If there’s too much or too little reverb:

Make sure that the reverb depth is set properly. On the Silent Series piano, check the position of the REVERB con- trol. Turn it clockwise for more reverb, counterclockwise for less. See the Reverb section for more information.

If the pitch of the Silent Series piano does not match that of other instruments:

If you cannot match the pitch of another instrument by fine tuning, or using the PITCH switch (i.e., the other instrument is out of the Silent Series piano’s adjust- able range), adjust the pitch of the other instrument.

If while playing a duet or a song with a lot of pedaling, sustained notes stop abruptly:

This is because your playing exceeds the default polyphony setting. Increase the polyphony as described on page 29.

If the Silent Series piano cannot transmit or receive MIDI data with other MIDI instruments:

Are the MIDI cables connected prop- erly? The Silent Series piano transmits and receives MIDI information on MIDI Channel 1. Make sure that the other device is set to use the same MIDI chan- nel. The Silent Series piano can also be set to receive MIDI information on MIDI Channels 1 and 2.

Wenn der Hall zu leise oder zu laut ist:

Kontrollieren Sie die Einstellung des Hallanteils. Auf dem Piano der “Silent”- Serie: schauen Sie nach, wie der REVERB-Regler eingestellt ist. Drehen Sie ihn weiter nach rechts, um den Hallanteil zu erhöhen bzw. nach links, um ihn zu verringern. Siehe das “Hall”- Kapitel.

Wenn das Piano der “Silent”-Seriefalsch klingt im Verhältnis zu anderen Instru- menten:

Wenn sich Ihr Instrument mit der Fein- stimmung nicht sauber stimmen läßt, können Sie entweder den PITCH-Schal- ter des Pianos der “Silent”-Serieanders einstellen (um die benötigte Referenz- tonhöhe zu wählen) oder die Stimmung des anderen Instruments ändern.

Wenn beim Spielen eines Duetts bzw. bei intensiver Verwendung der Pedale plötz- lich Noten wegfallen:

Es werden so viele Noten gespielt, daß die Polyphonie überfordert wird. Wäh- len Sie die erweiterte Polyphonie (siehe Seite 29).

Lorsqu’il y a trop ou trop peu de réverbération:

Assurez-vous que la profondeur de réverbération est réglée convenable- ment. Sur le piano de la série “Silent”, vérifiez la position de la commande REVERB. Tournez-la dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre pour augmenter la réverbération et dans l’autre sens pour la diminuer. Voyez la section “Réverbération” pour en savoir plus.

Lorsque l’accord du piano de la série “Silent” ne correspond pas à celui d’un autre instrument:

Si vous ne parvenez pas à vous aligner sur la hauteur d’un autre instrument en changeant le réglage d’accord fin ou avec le sélecteur PITCH du piano de la série “Silent” (l’autre instrument se trouve donc hors de la plage de réglage du piano de la série “Silent”), ajustez la hauteur de l’autre instrument.

Lors d’un jeu à quatre mains ou d’un mor- ceau demandant un jeu de pédale impor- tant, certaines notes sont interrompues abruptement:

Votre jeu excède la capacité de polypho- nie par défaut. Augmentez la polypho- nie (voyez l’explication donnée à la page 29).
