TROUBLE SHOOTING

Appendix

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The TG500 is a very versatile instrument with many features and functions that affect operation.

In many cases, what appears to be a fault with the TG500 can actually be traced to an improperly set
parameter or, at the most fundamental level, to something as simple as a bad connection.

Here’s how to determine if the problem is internal (e.g. parameter settings) or external (e.g. connec-

tions, amplifier, etc.):

●

Listen Via Headphones.

Plug a pair of headphones into the TG500 and play. If the headphone sound is OK, then the problem

is most likely in the amplifier or mixer you are using, or the audio connection cables.

●

Check the Sound In the Voice, Performance, and Multi Modes.

If the problem only occurs in one mode or one voice/performance/multi, then the cause is most likely

a parameter setting related to that mode or voice/performance/multi. If the problem occurs in all modes,
then the cause may be a utility parameter or other parameter that affects all modes.

The following are some common problems and probable causes:

●

Amplifier, Mixer, Connection Problems

Symptom

Possible Cause

No Sound

Distorted sound

• Is  the  amplifier/mixer  power  turned  on?
• Is  the  amplifier/mixer  volume  set  to  an  appropriate  level?
• Are  the  TG500  outputs  properly  connected  to  the  amplifier/mixer  inputs?
• Are  the  connection  cables  shorted,  open,  or  otherwise  faulty?

• Is the TG500 connected to a high-sensitivity microphone or instrument input

on your amplifier or mixer? Try turning the TG500 OUTPUT controls down
to avoid overloading the amplifier/mixer inputs.

●

Performance Mode Problems

Symptom

Possible Cause

No Sound

Wrong pitch.

• Are  voices  properly  assigned  to  the  performance  layers  (page  62)?
• Are  the  voice  volume  parameters  set  high  enough  (page  63)?
• Is  the  total  performance  level  set  high  enough  (page  60)?
• Are  the  voice  note  and  velocity  parameters  set  to  appropriate  values  (page

67 through 70)?

• If a controller is assigned to volume control, is the controller set to produce

a high enough volume level (page 56)?

• Are the note shift parameters for each voice set to appropriate values

(page 66)?.
