Troubleshooting

Appendices

No sound is heard

Is the speaker cable connected and plugged
in correctly?

No sound from the left side is V-LINK
switched on? (p. 159)
When V-LINK is switched on, the twelve
keys at the left end of the keyboard are used
to control images, and no sounds are
played with these keys.

No sound is heard

(when a MIDI

instrument is

connected)

Have all devices been switched on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?
(p. 160)

Does the MIDI channel match the
connected instrument? (p. 162)

No sound is heard

when the keyboard

is played

Has Local Control been set to “Off”?
When Local Control is set to Off, no sound
is produced by playing the keyboard.
Set Local Control to On (p. 162).

Not all played

notes are sounded

The maximum number of notes can play
simultaneously is 128. Frequent use of the
damper pedal during automatic
accompaniment or when playing along
with a song on external memory may result
in performance data with too many notes,
causing some notes to drop out.

The sound is strange

Sounds are heard

twice (doubled)

when the keyboard

is played

Is the KR in layer play? (p. 26)

When the KR is connected to an external
sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode
(p. 162). Alternatively, the sequencer could
be set so its Soft Thru feature is OFF.

The tuning or pitch

of the keyboard or

song is off

Have you set transpose? (p. 88)

Are the settings for the “Temperament”
and “Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 143)

Is the setting for the “Master Tune” correct?
(p. 146)

Effects cannot be

applied to Tones

If different effects have been selected for
the upper, lower, Layer, and other Tones,
and the effects for the Parts don’t match,
only one of the effects is applied.
It’s not possible to apply more than one
effect at the same time, so when a
performance has been recorded on multiple
tracks or when playing along with a song as
it’s played back, the desired effect may not
be applied.

A note doesn’t stop

playing

Have the Chord Tone and Bass Tone been
changed? (p. 139)
Some Chord Tone and Bass Tone notes may
be sounded continuously.

Case

Cause/Remedy

The Tone has

changed

During automatic accompaniment,
changing the Music Style automatically
changes the Tones and tempo of the upper
part of the keyboard to match the new
Music Style. If you want to change only the
Music Style without also altering the tempo
and Tone, check out “Changing Music
Styles Without Changing the Tone or
Tempo (One Touch Setting)” (p. 139).

When a performance made along with a
Music Files tune has been recorded,
recording the performance to button [1/
Whole] may make the Tones for buttons [3/
Lower] and [4/Upper] change as well.

Reverberation still

audible even with

Reverb turned off

Since the KR’s piano sounds faithfully
reproduce the sense of spaciousness and
reverberation of an actual acoustic piano’s
sound, a certain amount of reverberation is
still perceptible, even with the reverb effect
deactivated.

Sound from the

Output jacks is not

right

Have you made the correct Advanced 3D
settings for use with headphones?
Changing the Advanced 3D “Mode” to
“Headphones” or “Auto” and connecting a
pair of headphones configures the settings
for use with headphones.

In the upper range,

the sound changes

abruptly beyond a

certain key

On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper
one and a half octaves of the keyboard
continue to sound until they decay
naturally, regardless of the damper pedal.
There is a difference in the timbre as well.
Roland pianos faithfully simulate such
characteristics of the acoustic piano. The
range that is unaffected by the damper
pedal will change depending on the Key
Transpose setting.

A High-pitched

whine is produced

When listening through headphones:

Some of the more flamboyant and
effervescent piano tones feature an ample
high-end component, which may make the
sound appear to have metallic reverberation
added. Since this reverberation becomes
particularly audible when supplemented by
heavy reverb, you may be able to diminish
the problem by reducing the amount of
reverb applied to the sound.

When listening through speakers:

Here, a different cause (such as resonance
produced by the KR) would be suspect.
Consult your Roland dealer or nearest
Roland Service Center.
