Troubleshooting
If you perceive any unexpected behavior from your Korg B2/B2SP/B2N
Digital Piano, please see if this guide addresses your concern. If not, or if
the problem persists, contact your nearest Korg distributor.
The Instrument turns off
If the power is left on for 30 minutes or more without the keyboard
being played, the auto power-off function will turn off the B2/B2SP/B2N
automatically. To use the B2/B2SP/B2N, press the power button again to
turn it on.
The Sound is interrupted
The instrument sounds in the B2/B2SP/B2N are created by recording
individual samples made from the actual instruments, processing them,
and combining them to achieve the desired sound. Depending on the
detail and complexity of the sound, one, two, or even three samples may
be combined to create each note. Nearly all of the sounds on the B2/
B2SP/B2N use two samples per note played. Due to this, the maximum
polyphony or number of notes that can sound at once (including when
the damper pedal is pressed) is 60. (Note that the Italian concert piano,
jazz piano and ballad piano sounds use three samples per note, which
brings the maximum polyphony down to 40.) However, the stage electric
piano sound has a maximum polyphony of 120 notes.
The pitch or tone of the piano sounds incorrect in some key regions
The B2/B2SP/B2N’s piano sounds replicate the sound of an actual piano
as faithfully as possible. This means that in some regions of the keyboard,
you may sense that the overtones seem stronger, or that the tone or pitch
seems wrong. This reflects the acoustic nature of the original instrument
being sampled, and is not a malfunction.
