Troubleshooting
Reverberation
remains even if you
defeat the Reverb
effect
The RP201’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.
* Lowering the Key Off Resonance (p. 40) may improve matters.
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 upper end of the keyboard will continue sounding
regardless of the damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat different tonal character. RP201 faithfully simulate this
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the RP201, the range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change according to the
transpose setting.
High-pitched ringing
is heard
If you hear this in headphones:
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-frequency components that may sound as though
a metallic ringing has been added. This is because the characteristics of an actual piano are being faithfully reproduced, and is not
a malfunction. This ringing is more obtrusive if the reverb effect is applied heavily, so you may be able to minimize it by decreasing
the reverb.
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within the unit). Please contact your dealer or the nearest Roland
service center.
Low notes sound
wrong, or are buzzy
If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted depending on how you perform.
If this occurs, turn down the volume.
p. 18
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the RP201 to resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may
also resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes and higher volumes. You can take the
following measures to minimize resonances.
Locate the speakers 10–15 cm away from walls or other surfaces.
Keep the volume down.
Move away from the objects that are resonating.
If you hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a nearby Roland service center.
Song does not play correctly
Song won’t play
Does the indication “dEL” appear in the screen?
Internal songs cannot be played if you have recorded a performance and not yet saved it. Delete or save this performance data, and
then play back the song.
p. 27
Only the sound of a
particular instrument
in a song does not play
Could a track be muted?
Muted tracks are not played back. Hold down the [ ] button and press [E. Piano], [Strings] and/or [Others] (the indicator must
light).
p. 28
The recorded
performance
disappeared
Your recorded performance will disappear if you switch off the RP201’s power or select a song.
There is no way to recover the lost performance. Before you turn off the power, save your recorded performance in internal Memory.
