Troubleshooting
The FS1R has a large number of features and functions for flexible sound creation and control. Inappropriate setting
of many of the parameters provided, however, can result in no sound or unexpected sound and response. If
something like this happens to you, begin by checking the points listed below.
•Reset the parameters to the state they were in before the problem occurred. Also try setting values to “0” or on/off
settings to “off”.
•Rather than offset type parameters, try adjusting the main “root” parameters. Many of the PART parameters, for
example, simply offset the VOICE parameters. Try disabling the related operator, LFO, filter, or other parameters.
Sometimes this can help to locate the source of the problem.
•Try selecting a different performance setup. This will cause any received control change data and mute settings to
be reset. If this solves the problem, (i.e. you get sound), try using the RECALL function (page 44) to recall the
previous data if the problem occurred while editing.
•In some cases it may be necessary to initialize the performance. This will reset all potentially problem-causing
offset parameters and source/destination assignments.
•If none of the above solves your problem, try turning the power switch off, waiting a few seconds, and then turning
the power back on.
Possible Causes For Common Problems
No Sound
General
•Are your audio cables connected properly?
•Are the volume controls on the instrument itself and connected sound equipment turned up to appropriate levels?
MIDI
•Are your MIDI cables connected properly?
•Is your MIDI controller set to transmit on the same channel that the FS1R is set to receive on?
Performance/Part Settings
•Is the performance volume set to an appropriate value?
•Is the part volume set to an appropriate value?
•Is your MIDI controller set to transmit on the same channel that the FS1R is set to receive on?
•Is the performance or part muted?
•Is the part expression level set to “0”?
•Check the receivable velocity and note ranges.
•Is the FS1R set to receive Fseq control from an external source (i.e. Mode = “scratch”)?
Voice Settings
•Are the operator output levels set to “0”?
•Check the operator output level scaling settings.
•Are the operators muted?
•Check the velocity sensitivity setting.
•Is the filter input gain set to “-12”?
•Is “Amp EG Bias” specified as a control destination (EDIT [PERFORM]-CtrlDst-VCn)? If so, no sound will be
produced if the EDIT mode [VOICE]-OPERATOR-Sns-AMP EG Bias parameter is set to a positive value and the
controller is set to its midway point (+0).
