There is a problem with the MIDI cable connections. Check that MIDI cables have not been disconnected or

broken.

You’ve attempted to switch patches by rotating the PATCH/VALUE dial, but the Dial function (p. 62) is set to “VALUE Only.”

If you want to be able to switch patches using the PATCH/VALUE dial, set the Dial function to “PATCH No. & VALUE.”
