Local Operator’s Check

Description

The preliminary check provides assurance that most of the internal functions of the synthesizer are working. The main check provides a general check of the overall functions of the synthesizer. No external equipment is needed.

Preliminary Check Each time the synthesizer is turned on the synthesizer performs a series of self tests on the internal CPU, power supplies, and front panel. When the self test is complete, the synthesizer returns to the same functional configuration that it was in prior to power off. When the (-1 key is engaged, the synthesizer returns to the factory or user preset functional configuration.
