Noise or oscillation is heard

When using an effect on the external audio source being input from AUDIO INPUT 1 and 2, oscillation may occur depending on the type of effect or on the parameter settings. Please adjust the input level, output level, and effect parameters. You need to be particularly careful when using a high-gain effect.

After a sample edit has been executed, or after a stereo sample has been recorded, a small noise may be heard. This has no effect on the audio data that was edited or sampled.

When using the BPM/MIDI Sync function to control the delay time of an effect, noise may occur in the delay sound. This noise is due to discontinuities in the delay sound, and is not a malfunction.

Some effects such as 015: St.Analog Record generate noise intentionally. It is also possible to create oscillation using a 24 dB/oct LPF filter with resonance. These are not malfunctions.

Program, Combination

Settings for oscillator 2 are not displayed

Make sure that the “Oscillator Mode” (Program P1: Program Basic) parameter is set to Double. ☞PG p.7

A combination does not play correctly after you load data

In the dialog box when you saved the data, did you check the items that you wanted to save? ☞PG p.166

Are the bank/numbers of the programs used by the combination the same as when the combination was created?

Song

A song does not play correctly after you load data

In the dialog box when you saved the data, did you check the items that you wanted to save? ☞PG p.166

Are the programs used by the song the same as when the song was created?

→When saving the song, it is best to use “Save All” or “Save PCG & SEQ” so that the programs are saved together with the song. Then when loading, load both the .PCG and the .SEQ data. ☞PG p.166, 157

Have you loaded the multisamples and samples used by the program?

Playback does not start when you press the SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key in Sequencer mode

Is the “MIDI Clock” (Global P1: MIDI) set to Internal? ☞PG p.143

Can’t record in Sequencer mode

Is the Memory Protect “Song” check box (Global P0) unchecked? ☞PG p.139

Is the “MIDI Clock” (Global P1: MIDI) set to Internal? ☞PG p.143

The arpeggiator settings that were copied from a combination using “Copy From Combi” cannot be recorded in the same way as when they were played

Have you checked “Multi REC”? (Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Preference) ☞p.85

Depending on the settings of the combination, it may be necessary to adjust settings such as “Track Select,” “MIDI Channel,” “Status,” and “Arpeggiator Assign.” ☞p.96

→In the Copy from Combi dialog box, check the “Auto adjust Arp setting for Multi REC” option before you execute the copy. This will cause the set- tings to be adjusted automatically. ☞p.95

→The settings that are made automatically by “Auto adjust Arp setting for Multi REC” will be executed according to the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key set- ting of the combination. If you want to turn on the arpeggiator in Sequencer mode and record the per- formance of a combination, make sure that the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key is turned on for the combination when you write it in Combination mode. Then execute the “Copy From Combi.” ☞p.95

RPPR does not start

Is the Sequencer P0: Play/REC “RPPR” setting checked? ☞p.33, 93

Are “Assign,” “Pattern Select,” and “Track” set correctly? ☞p.92, PG p.79

If the “MIDI Clock” (Global P1: MIDI) parameter set to Internal? ☞PG p.143

In Song Play mode, a GM/GS/XG-compatible SMF is not played correctly

Execute “GM Initialize” to initialize the settings. ☞PG p.124

Is “Bank Map” set to GM(2)? ☞PG p.137

Is “Status” set to INT? ☞PG p.126

Sampling

Can’t sample

Is sample memory (RAM) installed? ☞p.19

If you are sampling to external SCSI storage media, have you selected a hard disk? ☞PG p.5, 90

Are the audio input settings correct?

→Refer to “Audio input and output – Can’t input sound” ☞p.148

Is there free space in memory? ☞PG p.99, 175

→If you are sampling to sample memory (RAM), select a different memory bank. ☞PG p.6, 37, 57, 90
