The following table provides troubleshooting hints and page
references for some common problems. Most problems may be
simply the result of incorrect settings. Before contacting your
Yamaha dealer or service center, refer to the troubleshooting
advice below to see if you can find and correct the cause of the
problem. In particular, when you have trouble getting sound out
of the MOTIF-RACK XS, check the points below as you try to
pinpoint the cause of the trouble.
1.
Connect a set of headphones to check whether the
MOTIF-RACK XS is properly producing sound. If you
can hear the sound in the headphones but not from
your connected audio system, you can assume that
the problem is in the cable connections to the audio
system.
2.
If no sound can be heard through the headphones,
try selecting different Voices or Multis to see whether
the problem persists or not. If selecting another
Voice or Multi clears up the problem, you can
assume that the settings of the original Voice or Multi
were at fault.
n
When song data settings, such as volume or expression cause a
decrease in volume, selecting a different Voice or Multi will restore
the volume.
3.
If the problem still persists even after changing the
Voice or Multi, check the master volume setting of
the MOTIF-RACK XS.
4.
If still no sound is output after step 3 above, the
problem may be in the Utility settings of the MOTIF-
RACK XS, the settings of any connected MIDI
device, and/or the connecting MIDI cable.
