Troubleshooting

Sound Is Distorted

For some effect or part volume settings, the sound may distort. Adjust the following parameters.

•Volume parameters: Vol Main, Vol Dual, Vol Split, Vol ChordBs, Vol Drum, Vol Bass, Vol Backing (p. 18)

•Amount of reverb or chorus for the keyboard part: Cho Main,

Cho Dual, Cho Split, Rev Main, Rev Dual, Rev Split (p. 19)

•Overall volume and volume balance (p. 14)

Could you be applying an effect such as overdrive or distortion which intentionally distorts the sound? (p. 20)

Pitch Is Wrong

For some tones, the pitch in certain ranges may sound different than other tones.

Could the tuning of the GW-7 be incorrect?

Check the Master Tune setting. (p. 25)

Could the pitch have been changed by pedal operations or by pitch bend messages received from an external MIDI device?

Notes Are Cut Off

If you attempt to play more than 64 voices simultaneously, currently sounding notes may be cut off.
