Problems with the rhythm section

Troubleshooting

external device matches the MIDI channel(s) of the

drum track and/or bass track.

■Can't hear the rhythm pattern play back

•Make sure that the DRUM/BASS status keys are lit green.

•Make sure that the DRUM/BASS faders are raised. If the faders are already raised, lower them and then raise them once again.

•Make sure that you have not selected a blank rhythm pattern (pattern name "EMPTY").

■Can't hear the rhythm song play back

•In the case of a new project, the rhythm song has not yet been created, so you will hear no sound. Either create the rhythm song, or load a project for which a rhythm song has been created.

■Can't synchronize with an external MIDI device

•Make sure that a MIDI cable is correctly connected from the [MIDI OUT] connector of the MRS-1044 to the MIDI IN connector of the external device.

•On the MRS-1044, make sure that transmission is enabled for the Timing Clock, Song Position Pointer, and Start/Stop/Continue messages (→ p.90).

•On the external MIDI device, make sure that it is set to receive Timing Clock and synchronize to it.

•Make sure that the external MIDI device is in playback mode.

■No sound when you tap the pads

•If the pad sensitivity has been set to "SOFT," loud sounds will not be produced even when you tap strongly. Change the setting to "NORMAL," "LITE," or "LOUD" (→ p.72).

■Can't record or edit a rhythm pattern / rhythm song

•When the [RHYTHM] key is dark or blinking, it is not possible to record or edit a rhythm pattern or rhythm song. Press the [RHYTHM] key to make the key light.

•If the display indicates "FULL," this means that you have used up the rhythm section memory. Please delete unneeded rhythm patterns.

■Sounds recorded in the rhythm pattern do not play

•Sounds that exceed the maximum polyphony (8 notes for the drum track, and 1 note for the bass track) will not be played. Either delete some of the other notes that have already been recorded (→ p.68), or stay within the maximum polyphony when you record.

Problems with MIDI■The MRS-1044's drum/bass sounds cannot be played from an external MIDI device

•Make sure that a MIDI cable is correctly connected from the MIDI OUT connector of the external device to the MRS-1044's [MIDI IN] connector.

•Make sure that the MIDI channels for the drum track and bass track are set appropriately (→ p.90).

•Make sure that the MIDI transmit channel(s) of the

Other problems■Can't save the project

•The project cannot be saved if the Protect setting is on. Turn protect off (→ p.85).

■Can't use the tuner

•The tuner cannot be used if the insert effect is inserted in a location other than the input mixer. Change the insert location to the input mixer.

■Can't record on an external recorder connected to the [OUTPUT] (DIGITAL) jack.

•Make sure that the external recorder is set to a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.

•Make sure that the audio format of the external recorder supports S/P DIF.

■Can't create a new project or copy a project

•If the display indicates "FULL," this means that 1,000 projects already exist, and no further projects can be created. Please delete unwanted projects.

■The display indicates "STOP RECORDER," and operation is not possible

•The currently-performed operation cannot be performed while the recorder is running. Press the STOP[P] key to stop the recorder, and then perform the operation.
