Piano jumps to its loudest
setting.
•
The pianomation processor on the bottom of the piano has
dipswitch 3 set to off.
•
Check the piano curves; Setup - Defaults - Audio - Curves - Piano if
these are set to 127 across the board high volume is all you will
receive.
I cant turn the volume
down on a piece I have
just recorded.
•
That is by design, the intent is for the piano to play it back the way it
was played in. To adjust the volume you must save it first then play
it from the Floppy. The volume knob will then work for you.
•
If it is the playback dynamics you are worried about try one of two
things 1. Doing a record alignment, or 2. Changing the expression
settings.
The song I recorded and
saved does not play back
at the same expression.
•
Set the global volume at 64.
The unit locks up on start
up.
•
This issue occurred on several of the first units sold, it was related
to the IR control. Try upgrading to the latest code using the 4
button reset. If the unit locks up again - hold clear for 2 seconds -
this will interrupt what the processor is trying to do and keep you
moving.
•
If this doesn't work give us a call.
The unit will not play the
CD sequentially.
•
There are four ways to play back a CD; Sequentially, Shuffle
(sticky), Shuffle (non-sticky) only one song then stop and
Programmed.
•
If Shuffle (sticky) is set to on it will not play sequentially. To turn it
off go to Setup - Defaults - Playback - Shuffle and turn it off.
•
If Shuffle (non - sticky) is on it will not play sequentially - to turn it
off go to the home screen (push clear once) select shuffle and turn
it off.
•
If Programmed is set to only one song: go to the home screen
(push clear once) select program and reset the tracks you would
like to play.
•
If Continuous is turned off. To turn it on go to Setup - Defaults -
Playback - Continuous and turn it off.
The MIDI file on my
Floppy does not load I
receive an error.
•
The MIDI file may still be on the Floppy but the drive may not be
able to retrieve the data in the location specified. Try saving the
MIDI file to your hard drive on your PC, reformat your floppy disk
and then transfer the file back. This should work. If you do not
have another floppy and it is a QRS floppy call us.
•
The songs loaded on the disk are buried in a file folder. Bring them
to the top level using your PC.

The second screen states the unit is initializing.
This screen indicates the version of the Pianomation MIDI
EPROM in the processor. The processor is typically
mounted under a grand piano or inside an upright. It also
tells us the version of the Chili software, and will perform
an internal check to ensure the stability of all the circuits.
The unit will now load up previous set-points.
Finally, the home screen appears. The unit is now ready
for operation.
