■ The recorded sound is distorted
• Check whether the input sensitivity setting and
record level setting are appropriate.
• When the insert effect is applied to the input, check
whether the effect output level (patch level) setting
is appropriate.
Problems with effects
■ Insert effect does not work
• Make sure that the [INSERT EFFECT] key is lit.
• Check whether the insert effect position has been
selected correctly.
■ Send/return effect does not work
• Make sure that the [SEND/RETURN] key is lit.
• Make sure that the send level for the track is raised
(
→
p. 28).
Problems with the rhythm
section
■ Cannot hear the rhythm pattern playback
• Press the [DRUM/BASS] key repeatedly to select
the desired sound (drum kit/bass program), and then
operate the [RHYTHM] fader.
• Press the [DRUM/BASS] key repeatedly to select
the desired sound (drum kit/bass program), and then
press the [RHYTHM] status key repeatedly until the
key is lit in green.
• If the drum/bass sequence level has been set to zero
within a pattern, that sound will not be heard. Raise
the level setting for the drum/bass sequence (
→
p.
74).
■ Cannot hear the rhythm song playback
• Make sure that you have not selected an empty
rhythm song (
→
p. 76).
• Make sure that the selected rhythm song does not
include an event with a volume level zero setting
(
→
p. 83).
■ 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 the
pad strongly. Change the pad sensitivity setting
(
→
p. 90).
■ Cannot create a new rhythm pattern/
rhythm song
If the display indicates “SEQ FULL”, the rhythm
section memory has been used to maximum capacity.
Delete unneeded rhythm patterns or songs to free up
memory.
■ Notes recorded in the rhythm pattern do
not play
Notes that exceed the maximum polyphony (6 sounds for
drum kit, 1 sound for bass program) will not be played.
Delete some of the notes that have been recorded to stay
within the maximum polyphony.
Problems with MIDI
■ Cannot synchronize with external MIDI
device
•
Make sure that the MIDI cable is correctly connected
from the MIDI OUT connector of the MRS-8 to the
MIDI IN connector of the external device.
• Synchronization with an external MIDI device is
only possible by using the MIDI clock or MTC
output from the MRS-8.
• Make sure that the external MIDI device is set to
receive MIDI clock or MTC and synchronize to it.
• When synchronizing on the timing clock, make sure
that output is enabled for Timing Clock, Song
Position Pointer, and Start/Stop/Continue messages
at the MRS-8 ( →
p. 110).
