Korg music workstation, sampler manual 148, Can’t input sound, Can’t output sound from an audio CD

Are the Key Zone and Velocity Zone set so that sound will be produced when you play? ☞PG p.11, 42, 66

Notes do not stop

In Program P1: Edit Basic, select the Program Basic page, make sure that the “Hold” check box is unchecked. ☞PG p.7

In Global P2: Controller, make sure that “Damper Polarity” or “Foot Switch Polarity” is set correctly. ☞PG p.146

Can’t input sound

Are the appropriate sources connected to the AUDIO INPUT 1, 2 jacks, the S/P DIF IN jack, or the mLAN connector (if the EXB-mLAN option is installed)? ☞p.102

If there is no sound in Sampling mode, check that “Input,” “Level,” and “BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select” are set correctly in the Sampling P0: Recording, Input/ Setup page. ☞p.102

If there is no sound in Program, Combination, Sequencer, Song Play, and Disk modes, check that “Input,” “Level,” and “BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select” are set correctly in Global P0: Basic Setup, Input/ Sampling page; or in the P0: Sampling pages of Program, Combination, or Sequencer modes; or in the Disk mode Play Audio CD page. ☞p.102

If you are inputting sound to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, make sure that the AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob is raised. ☞p.103

If you are inputting sound to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, is the [MIC/LINE] switch set appropriately? ☞p.102

Is an unsupported format being input from the S/P DIF IN jack?

→Please connect an instrument or digital audio device that is compatible with CP-1201 or S/P DIF.

Is the correct sampling frequency being input from the S/P DIF IN jack?

→Sampling frequencies of 48 kHz and 96 kHz can be input. If you input an unsupported sampling fre- quency, noise will occur or a message of “S/P DIF Clock Error!” will be displayed.

Set “S/P DIF Sample Rate” to match the sampling frequency that is being input (either 48 kHz or 96 kHz). The default setting for “S/P DIF Sample Rate” is 96 kHz (Normal). ☞PG p.138

If “System Clock” is set to S/P DIF and “S/P DIF Sample Rate” is set to 48 kHz, and you want to change the sampling frequency that is being input to the S/P DIF IN jack from 96 kHz to 48 kHz or from 48 kHz to 96 kHz, you must make sure that the TRITON STUDIO is not accessing data when you make the change. Also, do not touch the TRI- TON STUDIO at this time. In particular, you must not change the sampling frequency being input to the S/P DIF IN jack when data access is occurring (e.g., load/save, read/write, or sampling opera- tions involving the internal hard disk, floppy disk, CD-R/RW, external SCSI media, sample memory, or internal memory).

Digital audio input is sometimes not heard for two or three seconds.

When you change the sampling frequency in “S/P DIF Sample Rate” (e.g., from 48 kHz to 96 kHz), two or three seconds will be required in order to lock to the new sampling frequency. Please wait until the sound is heard.

If audio cannot be input from the mLAN connector (if the EXB-mLAN is installed), have the mLAN plug settings been made correctly? ☞PG p.139, 141

Is the correct sampling frequency being input from the mLAN connector (if the EXB-mLAN is installed)? ☞PG p.139, 141

→A sampling frequency of 48 kHz can be input.

Can’t output sound from an audio CD

Make sure that you have selected the Disk mode Play Audio CD page or Sampling mode.

Make sure that the audio outputs of your external SCSI CD-R/RW drive are connected to the AUDIO INPUT jacks. ☞p.102

Is the CD output being correctly input?

→If you want to listen to the audio CD playback in the Disk mode Play Audio CD page, set “Input (COMBI, PROG, SEQ, S.PLAY, DISK)” to Analog, and make the appropriate settings for “Level” and “BUS (IFX/Indiv.) Select.” If you want to listen to the audio CD playback in Sampling mode, make these settings in “Input (SAMPLING).” ☞p.102

Is the “Volume” slider raised? (Disk mode Play Audio CD page, Sampling P5: Audio CD, Ripping page) ☞p.120, 174

Has the CD been finalized?

→A CD-R/RW disc that you wrote using the Disk mode Make Audio CD page cannot be played in the Disk mode Play Audio CD page or in Sampling mode unless you have finalized the disc. Execute the page menu command “Finalize Audio CD” to finalize the disc. ☞PG p.174

Excessive noise or distortion in the audio input or in the sampled sound

If you are inputting to the AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2 jacks, are the AUDIO INPUT [LEVEL] knob and “Recording Level” setting appropriate?

→If “Recording Level” indicates “ADC OVER- LOAD!!,” adjust the [LEVEL] knob. If “CLIP!!” is displayed, adjust the “Recording Level” slider. Adjusting the “Recording Level” will not affect the level of the output sound, but will affect the level that is sampled. While watching the level meter, adjust “Recording Level” as high as possible with- out allowing “CLIP!!” to appear. ☞p.116

If you are inputting to the S/P DIF IN jack or mLAN connector (if the EXB-mLAN option is installed), are the level of the output device and the “Recording Level” set appropriately?

→If “CLIP!!” appears, adjust the “Recording Level” slider.

Is the system clock set correctly?

→If cyclic click noise is occurring, check that you have selected the “System Clock” that is being input. ☞PG p.138
