associated cables. Below are the QRS part numbers required. The EPROM version is written on the chip which is
located on the processor board.

The Yamaha concert
series floppy does not
sound right.
•
Yamaha does not always adhere to the General MIDI specification
when asking for specific instruments. This may cause the sounds
out of the Chili unit to play differently.
Some piano keys are
playing louder than
others, or the sustain
pedal does not have
enough power to
energize our system.
•
When this is noticeable give your technician a call, or give QRS a
call, there are routines built into Chili to adjust for this but some
instruction is necessary. This setup is typically done after a tuning
or when initially installed in the home.
The sustain event is not
recorded accurately.
•
The sustain switch must be accurately installed or it will effect the
entire performance. The sustain switch is located either under the
piano or inside the piano. If it is inside the piano call your
technician to come adjust it. If it is still not to your satisfaction do
not let them leave without calling us first.
The speaker on the piano
Pops when I turn the unit
on.
•
This occurred on most of the first units built that did not have the
powered speaker plugged into the switched power supply of the
Pianomation MIDI system and version 1.51k EPROM is not
installed.
My disk is not recognized
when I upgrade.
•
Make sure you used a clean formatted floppy and make sure the
name of the file is QRSUpdat.bin.
The Metronome does not
stop when I start
recording.
•
Check to make sure you are getting MIDI out from your record strip.
•
Check the record strips power.
•
Select MIDI as your source, choose an instrument, play the piano, if
you hear the instrument out of the speaker then the record strip is
working. Go back to record, record, stop and play. If it still does
not record. Call QRS.
The unit does not power
down.
•
This usually occurs when the system is writing to flash. Hold clear
for two seconds, this will interrupt what it is doing and shut down.
