Troubleshooting
Audio output
111
Can’t turn on the FAVORITES button
□ Could the AUDIO RECORDER SETUP button be on?
No response when you press the STEP SEQ button
□ Is FAVORITES turned on?
The STEP SEQ button is temporarily used to operate the
step sequencer when FAVORITES is on.
In Combination, or Sequencer mode, you can’t edit the
value of Timbre/Track parameters such as MIDI Channel or
Status
□ Some parameters can’t be edited while notes are playing,
either locally or from MIDI. If the damper pedal is held
down, or if its calibration is incorrect, notes may be
sustaining even if they aren’t audible.
• Are you using a damper pedal with a polarity that does
not match the
Damper Polarity setting (G-INPUT/
CTRL> FOOT page)? → p.20
• In some cases, this problem can be solved be executing
the
Half Damper Calibration function (GLOBAL>
BASIC page). → PG p.176
Audio output
No sound
□ Are connections
made correctly to your amp, mixer, or
headphones? → p.18
□ Is the connected amp or mixer powered-on, and is its
volume raised?
□ Is Local Control turned on?
• In G-MIDI> BASIC, check the
Local Control On check
box. → p.99
□ Could the VOLUME knob be turned all the way to the
left? → p.1
□ Is the Master Volume assigned to
Foot Pedal, and is that
pedal volume lowered? → p.21
□ Could the program be muted? → p.28
□ If a specific timbre does not sound in Combination mode,
is the Sound setting set to Play? → p.44
Are all of the Solo settings turned off? → p.44
□ If a specific track does not sound in Sequencer mode, is
the Sound setting set to Play? Are all of the Sound
settings turned off? → p.53
□ Make sure that the
Status is INT or BTH. → p.47, 54
□ Are the Key Zone and Velocity Zone set so that sound
will be produced when you play? → PG p.8, 79, 118
□ Are the Oscillator, Drum Track, Timbre,
or Track levels
lowered in the control surface mixer? → p.28, 44, 53
□ Could the total polyphony be exceeding the maximum
polyphony of 120 voices? → p.31
□ Is Hold (P-BASIC> NOTE-ON page) turned off?
→ PG p.9
□ In G-INPUT/CTRL> FOOT, make sure that
Damper
Polarity or
Foot Switch Polarity is set correctly. → p.20
□ If the DRUM TRACK or ARP buttons are turned on, try
turning them off.
Notes are sounded in duplicate
□ Is Local Control turned Off?
• Clear the
Local Control On checkbox
(G-MIDI> BASIC). → p.99
Noise or oscillation is heard
□ When you’re applying an effect to an external audio input
signal from the MIC IN jack or LINE in jack, unwanted
oscillation (feedback) may occur depending on the type
of effect or the parameter settings. If this occurs, adjust
the external audio signal’s input level, output level, or
effect parameters. Take care especially when using high-
gain effects.
□ When using the MIDI/Tempo Sync function to control
the delay
time of an effect, noise may occur in the delay
sound. This noise is due to discontinuities in the delay
sound, and is not a malfunction.
□ Some effects, such as S19: St. Analog Record, generate
noise intentionally. It is also possible to create oscillation
using a filter with resonance. These are not malfunctions.
□ Note that if you use the following effects with the routing
described below, a feedback loop will be created,
possibly producing a loud noise. Please use caution.
If the signal from an oscillator or timbre/track output, or
the signal after an insert effect, is sent to the FX Control
bus and that signal is output directly, with this output sent
to the FX Control bus, a loud noise may be output. (It is
also possible that a DC component
will be output at the
maximum level, producing silence.)
• When using the S03: Stereo Limiter or S06: Stereo Gate,
and the
Env Src (Envelope Source) of these effects is set
as either FX Control 1 or FX Control 2, and
Trigger
Monitor is On.
• When using D09: Vocoder, with the
Mod. Src
(Modulator Source) set to FX Control 1 or FX Control 2,
and the
Mod. Hi Mix (Modulator High Mix) set to other
than 0.
Can’t play chords
□ Could the program’s
Voice Assign Mode be set to Mono?
→ p.31
Pitch is incorrect
• In the GLOBAL> BASIC page, are the
Master Tune
and
Key Transpose settings correct? → p.97
• In the P-PITCH> BASIC page, is the
Pitch Slope set to
+1.0? → PG p.15
• In the combination or song, are the
Transpose and
Detune settings of each timbre/track set appropriately?
