Troubleshooting

If the AT-15 does not function in the way you except, first check the following chart. If this does not resolve the problem, consult your dealer or a nearby Roland Service Station.

When you press the [Power On] switch, the power doesn’t come on

Power cord is not connected correctly (p. 16).

No sound is heard

The [Master Volume] knob is set too low (p. 16).

Headphones are connected (p. 17).

When you connect the headphones, the sound is heard only through the headphones.

The volume of each Part Balance button is set too low (p. 26).

The volume is set too low on the Expression Pedal (p. 49).

You do not have a voice selected (p. 21).

Voices that have their button indicator lit can be played.

While the [Drum/SFX] button is on (lit), you are playing keys in the lower manual to which no drum sounds or effect sounds have been assigned (p. 28, p. 103).

No sound is heard (when a MIDI instrument is connected)

The power of the connected external devices is not turned on (p. 96).

Damper Pedal does not operate

The damper pedal does not affect the Solo voice.

The damper pedal does not affect the Upper keyboard.

Expression Pedal does not operate

The function of the Expression Pedal during recording (p. 82) or the function during playback (p. 83) has been set to “COMPOSER.”

Pressing the expression pedal while playing back Atelier performance data produces a crackling noise

Is the expression pedal function (p. 83) set to “PEDAL+COMPOSER” during playback of Atelier performance data?

When this setting is used, moving the expression pedal while playing back Atelier performance data may create a difference between the expression pedal information in the performance data and the volume as set with the expression pedal, which can result in this kind of sound being produced.

Set the expression pedal function (p. 83) to “PEDAL” during playback.

Can’t use the function assigned to the foot switch

If the Utility menu item “Regist Shift” (change Registrations) is “RIGHT” or “LEFT” (p. 87), the foot switch will be dedicated to switching the Registration.

When the Human Voice “Jazz Scat” is selected, playing dynamics do not change the sound

The Utility menu item “Initial Touch” is turned OFF (p. 87).

Rotary effect is not be applied

Some sounds do not allow the rotary effect to be applied (p. 102).

Even though you press only one key, a multiple number of notes sound

Harmony Intelligence is at ON (p. 41).

Chord Intelligence is turned ON (p. 88).

Automatic Accompaniment sounds odd

The keys for a chord were not pressed simultaneously.

When Chord Intelligence is OFF (p. 88), the chord is not being pressed correctly.

Pitch is off

Transpose is in effect (p. 48).

The tuning is incorrect (p. 93).

While set for an octave shift (p. 27), you are playing keys beyond the recommended range. This does not indicate a malfunction.

Performance data cannot be played back

While the Utility menu appears in the display (with the exception of Channel Mute and Track Mute), playback is not allowed. If you wish to playback performance data, press the [Utility] button once again to exit the Utility menu (p. 78–p. 95).

Recording is not possible

While the Utility menu appears in the display, recording is not allowed. If you wish to record performance data, press the [Utility] button once again to exit the Utility menu (p. 78–p. 95).

Lyrics are not indicated properly in the display

With some music files, the lyrics cannot be displayed correctly.

If you press a button while the lyrics are being shown in the display, the lyrics will disappear. To recall them, press the [Rec] button.

The recorded performance has disappeared

Any performance that has been recorded is deleted when the power to the unit is turned off. A performance cannot be restored once it’s been deleted, so be sure to save it on a floppy disk before you turn off the power (p. 73).
