Problem Possible cause/Solution
No power. Is the adaptor properly plugged into both the DX200 and the AC outlet?
(Page 11)
No sound. • Is the panel volume control set to an appropriate level?
• Are other volume-related parameters set to appropriate levels? (Page
39)
• Is the EG Attack Time appropriately short, for short percus-sive
sounds? (Page 46)
• Is the Velocity of keyboard is appropriate? (Page 21)
No sound from a particular track. • Is the track set to a proper Volume? (Page 39)
• Is the Track Mute setting appropriate? In other words, is the track
unmuted? (Page 37)
• Are all recorded steps on? (Step Mute, page 38)
• Is Cutoff set to a proper level? (Page 27)
No sound when playing the keyboard. Is the [KEYBOARD] button lit? If not press it to enable the keyboard.
(Page 20)
No sound when playing a connected MIDI keyboard or
other device.
• Have you connected the MIDI cables properly?
• Are all MIDI channel settings appropriate? (Page 97)
The knobs and other Voice controls have no effect on
the sound.
• Is the Synth track selected? (If one of the Rhythm tracks is selected,
some knobs may affect the Rhythm sound instead.)
• Is the Step Edit mode active? In other words, are either of the buttons
[STEP 1-8] or [STEP 9-16] on? (If so, turning some of the knobs may
unexpectedly change some of the recorded steps.) (Page 73)
The Sequence doesn’t play back. • Is Show Value active? (Page 31) Is Original Value active? (Page 32)
Make sure these are off.
• Have you selected any of these modes — Pattern Job, MIDI Setup, or
Utility?
• When syncing to another MIDI device, have you made sure that the
MIDI connections and relevant settings are correct? (Page 96)
• Is the MIDI clock set to “Internal”? (Page 97)
Recording (either Sequence or Free EG) doesn’t work. Is the Pattern mode active? Press [PATTERN] to make sure you’re in
Pattern mode.
Free EG tracks can’t be recorded. Are any of the Free EG tracks selected (on)? (Page 60)
Turning Free EG tracks on or off has no effect. Is the Synth track selected?
The length of the notes of the Sequence sounds wrong. Has the playback Gate Time been set to a value other than “100”? (Page
35)
The pitch of the Sequence sounds wrong. Has the Transpose Pattern setting been changed? Call up this function
to check the value, and change it if necessary. (Page 66)
When playing by the external sequencer, the Step
Sequencer of the DX200 starts.
Is the MIDI control set to “Out” or “Off”? (Page 107)
When playing the DX200 by the DX200 Editor, the Step
Sequencer of the DX200 does not play correctly even if
pressing the [PLAY] button.
• Is the MIDI control set to “On” or “In”? (Page 107)
• Is the MIDI clock set to “Internal”? (Page 97)
The bulk data cannot be received by the DX200 Editor. Are the MIDI IN/OUT jacks of the DX200 and the MIDI OUT/IN jacks of
the computer (or MIDI interface) are properly connected? (Page 106)