→ p.48 and PG p.117
• In the timbre/track settings
of each program,
combination, or song, could you have selected a non-
standard scale type other than Equal Temperament?
→ p.48 and PG p.10, 78, 118
Audio input
Can’t input audio
□ Is the input source connected to the MIC IN jack or the
LINE IN jack? → p.18
□ Is the AUDIO IN button turned on? → p.19
□ Is the Line or Mic input selection correct?
Appendices
112
• Line and Mic cannot both be input simultaneously. In the
AUDIO IN - QUICK SETTING dialog box, use the
Select setting to choose either Line or Mic. → p.19
□ Are the audio input parameters such as Level, Gain, Play/
Mute, and Bus set appropriately?
• In the AUDIO IN - QUICK SETTING dialog box, select
Line or Mic and check the parameter settings. → p.19
The principal parameters have the following default
values.
Level: 127
Play/Mute: Play
Gain: 00 (Line), 37 (Gain)
Bus: L/R
Too much noise or distortion in the audio input or in the
recorded sound
□ Is the Gain set correctly?
• In the AUDIO IN - QUICK SETTING dialog box, if the
[LINE] or [MIC] indication in the middle of the level
meter is highlighted, the Gain setting is too high, and an
overload is occurring in the input stage. Lower the Gain
value until this indication is not highlighted. → p.19
• Conversely if the Gain setting is too low, the
meter will
not move very much. Adjust the Gain value upward.
→ p.19
Programs and Combinations
Settings for oscillator 2 are not displayed
□ Make sure that the
OSC (Oscillator Mode) (P-BASIC>
BASIC) parameter is set to Double or Double Drums.
→ p.31
Program does not sound
□ Could the oscillator or amp level be lowered?
→ p.28, 32, 38
□ Could the program be muted?
• Switch the Sound in the PROG> MIXER page for a
program, or in the COMBI> MIXER page for a
combination.
A combination does not play correctly after you load data
□ Are the bank/numbers of the programs used by the
combination the same as when the combination was
created?
Can’t write a Program
□ Is the Memory Protect
Program or
Combination
checkbox (GLOBAL> SYSTEM) cleared? → p.98
□ Banks A–D and bank U have restrictions on the
categories and banks that allow saving. → p.102
A program selected for a timbre in a combination sounds
different than when played in Program mode
□ When you select a program for a timbre in Combination
mode, the arpeggiator and effect settings from Program
mode are not automatically applied.
• You can use the Copy From Program, Copy Insert
Effect, or Copy Master Effect functions to copy these
settings from Program mode. → PG p.139, 151, 151
Sequencer
A program selected for a track sounds different than when
played in Program mode
□ When you select a program for a track in Sequencer
mode, the arpeggiator and effect settings from Program
mode are not automatically applied.
• You can use the Copy From Program, Copy Insert
Effect, or Copy Master Effect functions to copy these
settings from Program mode. → PG p.139, 151, 151
Song does not play correctly after being loaded
□ Are the programs used by the song the same as when the
song was created?
• When saving the song, it is best to use
Save All
(PCG&SNG) so that the programs are saved together
with the song. Then when loading, load both the .PCG
and the .SEQ data. → p.108
Playback does not start when you press the SEQUENCER
START/STOP (
) button in Sequencer mode
□ Is the
MIDI Clock (G-MIDI> BASIC) set to Internal or
Auto? → p.99
Can’t record in Sequencer mode
□ Did you use
Track Select to select the MIDI track that
you want to record? → p.56
□ Is the Memory Protect
Song check box (GLOBAL>
SYSTEM) unchecked? → p.98
□ Is the
MIDI Clock (G-MIDI> BASIC) set to Internal or
Auto? → p.99
A combination copied using “Copy From Combination”
doesn’t record via arpeggiator as it did when you were
playing it in Combination mode
□ Is
Multi REC (SEQ> MAIN) checked? → p.57 and
PG p.109
□ Are the settings in the Copy from Combination dialog
box correct? → PG p.138
• In the Copy from Combination dialog box, check the
Auto adjust Arp setting for Multi REC option before
you execute the copy. This will cause the settings to be
adjusted automatically.
Can’t record Tone Adjust data
□ Changes you make using Tone Adjust are recorded as
system exclusive data. Did you check the G-MIDI>
FILTER
Enable Exclusive check box? → PG p.163
SMF you loaded in Media mode won’t play correctly
□ Execute the
GM Initialize function to restore the
settings. → PG p.141
□ Set
Bank Map to GM(2) and load the data again.
→ PG p.158
