Troubleshooting
External input sound cannot be heard/volume is too low.
Check the following points.
• Could [MIX IN] be unlit?
Press [MIX IN] so it is lit.
• The level of the external input may be lowered.
When you sample, use the LEVEL knob to adjust the level
appropriately.
• Hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN] to access the Input
Setting screen, and check the Level settings.
• The volume of the device connected to AUDIO INPUT may be
lowered.
Adjust it to an appropriate level.
• Are the audio cables connected correctly?
Check the connections.
• An audio cable may be broken.
• Could you be using an audio cable with a built-in resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor (e.g.,
Roland PCS series).
External input sound is not stereo/is not monaural.
Check the following points.
• Stereo Switch parameter (p. 100) may be set to monaural
(stereo).
• Could the Input Select parameter be set to “LINE IN L,” or
“MICROPHONE”?
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN] to access the Input
Setting screen, and set “Input Select” to “LINE IN L/R.”
Mic sound is not output/is too weak.
Check the following points.
• Is the mic cable connected correctly?
Check the connection.
• The mic cable may be broken.
• The input source may be set to something other than mic.
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN] to access the Input
Setting screen, and set “Input Select” to “MICROPHONE.”
• The mic level may have been lowered.
When sampling, use the EXT SOURCE “LEVEL” knob to adjust
the level appropriately.
Can’t record a sample.
Check the following points.
• Is there enough memory capacity?
If there is insufficient sample memory, a message of “Sample
Memory Full!” will appear when you attempt to sample (p.
105).
Erase unneeded samples to increase the amount of free space.
If there is still not enough, install additional memory (DIMM
modules). (p. 216)
Sampled sound contains excessive noise or distortion.
Check the following points.
• Is the input level appropriate? If the input level is too high, the
sampled sound will be distorted. If it is too low, noise will be
heard. When sampling, turn the LEVEL knob in the Sampling
Standby screen (p. 100) to adjust the level while watching the
level meter displayed in the left part of the display.
• Are the effect settings appropriate?
Some types of effect may increase the level louder than the
original sample, or may intentionally distort the sound. Some
effects will also cause noise to be emphasized.
Temporarily turn off effects, and check whether the sample
itself contains noise or distortion. Then adjust the effect settings
appropriately.
• Are multiple samples being played simultaneously?
Even if the level of each individual sample is appropriate,
simultaneously playing multiple samples may cause the overall
level to be excessively high, causing distortion. Lower the level
of each sample so that the sound is not distorted.
Can’t select data from a memory card.
Check the following points.
• Is the memory card inserted correctly?
Turn off the power, remove the memory card, then re-insert the
memory card correctly.
• Is the memory card an appropriate type?
The Fantom-Xa can use either PC card type memory cards, or
another type of memory card via a PC card adaptor.
I can’t use a memory card.
Is the memory card formatted?
An unformatted floppy disk cannot be used. Perform the
Format procedure.
