If the Style does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is pressed on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, the Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data. Turn the [ACMP] button on and play the left-hand section on the keyboard to sound the accompaniment part of the Style.
Why is my Yamaha Musical Instrument sound distorted?
If the sound from your Yamaha Musical Instrument is distorted or noisy, it could be due to the volume being set too high. Ensure that all volume settings are at appropriate levels. Alternatively, certain effects or filter settings might be causing the distortion. Check these settings and adjust them accordingly.
What to do if only rhythm channel plays on Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If only the rhythm channel is playing on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, ensure that the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on by pressing the [ACMP] button. Also, make sure you are playing keys in the chord section of the keyboard. Finally, check if the Track Mute function has been assigned to the LIVE CONTROL knob(s) and reset the value if necessary.
Why don't all notes sound on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If not all simultaneously played notes sound on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, you are likely exceeding the instrument's maximum polyphony. When this happens, the earliest played notes will stop sounding to allow the latest played notes to be heard.
How to adjust keyboard volume relative to song volume on Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If the keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback volume on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, the volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Increase the volume in the BALANCE display.
Why does song playback stop early on Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If song playback stops before the song is finished on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, the Guide function may be turned on. If this is the case, playback is waiting for the correct key to be played. Press the [GUIDE] button to turn off the Guide function.
Why can't I select songs on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If songs cannot be selected on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, it may be because the language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the Song file name. Alternatively, if the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the Song cannot be selected because the data is too large to be handled by the instrument.
What to do if main display doesn't appear on Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If the Main display does not appear even when turning the power on for your Yamaha Musical Instrument, this may occur if a USB flash drive has been installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB flash drives may result in a long interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the device.
Why won't my Yamaha Musical Instrument play songs?
If song playback does not start on your Yamaha Musical Instrument, the song may have been stopped at the end of the song data. Return to the beginning of the song by pressing the SONG [J] (STOP) button. In the case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied, there are some restrictions and playback may not be possible.
