Troubleshooting

Problem

Check/Action

Power does not turn on

Are the supplied AC adaptor and power cable correctly connected to the E-09 and to an electrical outlet? (p. 8)
-> Use only the supplied AC adaptor and power cable. Use of any other adaptor or cable may cause malfunctions.

No sound from the E-09

Could the VOLUME knob be turned down?
Could headphones be connected?
-> If headphones are connected, there will be no sound from the E-09’s speakers.
If there is no sound when you play the keyboard, could Local Control be turned “OFF”?
-> Turn “Local” ON. (p. 27)
Could pedal operations or MIDI messages (Expression or Volume) received from an external MIDI device have low-
ered the volume?

No Sound from a Spe-
cific Part

Could the volume of the part be turned down?
-> Adjust the volume parameters (Main Vol, Dual Vol, Split Vol, Auto Bass, Acc Drum, Acc Bass, Accomp). (p. 23)
Could you have used the Minus-One function to mute (silence) a specific part? (p. 21)
Does the MIDI receive channel of the part match the MIDI transmit channel of the connected MIDI device?
-> Set the MIDI channel of the connected external MIDI device to match the E-09’s receive channel. (p. 26)

No sound from a con-
nected MIDI device

Is the instrument set to send MIDI messages?
-> Set “MIDI TxRx” to an appropriate setting, something other than “OFF.” (p. 27)
Does the MIDI transmit channel of the E-09’s keyboard controller section match the MIDI receive channel of the con-
nected MIDI device?
-> Set the MIDI channel of the connected external device to match the E-09. (p. 26)

No sound from a specif-
ic region of the key-
board

Some tones such as drum sets or bass sounds have a limited range.

Effect not applied

If reverb or chorus are set to an amount of “0” for the keyboard part, there will be no effect.
-> Set “Rev MAIN, Chr MAIN, Rev DUAL, Chr DUAL, Rev SPLIT, Chr SPLIT” to values above “0.” (p. 24)
If “MFX” is set to anything other than “OFF,” chorus cannot be applied to the tone of the Main part.

Effect sounds wrong

If “Tone MFX” is “OFF,” some combinations of tone and effect may sound strange in comparison to other tones.
-> Turn “Tone MFX” ON. Alternatively, switch “MFX” to a different type. (p. 24)

Pitch does not change
when you move the
Pitch Bend lever

Could the pitch bend range be set to “0”?
-> Change the “PB Range” to a value other than “0.” (p. 22)

Sound is moved
(panned) to left or right
each time you play a
note

Some tones are randomly panned between left and right each time you play a note.
-> You can’t change the setting of such tones.
If Pan MAIN, Pan DUAL, or Pan SPLIT is set to “RND,” the sound will randomly move between left and right each
time you play a note. (p. 24)

Sound is distorted

The sound may be distorted depending on the effect or part volume settings. Try adjusting the following parameters.
• Volume parameters: Main Vol, Dual Vol, Split Vol, Auto Bass, Acc Drum, Acc Bass, Accomp (p. 23)
• Amount of reverb or chorus applied to the keyboard parts: Rev MAIN, Chr MAIN, Rev DUAL, Chr DUAL, Rev

SPLIT, Chr SPLIT (p. 24)

• Overall volume or volume balance
Could an effect such as overdrive or distortion (which intentionally distorts the sound) be applied?

Tempo does not change

If [FUNCTION] is lit, pressing TEMPO [

(-)][

(+)] will not change the tempo.

Pitch is wrong

Some tones may seem to have a different pitch in certain regions when compared to other tones.
Could the E-09’s tuning be incorrect?
-> Check the “MasterTune” setting. (p. 22)
Could the pitch have been modified by pedal operations or pitch bend messages received from an external MIDI de-
vice?

Notes are interrupted

If more than 64 notes are played simultaneously, currently-sounding notes may be cut off.

Notes are “stuck” (con-
tinue sounding) when
you play the keyboard

Is the foot switch connected correctly?
