i Troubleshooting
If your unit is not providing the expected response, check
through the following for a ready solution.
* Power Doesn't Come On
Make sure the power cord is connected properly (both the plug
going to this unit and the one at the outlet).
* Sound Not Preduced :
Recheck that power is indeed switched on — on this unit as well
as any other devices (keyboard amp, mixer, etc.).
Could the volume be turned down too low on this unit, or on
your keyboard amp, mixer, or other device?
Are all your cable connected properly?
Could any of the cables possibly be faulty?
Check settings for “Level” (p. 4) to make sure they are not at “0.”
Could the volume possibly have been lowered by MIDI mes-
sages sent to the unit by another device (such as Controller
Number 7 or 11)?
Have you checked to make sure that the channel number being
used by the keyboard or sequencer for transmission is the same
as what this unit is set to be receiving on?
Could you futility be trying to play while a Demo is playing?
Have you checked that relevant Parts are not set to be muted?
Could you be sending an invalid Bank Select message?
° Reverb/Chorus Not Obtained
Could the Master setting for Reverb or Chorus be set to “oFF”?
Are you sure that the Part Param 1 settings for Reverb or Chorus
are not set to a value that is too low?
* Distortion or Other Noise Is Heard
Is the volume at a suitable level on this unit, or on your keyboard
amp, mixer, or other device?
Could you possibly be using an excessively high level for this
unit's Level (p. 4) and Master Level? (These settings are alterable
only through System Exclusive messages.)
Have the Output or Phones jacks gotten very dirty?
¢ Pitch Is Strange
Are the settings for Key Shift (p. 4) and Tune (p. 5) appropriate?
Are Pitch Bend messages being constantly sent to the unit?
* Sound Doesn’t Change
Could you have Prog Chg or Bank Sel (p. 5) switched off?
If sending Bank Select messages and/or Program Change mes-
sage, make sure you are sending them in the correct order.
° Multiple Sounds Heard at the Same Time
Check the channels you have assigned to Parts. The same chan-
nel could be assigned to more than one Part.
* Notes Get Dropped
The maximum polyphony of the unit is 28 notes. Not all notes
can be played if you attempt to sound more than this at the same
time. To avoid having voices stolen from your most important
Parts, use the (Voice) Assign setting to reserve a minimum num-
ber of voices for those Parts you want to sound.
* Patch Table 2 Not Obtained With GM System
On or GS Reset
Make sure the “Sys Ex” setting (a switch for enabling reception
of System Exclusive messages) is not set at “OFF.”
