TROUBLESHOOTING
During operation, sometimes the W5/W7 may not behave as you expect it to.
This doesn t necessarily mean that there is a problem; usually, as you re intensely
involved in the music making process, you may leave out an important step or fail
to press the correct button for the operation you want to perform.
In fact, most operational errors are of the too simple to even consider variety,
such as failing to turn up the volume on the instrument or the monitor system! An
improperly set parameter or bad cable or improper cable connection are also
common causes of distress.
ISOLATE THE PROBLEM
When an apparent problem exists, the first thing to do is isolate the cause of the prob-
lem, and determine whether it is internal (e.g., caused by parameter settings) or external
(e.g., caused by bad connections, or the amplifier, etc.).
1. LISTEN VIA HEADPHONES
Plug a pair of headphones into the W5/W7 s PHONES jack, turn the volume
up, and play. If the headphone sound is OK, then the problem is external,
which means the connections are not properly made, or a cable is bad, or you
need to check the amplifier or mixer settings.
2. SELECT ANOTHER TRACK OR SWITCH MODES
If the problem still exists while listening via headphones, then select another
track and play. If you re in Voice Play Mode, switch to Song Play Mode and
select another track. If this alleviates the problem, then it is most likely that a
parameter setting for the Instrument voice in the trouble track is the cause. If
the problem occurs in all tracks or modes, then the cause may be a utility
parameter or other parameter that affects all modes.
