Is it possibly a data transmission error? I understand the kbd uses old-style DIN MIDI connectors. What is at the computer end? Is it a MIDI-USB dongle? Some of these are not known for their reliability, I believe. If you strike the same key repeatedly, do you see any other anomalies, for example pitch errors? The channel ID is included in each note on and note off channel voice message, so the kbd is not actually switching channel in the conventional sense, but message appears to be getting corrupted.
