Troubleshooting

Sound is missing when performing a roll or flam on the pad.

●Check the Reject Level parameter (page 110) in the dis- play called up via [TRIGGER] → [F4] REJECT. It may be a good idea to lower the value of this parameter.

●Check the Mask Time parameter (page 94) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F5] PAD → [SF4] TRIG- GER. It may be a good idea to lower the value of this parameter.

Sound is cut off.

●Check the Mono/Poly parameter (page 84) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF4] OTHER. Set this parameter to “poly.”

●Check the note settings in the Stack/Alternate display of the Drum Kit mode. If unnecessary notes are set, delete them.

Only one sound is produced even when two pads (drums) are hit.

●Try raising the value of the Gain parameter (page 109)

for the pad (Trigger Input) that is not producing sound in the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS.

●Try lowering the value of the Reject Level parameter (page 110) for the pad (Trigger Input) that is not produc- ing sound.

●Check the Alternate Group parameter (page 84) for both of the pads in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF4] OTHER. If both of the pads are assigned to the same Alternate Group, change the set- ting of either pad to a different value.

The sound volume is louder than expected.

●Check the Gain parameter (page 109) in the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS. Try lowering the value of this parameter.

●Check the velocity curve settings (page 110) in the dis- play called up via [TRIGGER] → [F3] SENS. Set the appropriate velocity curve.

●Check the Trigger Velocity parameter (page 94) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F5] PAD → [SF4] TRIGGER. If this parameter is set to “127,” for example, the maximum volume sound is produced regardless of how soft your pad hitting may be. Change the value of this parameter to the appropriate one.

●Are you using a pad made by a manufacturer other than Yamaha? Depending on the manufacturer, output levels might be too large.

The sound does not stop.

●Press the [EXIT] button to stop the sound. The sound

may continue when the Receive Key Off parameter is set to “off” in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F2] VOICE → [SF4] OTHER.

The Pad Controller does not work as expected.

●Check the Pad Controller Type parameter (page 92) in the display called up via [DRUM KIT] → [F5] PAD → [SF1] PAD CTRL. If this parameter is set to “off,” the Pad Controller installed to the connected pad does not work. Select the appropriate value.

●Check the Pad Type parameter (page 109) in the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F2] TYPE. If this parameter is not set to “TP120SD/100” (equipped with the Pad Con- troller), the Pad Controller does not work.

●Check whether or not the rim section is pressed. If so, the Pad Controller does not work.

The Closed Hi-Hat sound is not produced even if you press the Hi-Hat Controller by foot.

●Check the Pad Type parameter (page 109) in the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F2] TYPE. If the RHH135 or RHH130 is connected to the HI-HAT CONTROL jack as well as the HI-HAT jack, the Pad Type parameter with the INPUT set to “hihat” should be set to “RHH135” or “RHH130.”

No sound results even if you hit the edge or cup section of the cymbal pad. The choke functions do not work.

●Check the Pad Type parameter (page 109) in the display called up via [TRIGGER] → [F2] TYPE. If this parameter is set to an improper value (such as the model name of a snare or tom pad) and the INPUT parameter at left is set to ride (to which the ride cymbal pad is connected), select the appropriate value (model name of the ride cymbal).

Hi-hat Splashes are not produced.

●Is the foot controller connected to the HI-HAT CONTROL jack?

●Check the Foot Splash Sensitivity parameter (page 126) in the display called up via [UTILITY] → [F2] PAD → [SF1] HI HAT. If this parameter is set to “off,” the hi-hat splash sound will not be produced.

Sound is maintained even if the [>/■] button is pressed during Song playback.

●Check whether or not hitting the pad to which the Pad Song is assigned is recorded to the Song. If so and the

Mode parameter is set to “play” or “cutoff” on the display called up via the [DRUM KIT] → [F5] PAD → [SF3] PAD- SONG, only the Pad Song playback cannot be stopped depending on the timing you press the [>/■] button dur- ing playback. If you cannot find the pad, you can stop the sound by changing the Drum Kit in the Drum Kit mode.
