Troubleshooting

 When this occurs in the Performance mode/Song mode/Pattern mode, check whether the Insertion Switch (INS SW)

parameters are set properly or not.

The Edit Indicator appears, even when parameters are not being edited.

 Keep in mind that even though the Edit mode is not active, simply moving a Knob/Slider or playing back the Song/Pattern

changes the current Voice, Performance, or Mixing, causing the Edit Indicator to appear.

Cannot start the Arpeggio.

 Check whether the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button is turned on or off.

 Is the MIDI Sync parameter set to internal (using internal clock)?

 When the User Arpeggio type is selected, does the currently selected Arpeggio actually contain data?

 Are the Arpeggio related parameters such as Note Limit and Velocity Limit set appropriately?

 When this situation occurs in the Performance/Song/Pattern mode, check the Arpeggio Switch parameter. If this parameter for

the current Part is set to off, Arpeggio playback will not be triggered by your keyboard performance even if the [ARPEGGIO

ON/OFF] button is turned on.

Cannot stop the Arpeggio.

 When Arpeggio playback does not stop even if you release the key, set the Arpeggio Hold parameter to “off.”

The Voice assigned to the Performance produces a different sound from the one in the

Voice mode.

 This is normal because the Voice sound is determined by the parameter settings in the Performance mode. For the

Performance Parts, you will need to apply basically the same parameter settings as those used in the Voice mode. Regarding

the Effect settings except for the send level, you can copy the settings in the Voice mode to the Performance part in the

following display. By executing this Job, you can ensure that the Voice will sound the same in the Performance mode as it

does in the Voice mode.

The Song/Pattern cannot be started even when pressing the [F] (Play) button.

 Does the selected Song or Pattern (phrase) actually contain data?

 Is the Remote Control feature turned on?

 Is the MIDI Sync parameter set to internal (using internal clock)?
