Troubleshooting
This section provides points to check and actions to take when
the SP-606 does not function as you expect. Refer to the
appropriate section for the problem you are experiencing.
If you find the screen display difficult or impossible to read,
hold down [
KNOB ASSIGN
] and turn the
VALUE
dial to
adjust the contrast.
No Sound/Insufficient Volume
Is the SP-606 correctly connected to your external
equipment?
Check the connections. (p. 20)
Could your audio cables be broken?
Could you be using a cable with a built-in resistor?
Use connection cables that do not have built-in resistors (such
as the Roland PCS series).
Could the volume be lowered on the connected amp
or mixer?
Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
Could the volume of the SP-606 be too low?
Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
Is there sound from the headphones?
If you hear sound from the headphones, the problem lies in a
broken cable or in the amp or mixer that is connected. Check
the connections and the connected devices. (p. 20)
In the MASTER screen, could “In Level,” “Low Gain,”
or “High Gain” be lowered?
Adjust the various levels in the
MASTERING
screen
appropriately. (p. 34)
Is the SP-606 in External mode?
Samples will not sound in External mode. (p. 15)
Specific Pads Do Not Sound
Could the level of the sample be lowered?
Adjust the level of the sample. (p. 50)
Try turning off the MFX1 and MFX2 switches.
If you now hear sound, it may be that the level was being
constrained by the MFX parameters, or that the MFX type was
set to “
ENVELOPER (PAD)
.” Adjust the parameters to
appropriate settings. If the MFX type is “
ENVELOPER
(PAD)
,” striking a pad will apply an envelope so that the
sound will be heard.
The Sound Stops Unexpectedly
Could a Mute Group be specified?
Turn off the Mute Group. (p. 50)
Could “Trig Mode” be set to ALTERNATE?
If “Trig Mode” is set to
ALTERNATE
, the sample will
alternately play or stop each time you strike the pad. If you
want the sample to sound each time you strike the pad, set
“Trig Mode” to
GATE
or
SHOT
. (p. 50)
The Sound Does Not Stop
Could “Trig Mode” be set to SHOT?
If “Trig Mode” is set to
SHOT
, the sample will play all the way
to its end, so that for a long sample it may seem that the sound
does not stop. If you set “Trig Mode” to
ALTERNATE
, the
sample will alternately play or stop each time you strike the
pad. Or, if you set “Trig Mode” to
GATE
, the sample will
continue playing only as long as you hold down the pad. (p.
50)
Could the Loop setting of the sample be turned on?
Turn looping off. (p. 50)
Can’t Control the Volume by Varying
Your Striking Force on the Pads
Could “Pad Velocity” be set to a fixed setting?
If you want to control the volume by varying your striking
force on the pads, you must set “Pad Velocity” to
REAL
. (p.
31)
