Troubleshooting
●
Problem Possible Cause
Sound is distorted • Is replay volume exceeding the clip level? Try
pressing [–1] to lower the digital volume. Note that
reducing the level with the volume slider will not
correct this problem. Clipping is most likely to oc-
cur when you play many pads together, or when
you change filter settings.
• Volume may have exceeded clip level at time of
recording. (→ page 33)
• Use of resonance during FILTER play may some-
times cause distortion. Try reducing the resonance
level.
• Batteries may be low. Replace batteries or con-
nect a PA-3B or PA-1B power adaptor.
• Polyphony may be too low. Use of HI grade or
SCALE, SCRATCH, FILTER, or other special play
features causes polyphony to drop. Remember also
that a stereo sample counts as two sounds. (→ page
26)
• Check samples’ alternate-group settings. Samples
in the same group cannot play together. (→ page
44)
• Certain play features are not available while sam-
pling grade is set to HI or STD. You can correct the
problem by going to the Rec utility and changing
the Grade setting accordingly. (→ page 26)
SONGS
• A song is a recorded sequence of pad play. Edit-
ing, deletion, or replacement of samples used by
the song will cause a change in the song sound.
(→ page 37)
• Song sound may vary according to the point from
which song is started. See page 28 and 37 for ad-
vice about song playback and recording.
• Song play is subject to the same polyphony restric-
tions as pad play. Using special play features
(SCALE, SCRATCH, etc.) or combining pad play
with song play may cause sounds to drop out.
