Basic operation (screen and
functions)
Can’t change modes or pages
□ Could the sequencer be recording, playing, paused, or in
the record-ready state?
□ Could the function dialog box be displayed? You can’t
change modes while a function dialog box such as
WRITE PROGRAM is open.
Can’t turn on the LAYER/SPLIT button
□ Is Program mode selected? These functions can’t be used
outside of Program mode.
In Combination, or Sequencer mode, you can’t edit the
value of Timbre/Track parameters such as MIDI Channel or
Status
□ Some parameters can’t be edited while notes are playing,
either locally or from MIDI. If the damper pedal is held
down, or if its calibration is incorrect, notes may be
sustaining even if they aren’t audible.
• Are you using a damper pedal with a polarity that does
not match the Damper Polarity setting (G-INPUT/
CTRL> FOOT page)? → p.23
• In some cases, this problem can be solved be executing
the Half Damper Calibration function (GLOBAL>
BASIC page). → PG p.177
Audio output
No sound
□ Are connections made correctly to your amp, mixer, or
headphones? → p.21
□ Is the connected amp or mixer powered-on, and is its
volume raised?
□ Is Local Control turned on?
• In G-MIDI> BASIC, check the Local Control On check
box. → p.117
□ Could the VOLUME knob be turned all the way to the
left? → p.2
□ Is the Master Volume assigned to Foot Pedal, and is that
pedal volume lowered? → p.24
□ Could the program be muted? → p.32
□ If a specific timbre does not sound in Combination mode,
is the Sound setting set to Play? → p.48
Are all of the Solo settings turned off? → p.48
□ If a specific track does not sound in Sequencer mode, is
the Sound setting set to Play? Are all of the Sound
settings turned off? → p.57
□ Make sure that the Status is INT or BTH. → p.51, 59
□ Are the Key Zone and Velocity Zone set so that sound
will be produced when you play? → PG p.8, 79, 118
□ Are the Oscillator, Drum Track, Timbre, or Track levels
lowered in the control surface mixer? → p.32, 48, 57
□ Could the total polyphony be exceeding the maximum
polyphony of 120 voices? → p.36
Notes do not stop
□ Is Hold (P-BASIC> NOTE-ON page) turned off?
→ PG p.9
□ In G-INPUT/CTRL> FOOT, make sure that Damper
Polarity or Foot SW Polarity is set correctly. → p.23
□ If the DRUM TRACK or ARP buttons are turned on, try
turning them off.
Notes are sounded in duplicate
□ Is Local Control turned Off?
• Clear the Local Control On checkbox
(G-MIDI> BASIC). → p.117
Noise or oscillation is heard
□ When you’re applying an effect to an external audio input
signal from the MIC IN jack or LINE in jack, unwanted
oscillation (feedback) may occur depending on the type
of effect or the parameter settings. If this occurs, adjust
the external audio signal’s input level, output level, or
effect parameters. Take care especially when using high-
gain effects.
□ 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 S19: St. Analog Record, generate
noise intentionally. It is also possible to create oscillation
using a filter with resonance. These are not malfunctions.
□ Note that if you use the following effects with the routing
described below, a feedback loop will be created,
possibly producing a loud noise. Please use caution.
If the signal from an oscillator or timbre/track output, or
the signal after an insert effect, is sent to the FX Control
bus and that signal is output directly, with this output sent
to the FX Control bus, a loud noise may be output. (It is
also possible that a DC component will be output at the
maximum level, producing silence.)
• When using the S03: Stereo Limiter or S06: Stereo Gate,
and the Env Src (Envelope Source) of these effects is set
as either FX Control 1 or FX Control 2, and Trigger
Monitor is On.
• When using D09: Vocoder, with the Mod. Src
(Modulator Source) set to FX Control 1 or FX Control 2,
and the Mod. Hi Mix (Modulator High Mix) set to other
than 0.
Can’t play chords
□ Could the program’s Voice Assign Mode be set to Mono?
→ p.36
Pitch is incorrect
• In the GLOBAL> BASIC page, are the Master Tune
and Key Transpose settings correct? → p.115
• In the P-PITCH> BASIC page, is the Pitch Slope set to
+1.0? → PG p.15
• In the combination or song, are the Transpose and
Detune settings of each timbre/track set appropriately?
→ p.52 and PG p.117
• In the timbre/track settings of each program,
combination, or song, could you have selected a non-
standard scale type other than Equal Temperament?
→ p.52 and PG p.10, 78, 118
