  If your Korg Musical Instrument isn't producing any sound, here are a few things to check: * Ensure that your amp or mixer connections are correctly set up. * Verify that all components of your amplifying system are powered on. * Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider of the Pa80 is not set to “0”. * Confirm that the Local parameter is set to On, not Off. * Also, ensure the Speaker parameter is set to On, not Off. * If the Attack parameter value is too high, set it to a lower value to allow the sound to start faster. Additionally, check if the Volume parameter is too low and increase it if necessary. Finally, check if a jack is connected to the HEADPHONES connector, as this disables the internal speakers.

  If the selected Style or Song on your Korg Musical Instrument cannot start, make sure that the Clock parameter is set to Int. If you are using the MIDI Clock of another device, you must set the MIDI Clock parameter to MIDI or PC TO HOST (depending on the port the Pa80 is hooked to the other device through) and make sure that the external device transmits MIDI Clock data.
