Why is there no sound from the
piano?
® The MONITOR LEVEL slider or LINE
LEVEL slider is at MIN. -
* Headphones are connecied to the
PHONES jack.
* The Local function is turned off (refer
to MIDI Modes, page 20).
* Power to any connected MIDI equip-
ment is off.
Why does the Soft effect not work
when the pedal is connected to the
SOFT jack?
* The SOFT jack can provide one of
three effects: Soft, Sostenuto or
Expression. Ensure that Pedal mode
number 1 (Soft) has been selected.
Refer to page 12 for pedal mode
selection.
® The wrong type of pedal is being
used. An expression (volume) pedal
will not be able to function as a Soft
pedal (and vice versa).
Where is the data recorded in the
Recorder?
* Data recorded in the Recorder will
only be retained for approximately 24
hours. After this period of time, the data
will disappear and cannot be recov-
ered. To store performances indefi-
nitely, you will need to store them on
floppy disk using a sequencer. Refer to
the MIDI Guide starting on page 24.
* The data may have been inadvertently
erased. Pressing REC and PLAY
simultaneously will erase a recorded
‘performance.

Why do notes sound at an incorrect
pitch?
* The pitch is transposed. Set the
transpose function to '0' (no transpo-
sition). Refer to page 17.
OR
Turn the piano off for a moment and
then on again (the default setting [no
pitch transposition] will be automati-
cally selected).
Why does the pitch of the piano not
match that of ISM products?
® When shipped, ISM products are set
with middle A at 442 Hz. If you are
using these products with your piano,
use the tuning knob on the piano to
set middle A to 442 Hz (refer to page
19).
Why do notes sound twice when
using a sequencer?
* The Local setting of the piano is ON.
Notes sound once trom the piano
itself and again from the same
messages transmitted back to the
piano from the sequencer, Turn the
Local setting OFF (refer to page 20).
For further information about MIDI,
refer to the MIDI Guide (page 24).
Why is the volume of an instrument
(or microphone) connected to the
INPUT jacks so low?
® The INPUT LEVEL knob is not properly
adjusted. If you have connected another
piano to the INPUT jacks, for example,
rotate the INPUT LEVEL knob towards
LINE. lf you have connected a micro-
phone to the INPUT jacks, rotate the
knob towards MIC.
The output (volume) of the other piano
is too low.
