Why my Korg PA800 Synthesizer does not respond to MIDI messages?
If your Korg Synthesizer isn't responding to MIDI messages, verify that all MIDI or USB cables are correctly connected. Also, ensure the external device is transmitting on MIDI channels enabled to receive in the Pa800, and that the MIDI IN Filters of the Pa800 are not preventing the reception of messages.
How to fix Korg Synthesizer when power does not turn on?
If your Korg Synthesizer isn't powering on, ensure the power cable is securely plugged into both the outlet and the back of the instrument, and that the cable is undamaged. Also, check that the power switch is turned ON. If it still doesn't turn on, it is advisable to contact your dealer or the nearest KORG Service Center.
What to do if there is no sound from my Korg Synthesizer?
If you're not getting any sound from your Korg Synthesizer, here are a few things to check: * Ensure nothing is plugged into the HEADPHONES connector, as this disables the internal speakers. * Verify the connections to your amplifier or mixer. * Confirm that all components of your sound system are powered on. * Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is not set to “0”. * Make sure the Local and Speaker parameters are turned On. * Adjust the Attack parameter to a lower value if it’s too high, and increase the Volume parameter if it’s too low.
What to do if the selected Style or Song cannot start on my Korg Musical Instrument?
Make sure that the Clock parameter is set to Internal. If you are using the MIDI Clock of another device, you must set the MIDI Clock parameter to MIDI or USB (depending on the port the Pa800 is hooked to the other device through) and make sure that the external device transmits MIDI Clock data.
What to do if my Korg Musical Instrument has no sound?
First, check if a jack is connected to the HEADPHONES connector, as this disables the internal speakers. Then, check the connections to your amp or mixer and ensure all components of the amplifying system are powered on. Also, verify that the MASTER VOLUME slider of the Pa800 is not set to '0'. Finally, check if the Local and Speaker parameters are set to On, and that the Attack parameter value isn't too high, and the Volume parameter isn't too low.
