Volume of a recorded sample is too low/too high
A sample that you resampled with “Recording Level”
set at approximately –12.0 (dB) plays back at a lower
volume than the volume at which you resampled it.
Did you turn on the “Auto +12 dB On” setting when
you resampled? p.67
If you resampled with “Auto +12 dB On” turned off,
turn on “+12 dB” (Sampling mode Loop Edit page) for
that sample.
The playback volume of a sample is different than the
volume at which it was resampled or sampled.
If the sample playback is louder, did you set “Record-
ing Level” above +0.0? If it is lower, did you set
“Recording Level” below +0.0?
The “Recording Level” setting affects the level of the
sample data that is recorded, but it is not possible to
monitor that level.
If the sample playback is louder, is “Auto +12 dB On”
turned on? If the playback is softer, is this setting
turned off?
If you resampled the playback of a song or your play-
back performance using a program, combination, or
sample, or combined your performance with an exter-
nal audio source and sampled the result, did you set
“Recording Level” to approximately –12.0 dB and turn
on the “Auto +12 dB On” setting? p.67
If you sampled only an external audio source, did you
set “Recording Level” to approximately +0.0, and turn
off “Auto +12 dB On”? p.67
Song or CD playback stops temporarily when you sample
Is “Auto Optimize RAM” checked?
If this is checked, RAM will be optimized automati-
cally when sampling ends, meaning that the sound will
stop when sampling ends. If a song is being played in
Sequencer mode or if a CD is being played back, the
playback will stop.
There is a time lag after you press the SAMPLING [REC] key
until you enter sampling-standby mode
The length of time until you enter sampling-standby
mode will depend on the state of the free space on the
media (i.e., whether the free space is continuous or
fragmented).
When sampling to the media, pressing the SAMPLING
[REC] key will cause the amount of space specified by
“Sample Time” to be allocated within the media.
You should set “Sample Time” slightly longer than the
length that you will actually sample, and avoid speci-
fying an excessively long sample time.
Drum kits
The pitch of a drum sample does not change
You have left the “Assign” check box unchecked, and
want to play the drum sample at the adjacent right a
semitone lower, but the pitch does not change.
If you have selected a drum program in Program
mode, and then want to edit the drum kit in Global
mode, go to the Program P2: Edit-Pitch, OSC1 Pitch
Mod. page and set “Pitch Slope” to +1.0 before you
enter Global mode.
Arpeggiator
Arpeggiator does not start
Is the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key turned on (lit)?
If the arpeggiator does not start for a combination or
song, make sure that “Arpeggiator Run” is checked,
and that an arpeggiator is selected for “Assign.”
p.96, PG p.49, 93, 149
Is the “MIDI Clock” (Global P1: MIDI) parameter set
to Internal? PG p.162
If the ARPEGGIATOR [ON/OFF] key does not
respond in Global P6: User Arpeggio, you may have
moved here from Sampling mode or Media mode.
Effects
Effects are not applied
Have you selected effect program 000?
Select an effect other than 000: No Effect for “IFX1–5”
or “MFX 1, 2.”
Are the “IFX 1–5 Off,” “MFX1 Off,” or “MFX2 Off”
(Global P0: Basic page) settings checked? p.89
If you are in Combination, Sequencer, and Song Play,
and master effects are not applied when you raise the
“Send1” or “Send2” of the timbre/track, does “Return
1” or “Return 2” from the master effect need to be
raised? p.105
Alternatively, has “Send 1” or “Send 2” for each oscilla-
tor of the program used by the timbre/track been low-
ered? p.105
The actual send level is determined by multiplying
the send setting of each oscillator in the program with
the send setting of the timbre/track.
Have you routed the output to an insert effect?
