No sound, or sound is very weak
• Check the connections to your audio system, and the
volume of your audio system.
• Make sure that the status keys of each channel are lit
green. If a key is dark, press the key to make it light
green.
• Make sure that the fader of each channel and the
MASTER fader are raised. If they are already raised,
lower each fader and then raise it once again.
• If a scene with the volume lowered has been assigned to
a mark, the volume will automatically be lowered when
that mark is reached. Delete the scene that is assigned to
the mark (
→
p.52).

is lit. Press the [EXIT] key several times to make the
[RHYTHM] key go dark.

Operating the fader does not affect the
volume
• On channels for which stereo link is turned on, the fader
of the even-numbered channel will have no effect.
Either turn stereo link off (
→
p.50), or operate the fader
of the odd-numbered channel.

The signal from the [INPUT 1/2] (BALANCE)
jack(s) is not input
• If plugs are inserted in the [INPUT 1] (GUITAR/BASS,
UNBALANCE) jacks or the [INPUT 2] (UNBALANCE)
jack, disconnect these plugs.
■
The recorded sound is distorted
• Check whether the input sensitivity setting ([INPUT
1/2] control) and recording level setting ([REC LEVEL]
control) were appropriate.
• Lower the fader so that the 0 (dB) dot of the level meter
does not light.
• If the EQ gain of the track mixer is set extremely high,
the sound may be audibly distorted even if the fader is
lowered. Set the EQ to an appropriate value.
■
Insert effect does not apply
• Make sure that the [BYPASS/TUNER] key is dark.
• Make sure that the insert effect is sent to the desired

keys are dark, either press one or more MODULE keys
to make them light, or select another patch.

key is lit. If it is dark, press the key several times to
make it light.
• For each channel of the mixer, make sure that the
REVERB SEND or CHORUS/DELAY SEND parameter
is turned on. If it is on, make sure that the send level is
