1. Trouble shooting
Before you suspect a malfunction, please check the following points.
Power does not turn on
Is the AC adapter connected to an AC outlet?
No sound
Is your powered monitor system or headphones connected to the cor-
rect jack(s)?
Is the connected monitor system powered-on, and is the volume
raised?
Is the VOLUME knob set to a position where sound will be output?
Is the MIDI page “LOCAL” setting turned ON?
Were any volume-related parameters set to a value of 0?
Could “CUTOFF” be set to 0 in the FILTER page or another page?
Could the VC FILT page “EF.SENS” parameter be set to HOLD (FOR-
MANT HOLD) when there is no input to the AUDIO IN [LINE] jack or
[MIC] jack?
Can’t input sound
Is the input source connected to the AUDIO IN [LINE] jack or [MIC]
jack?
If you’re using the AUDIO IN [MIC] jack, is the [XLR/LINE] switch set to
XLR?
If you’re using the AUDIO IN [LINE] jack, is the [XLR/LINE] switch set to
LINE?
Is the AUDIO IN [VOLUME] knob level raised?
For a vocoder program, is the audio source you’re using as the modula-
tor connected to the AUDIO IN [LINE] jack? Alternatively, have you
connected a mic to the AUDIO IN [MIC] jack?
Can’t edit
Can’t use performance editing by turning knobs [1]–[3]:
Could you be in Full Edit mode?
Turning the knobs [1]–[3] does not modify the edit parameters:
Could the GLOBAL page “KNOB.MODE” be set to “CATCH”?
Turning the knobs [1]–[3] does not affect the sound:
Have you used the TIMBRE SELECT lever to select the timbre you
want to edit?
Can’t select timbre 2:
Have you set the COMMON page “VOIC.MODE” parameter to some-
thing other than SINGLE?
Can’t select vocoder parameters in Full Edit mode:
Is the [VOCODER] button selected?
If the changes you made to a program or to the global settings have not
been remembered, did you turn the power off before executing the
Write operation? In the case of a program, your edits will also be lost if
you select a different program. Execute the Write operation to save
your edits before you switch programs or turn off the power.
