Yamaha AR-80 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
When playing a Pedal Voice from the Lower Keyboard (using the To
Lower function), pressing the Lower Keyboard’s Sustain button does
not turn on Sustain.
Even though the Pedal Voice is being played from the Lower Keyboard, it is still a Pedal
Voice; turn the Sustain on with the Pedal Sustain button.
The sound is too soft, despite the volume being set to the maximum.
First check that the appropriate Voice sections are turned on in the ENSEMBLE section.
(See page 18.) Also check all of the volume controls, making sure that they are set to
suitable levels: the panel Volume controls for each Voice section, the MASTER VOLUME
dial, and the Expression Pedal. (See pages 7, 17.) Also check the MANUAL BALANCE
control. (See page 18.)
Switching Voices causes the volume to change, despite their having
identical volume settings.
The volume of certain Voices may seem lower than that of others. Adjust the balance of
the sound with the Volume control within the appropriate Voice Condition display.
The Click sound cannot be heard.
Make sure that the Click Volume is set to an appropriate level (in the FLUTE VOICE
page).
The Initial Touch and After Touch functions do not seem to have any
effect on the sound.
Adjust the Touch Tone settings in the Voice Condition display. (See page 33.)
When keys on the Lower Keyboard or Pedalboard are pressed, the
sounds of percussion instruments are also heard.
The Keyboard Percussion function has been turned on. When not using the function,
be sure to turn it off. (See page 61.)
Only one sound is heard when two notes of the Lead or Pedal Voices
are simultaneously played.
For practical performance reasons, the Electone has been designed so that one note of
the Lead or Pedal Voices can be played at a time. If several keys are pressed at once, only
the highest note will be sounded (highest-note priority).
The Style doesn’t change, even when changing Registrations.
Make sure that the D. (Disable) buttons are not lit. (See page 61.)
Even though a dotted button’s Style has been selected and started, the
pattern does not sound.
If the dotted button contains a User Style that has no recorded data, the Style will not
sound. Select a Style that contains recorded data.
ACCOMPANIMENT
The A.B.C. accompaniment does not function.
A.B.C. accompaniment is automatically disabled when the MIDI Mode is set to DOC or
XG/GM, or when a D.O.C. or XG/GM disk has been inserted in the M.D.R. disk slot.
(See page 163.)
Bass and chord accompaniment cannot be heard
Make sure that the Bass/Chord level is set appropriately. (See pages 24, 51.)
The Pedal Voices do not sound, even though the volume is properly
set.
This is normal for the Single Finger and Fingered Chord modes of Auto Bass Chord. Set
the A.B.C. mode to Off. (See pages 55, 60.)
