There seems to be some type of strange envelope in the effects section of
the XK3 that is cutting off the piano signal after a couple of seconds. The
lowest note on the piano holds just fine but the high B is good for about 1
or 2 seconds before it abruptly cuts off.
I've checked the decay on the Motif and it lasts for many seconds like a
real piano. Once I run the Motif into the XK3 and monitor the XK# it
changes dramatically. Aside from that strange quirk it sounds great. But
not usable for me with that decay problem.
