Troubleshooting Programs and Combinations
261
If there is no sound in Program, Combination, and
Sequencer modes, check that Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.), and
Level are set correctly in Global P0: Basic Setup– Audio
page; or in the P0: Sampling pages of Program,
Combination, or Sequencer modes.
On the 0–8: Audio Input/Sampling page, is the Use Global
Setting parameter set correctly?
Analog audio inputs
If you are using AUDIO INPUT 1 and/or 2, make sure that
the AUDIO INPUT LEVEL knobs are raised.
If you are using AUDIO INPUT 1 and/or 2, are the
MIC/LINE switches set appropriately?
S/P DIF input
If you are using the S/P DIF IN, is the input signal in an
unsupported format?
• Please make sure that the connected digital audio device
is compatible with CP-1201 or S/P DIF. ADAT format is
not supported.
Is the S/P DIF device set to a compatible sample rate?
• Only 48 kHz sampling rate is supported. If the connected
device is using an unsupported rate, you may hear noise,
and the message “CLOCK ERROR!” may appear.
Noise or distortion on audio inputs or recorded
sound
If you are recording from audio inputs 1 and/or 2, are the
AUDIO INPUT LEVEL knobs and Recording Level
settings appropriate?
• If Recording Level shows “ADC OVERLOAD !,”
adjust the LEVEL knob. If “CLIP !” is displayed, adjust
the Recording Level slider.
If you are recording from the S/P DIF or USB inputs, are the
level of the output device and the Recording Level set
appropriately?
• If “CLIP !” appears, adjust the Recording Level slider.
Is the system clock set correctly?
• If cyclic click noise is occurring, check that you have
selected the System Clock that is being input.
After sampling or sample edits
After a sample edit has been executed, or after a stereo
sample has been recorded, a small noise may be heard. This
has no effect on the audio data that was edited or sampled.
Noise or oscillation with effects
When using an effect on external audio inputs, oscillation
may occur depending on the type of effect or on the
parameter settings. Please adjust the input level, output level,
and effect parameters. You need to be particularly careful
when using a high-gain effect.
When using the MIDI/Tempo Sync function to control the
delay time of an effect, noise may occur in the delay sound.
This noise is due to discontinuities in the delay sound, and is
not a malfunction.
Some effects, such as 023: Stereo Analog Record, generate
noise intentionally. It is also possible to create oscillation
using a filter with resonance. These are not malfunctions.
Disk access noise is heard in the analog outputs
Check that the electrical grounding is correct for the
KRONOS and all connected audio equipment, and remove
any ground loops.
Notes do not stop
In Program P1: Basic/Vector, select the Program Basic page,
make sure that the Hold check box is unchecked.
Could you have used Tone Adjust to turn Hold on?
In Global P2: Controllers/Scales, make sure that Damper
Polarity or Foot Switch Polarity is set correctly.
Sound fades in and out
If an option is in demo mode, any sound which uses the
option will fade in and out.
Programs and Combinations
Program or Combination does not play
correctly
Preloaded programs don’t play correctly.
Does the “Samples Not Loaded” message appear? If so, is
the required sample data loaded?
• Use the Load required samples menu command on the
P0:Play page. For more information, see “Load required
samples” on page 149 of the Parameter Guide.
• Alternatively, in Global mode, use the Auto-Load KSC
feature to load the PRELOAD.KSC file. For more
information, see “Automatically loading sample data” on
page 174.
Settings for oscillator 2 are not displayed
Make sure that the Oscillator Mode (Program P1:
Basic/Vector) parameter is set to Double.
EXi2–related settings are not displayed
On the Basic/Vector page, is there an EXi instrument
selected for EXi2? For more information, see “EXi 2
Instrument Type” on page 171 of the Parameter Guide.
Reverse can’t be enabled
If a Multisample or Drumsample is loaded using Virtual
Memory, Reverse cannot be enabled.
• Use the Global P0: Sample Management page to change
the Multisample or Drumsample’s Load Method to
RAM.
