Troubleshooting
Please check the following points if you experience problems.
Power does not turn on
• Is the AC adapter plugged into the AC outlet?
• If you are using batteries, are the batteries installed correctly, and are they still holding a
charge?
No sound
• Have you correctly connected the jacks of this keyboard to your powered monitor amp or head-
phones?
• Is the powered monitor amp or similar equipment to which the keyboard is connected turned
on, and is the volume turned up so that you can hear it?
• Is the VOLUME knob set to a level at which you can hear the sound?
• Is the Local Control (LocalCtrl) setting on the MIDI page set to “ON”?
• Make sure that the parameters related to volume are not set to “0”.
• If the FILTER Type is set to “LP”, make sure that the Cutoff parameter is not set to “0”.
• Check whether the Env Follower Sens (E.F.Sens) parameter is not set to “HOLD” even though
there is no input from the MIC IN CONDENSER or DYNAMIC jacks.
Cannot input sound
• Have you connected a mic to the MIC IN CONDENSER or MIC IN DYNAMIC jack?
• Have you connected an input source to the AUX IN jack?
• If you’ve connected a mic to the MIC IN CONDENSER or MIC IN DYNAMIC jack, make sure the
MIC knob level is not at the minimum setting.
• Is the audio that you want to use as a modulator for the vocoder being input to the mic that’s
connected to the MIC IN CONDENSER or DYNAMIC jack?
• Note that if you’ve connected a mic to both the MIC IN CONDENSER and DYNAMIC jacks, the
audio input from the CONDENSER jack takes priority and the input from the DYNAMIC jack is
disabled.
Mic input sound is distorting
• Use the MIC knob to adjust the volume of the sound after digital signal processing. If the sound
is distorted, try vocalizing softer or adjust your distance from the mic, so that the sound
doesn’t distort.
Sounds cannot be edited
• If you can’t edit timbre 2 for a program, make sure that Timbre Mode (Timb Mode) in VOICE is
not set to “Dual”.
• If you can’t edit either timbre 1 or 2 for a program, check whether the TIMBRE 1/2 LEDs for the
timbre you want to edit are lit up.
• If the program you want to edit is no longer available, you might have turned the power off
before writing the program to memory. Note that the edited program settings are discarded
when you select another program. Write your edited program to save its settings before turn-
ing off the power or switching programs.
Arpeggiator doesn’t start playing
• Is the arpeggiator on? (The LED of the ON button should be lit.)
• Is the Clock Source (ClockSrc) setting on the MIDI page set correctly?
