Troubleshooting
If during use any of the following problems should occur, carefully examine the
instrument to see if you can find out what the problem is, and try resolving it by fol-
lowing the suggestions below. If the instrument will still not function properly refer
to your dealer or to an Authorized Korg Service Center.
Polyphony
The SP-250 contains sampled sounds, which have been recorded, analyzed and pro-
cessed from the actual sounds of the original musical instruments. These sounds
usually consist of one or more different samples reproduced by pressing a key. Each
sample is played back by a single oscillator. Sounds using just one oscillator have a
full polyphony of max. 60 voices, while sounds using two oscillators have a limited
polyphony of max. 30 notes. Sounds using more oscillators have a more limited
polyphony. When the number of notes exceeds the limit of the sound, some notes
will be stopped, so that the new ones can be heard.
