Is there sound?
After making connections as explained in “Making connections”, turn the power on,
and gradually raise the volume while playing the keyboard. Does the bar indicator of this
unit move? If it does, this unit is receiving MIDI messages correctly.
Part Number
This unit will sound a note when the Volume knob is pressed (the Preview function). If
playing your keyboard produces no sound, you can use this function to see whether the
amp volume and speaker connections are correct.
If this unit bar indicator does not move, MIDI messages are not being received from
your MIDI keyboard. Check your MIDI keyboard settings and MIDI cable connections.
*
With the factory settings, this unit will produce sound in response to any channel 1 — 16,
regardless of the transmit channel your keyboard is set to (p.130). This is because each Part is
assigned to the correspondingly numbered MIDI channel. The number below the bar indicator is
the Part number.
*
If you hear sound but the bar indicator does not move, press the [ALL] button to make the [ALL]
indicator light. Now the volume levels of all the Parts of this unit will be indicated in the display
(p.23).
