Troubleshooting
Can’t hear the recorder song
Could the local control setting be turned “Off”?
If the local control setting is “Off” when you play back a song, you won’t hear
sound from the speakers of the FP-7.
p. 149
Could the song volume be set to “0”? p. 28
No sound from the leftmost notes of
the keyboard
Is V-LINK switched on?
When V-LINK is switched on, the twelve keys at the left end of the keyboard are
used to control images, and no sounds are played with these keys.
p. 136
No sound (when a MIDI device is
connected)
Are all devices powered on? p. 147
Are the MIDI cables connected correctly? p. 147
Do the MIDI channels of the FP-7 and the connected device match? p. 148
Not all the notes you play are
sounded
The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 notes. If you are playing along with
a song and making heavy use of the damper pedal, the number of notes the FP-7
is attempting to produce may exceed the maximum polyphony, meaning that some
of the notes will drop out.

Notes don’t sound right
Pitch of the keyboard or song is
incorrect
Could you have made transpose settings? p. 52
Is the Master Tune setting appropriate? p. 115
Are the settings for the Temperament correct? p. 116
Is the settings for the Stretch Tuning correct? p. 64
Two sounds are produced when the
keyboard is played
Is the FP-7 in Dual Play? p. 41
When the FP-7 is connected to an external sequencer, set it to the Local Off mode.
Alternatively, set SOFT THRU on the sequencer to “Off.”
p. 149
The wrong instrument is selected
when you press the [Strings/Pad],
[Guitar/Bass], or [Voice/GM2]
button
Tone buttons [Strings/Pad] [Guitar/Bass] [Voice/GM2] also operate as buttons
that select “Recommended Tones.”
With the factory settings, connecting a commercially-available CD-ROM drive to
the external memory connector and selecting a song from a CD-ROM produced for
the VIMA (VIMA TUNES) will automatically cause sounds appropriate for that song
to be assigned to the [Strings/Pad], [Guitar/Bass], or [Voice/GM2] Tone buttons,
so that you can select “recommended” tones by pressing one of these buttons.
You can also make settings so that “recommended” tones are not automatically
assigned.
p. 120
Effect does not apply
You can specifies which part is to have priority when the effects assigned to the
Upper Tone and Lower Tone differ in Dual Play or Split Play.
p. 120
Reverberation remains even if you
defeat the Reverb effect
The FP-7’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an acoustic
piano, and this may give the impression of reverberation even if you’ve defeated
the Reverb effect.
—
The sound of the higher notes
suddenly changes from a certain
key
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the
top of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These
notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. FP-7 faithfully simulate this
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the FP-7, the range that is unaffected by the
damper pedal will change according to the key control setting.
