[MIDI TX] to OFF (p. 47).

 

 

 

 

Are the LOWER SELECT settings correct?

 

(p. 28)

With the acoustic piano settings, sounds

different in this range. Roland’s pianos

use the instrument’s Key Transpose

 

setting to change that range over which

 

the damper pedal has no effect.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Check/Solution

 

 

 

 

 

Depending on the Tone selected, pitches

 

played in certain registers will be

 

changed and played at other pitches.

 

 

 

Have you set Transpose? (p. 25, p. 55)

 

 

Pitch is Odd

Has the RD-300SX gone out of tune?

• Check the System Master Tune settings

 

 

in Edit mode (p. 38).

 

 

 

Has the pitch been changed by pedal

 

operations or by Pitch Bend messages

 

received from an external MIDI device?

Is the pedal connected correctly?

 

• Connect the pedal securely to the

 

PEDAL jack (p. 12).

 

 

 

Are you using a pedal made by another

 

manufacturer?

 

• Use the pedal included with the RD-

 

300SX or an optional DP Series or

 

similar pedal.

Pedal Has No Effect,

 

Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit

 

or Effect “Sticks”

while the power is on may cause the

 

 

pedal’s effect to be applied nonstop.

 

Be sure to switch off the power to the unit

 

before attempting to disconnect or

 

connect a pedal cord (p. 12).

 

 

 

When Setup Pedal Shift is set to ON and

 

the pedal is being used as a dedicated

 

Setup switch (p. 39), the control pedal

 

function cannot be used (p. 40).
