Troubleshooting

Wrong Sound Plays

Is there a mistake in the head and rim selection? (p. 55)

With some parameters, you can make separate settings for the head and rim. At this time, confirm the trigger type appearing in the upper right of the screen, then make the settings.

Are you making the rim shot (p. 36) and cross stick (p. 36) correctly?

To play rim shots, strike the head and rim simultaneously. For cross stick, make sure your hand or stick does not touch or strike the head.

Song Does Not Sound As Intended

Song Sounds Odd

Have the part settings been changed? (SONG/PART; p. 87)

Press [+] or [-] to make the settings.

Playback Stops Immediately After Beginning

Is the song playback type set to “TAP?” (SONG/COMMON/Play Type; p. 85)

Press [-] to set this to “LOOP” or “1SHOT.”

“TAP” refers to the convenient playback function in Pad Pattern (tapping the pad causes the song to be played back).

The Song Stops Suddenly When Playing the Pads

Are you using the Pad Pattern function? (KIT/CONTROL/Pad Ptn; p. 63)

If so, look at your settings. Or see p. 63.

When triggering/playing a song that is set to “LOOP” or “ONE SHOT” mode, if you trigger another song (from a pad), also in “LOOP” or “ONE SHOT” mode then the last song played will have priority. Don't forget that some “songs” are very short, a few notes, or even one chord. So “sudden” stops can be caused by accidently triggering one of these short songs. Always check your Pad Pattern settings.

Sound is distorted

Sound in Headphones Distorted

Sometimes, setting the headphone output too high using certain tones can make it appear that the sound is somewhat distorted.

Turn down [VOLUME] completely. This alleviates the distortion.

Output Sound Is Distorted

Sounds may become distorted somewhat because of certain instrument and equalizer settings.

Lower the pad’s instrument volume. (KIT/INST/Level; p. 59)

Setting the Pan (positioning) at or near the center may suppress the distortion. (KIT/INST/Pan; p. 59)
