error? Is the Axiom connected directly into the computer or into a USB hub? (My Axiom 49 only works connected directly) Try restarting both the computer AND the Axiom with ONLY the Axiom plugged in.

The AXIOM SHOULD turn on with just the wall wart adapter so you HAVE A PROBLEM.

First thing is to check the adapter that it is the correct one. It should be a 12 VDC 1 amp unit with positive center pin output.

Common adapters for pedals WILL NOT WORK.

Assuming you have the correct adapter, VERIFY the connector is plugged fully in the AXIOM.

Thisis hard to troubleshoot... The keyboard insynths are usually scanned as a matrix... If a disconnect diode has failed, then wrong notes can be triggered. There is USUALLY rows of the diodes on the circuit board where the keys hit. There are usually TWO contacts per key in order to sense key velocity. The lkey contacts are usually conductive rubber pills pressed against circuit traces under the keys. One sometimes needs to clean these contacts using 99% isoprophyl alcohol and Q tips.
I would do further testing of ALL combinations of notes played together to see if possibly any others show up as that could point to a particular failure.

take it apart, wipe up any remaining water and let it air dry for 24hrs. Put it back tgether and see if it works. If it does you're lucky, if not start taking apart your wallet to fix it. HTH.

Hi there
To better the chances of getting the right answer you should give the brand name and model# of your keyboard, it might also change the classification of your question(it is now posted under receiver).
But without having these info;
Have you tried to disconnect your sustain pedal, it might help you narrow the source of your problem.
And finally for your last question;
When an answer is posted you will receive an email with a link to your question at the address you left.
But you may already know that by now.
Hope this help Happy holidays
