How to fix distorted sounds on my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard?
If the sounds from your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard are distorted, the parameters used to distort the sound may have been set. On the reface CS, change the OSC, resonance, or distortion effect settings; on the reface DX, change modulator values or distortion effect settings; on the reface CP, change the [DRIVE] knob setting; on the reface YC, change the DIST setting.
Why are some sounds not playing on my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard?
If your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard isn't producing certain sounds, or the sound output is intermittent, here are some things to check: * The maximum number of sounds that can be produced by the Phrase Looper might have been exceeded; use the instrument in such a way that the maximum number of simultaneous sounds is not exceeded. * The playing mode might be set to “MONO”; switch the playing mode from “MONO” to “POLY” to play multiple notes at the same time. * Only the [16’] FOOTAGE slider is lowered, and the [OCTAVE] slider is also lowered, in which condition notes are too low to be produced; raise the [OCTAVE] slider. * With the H-type organ, lowering the [1’] FOOTAGE slider does not cause organ sounds to be produced, instead, it produces only percussion sounds; this is normal.
How to stop my Yamaha Reface CS Electronic Keyboard from turning off automatically?
If your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard is turning off unexpectedly, it's likely because the Auto Power-Off function is enabled. If you don't want this to happen, you can deactivate the Auto Power-Off function.
What to do if sounds keep playing on my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard?
If sounds are continuing without end on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, consider these possibilities: * The Release (R) setting from the EG section might be too high; lower the [R] slider from the EG section. * The delay’s depth might be set too high; lower the delay depth. * The Phrase Looper might be playing a loop phrase; pause or stop the Phrase Looper. * The depth for D.DELAY or A.DELAY might be set too high; lower the D.DELAY or A.DELAY depth.
