My Korg M50 88 has been freezing consistently since I got it. I finally found out that the capacitors had to be changed which they were by a Korg ( South Africa) approved technician. It was fine for 5 days. It has just started freezing again. I have to reboot it and it goes for a while till it freezes again. The pattern is that the freezing gets progressively more frequent until it freezes within a few seconds of switching on, every time. I really don't know what to do anymore.

SOURCE: I'm looking to get the pre-set patterns to play on my Korg DDD-5

A demo on YouTube shows the owner pressing one of the buttons on the left side to select possibly a bank as well as the start.. I could NOT find a manual online to download.

It may not be the pedals as the fault can be oriented within the set.
So I think you can open the back of the set and check for all connections to be tight , remove and refit.
If this wont solve it is not adviseable to check this higly intergrated PCB without a help. So consult the Korg service.

Refer to page 222 in your PA800 user manual regarding calibrating the polarity of the damper pedal. The setting in your unit MAY have gotten clobbered.
It is NOT clear if you have a PA800 or M50-88. If you have the latter, then read page 22 of your user manual where it says in certain modes the sustain can be set to affect only certain voices. Again, see if internal parmeter settings may have been clobbered to disable the sustain.
