I'm not familiar with a function called "key hold" though it sounds kind of like you're talking about a sustain pedal. If that's not what you mean, what is it exactly, and what are those analog and digital synths that have it?

Hi, the key hold button means that the next note/chord/arpeggio played plays continually until another note is played leaving your hands free to use other instruments. My other main instruments are a Roland jdxi a Roland GAIA and a triggering keyboard that plays (via midi)  using the soundcard of any of the instruments. Sorry if I haven't described that very well. 

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my query ,it's much appreciated. I am aware of the sustain button and use it quite a lot. I am using the mzx500 as the work station / amplifier/recording device for my network of analog and digital synthesizers. They all have a "key hold" function which is useful when using more than two machines at the same time. Also useful when using arpeggios, background  drones and noise effects. Anyway thanks again for your input . Much appreciated.

Hi all, I have not long been using a MZX 500. Can you tell me is there a key hold function on this keyboard?  Thanks

I have tried holding it down for every length of time (including 30 seconds and over) Still no luck.

Whenever I try to start it up, sometimes there is no response. I try again later and there is no problem.  It's a intermittent problem.

Hi all ,  I am new to this sight so I would appreciate your understanding and patience. I have recently bought an MZ-X 500. I can't always get it to start every time. Has anyone else had this problem?  How was it resolved ?   Thanking you in anticipation  

Hi all,   have had an MZX-500 for a couple of months now, every so often I have trouble getting it to come on . Has anyone had a similar problem, how did they solve it?   Thanks.
