Troubleshooting
Is the PC-80 software synthesizer running?
If the PC-80 software synthesizer is not running, there will be no sound when you play the keyboard. Start up
the PC-80 software synthesizer, and make sure that the [SOFTWARE SYNTHESIZER] button of the PC-80 itself
is lit.
Is the volume adjusted appropriately for each Part of the PC-80 software
synthesizer?
Use the VOLUME knob of the Synth panel to adjust each Part to an appropriate volume.
Is the volume balance of the Synth panel and Player panel adjusted
appropriately?
In the PC-80 software synthesizer’s Option window, make sure that the volume balance of the Synth panel and
Player panel is adjusted appropriately.
Is the Split setting active?
If you’re using Split, the key range of each part may be set so that some keys of the PC-80 may not produce
sound when you play them. Adjust the bars for the UPPER and LOWER parts to change the key range of each
part.
Have you correctly specified the audio output device of the PC-80 software
synthesizer?
If the PC-80 software synthesizer’s audio output device is not specified correctly, the sound will not be output
from the desired audio device. In the Options window, use the Devices area to select the desired audio device.
If you want the sound to be output from the PC-80 itself, choose the PC-80 in the Devices area.
Could other sequencer software be running?
If other sequencer software is running, it is possible for that software and the PC-80 software synthesizer to be
competing for the audio output device, so that sound is not output. If this is the case, exit the other sequencer
software.
Is the PC-80 connected correctly?
Connect the PC-80 correctly.
If you’re using a playback device other than the PC-80, connect your equipment correctly as described in the
owner’s manual for your playback device or sound module.
Is the PC-80’s master volume knob set to an appropriate volume?
If the master volume knob of the PC-80 itself is turned down, sound will not be output from the PC-80. Use the
PC-80’s master volume knob to adjust the volume appropriately.
Could the PC-80’s Local Control setting be turned off?
If the Local Control setting is off, the sound generator for manual synth playing will not produce sound. Turn
Local Control on. (

“Local Control settings”
(p. 51))
Could the PC-80’s Speaker Output setting be turned off?
If the Speaker Output setting is off, the sound from the PC-80’s speaker will be muted. Turn the Speaker setting
on. (
➔
“SPEAKER ON/OFF”
(p. 87))
Is the power of your playback system turned on?
If you’re using a playback system other than the PC-80, make sure that your playback system is powered up.
Is the volume of your playback system turned up?
Make sure that the volume of the PC-80 and of your playback system other than the PC-80 is turned up.
No sound
