Troubleshooting Problem The style or song does not play back when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed. The style does not sound properly. No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 112 or a style between 124 and 135 (Pianist). Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds. The sound of the voice changes from note to note. The Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or there are Japanese characters in the display messages. The FILE CONTROL display can't be selected, even though a SmartMedia card is inserted in the card slot. The appropriate display does not appear when the [SONG], [EASY SONG ARRANGER], [STYLE], or [VOICE] button is pressed. The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played. The ACMP indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed. The song number (036 -) of an external song file transferred to SmartMedia memory from a computer does not appear. The song number (036 -) of an external song file transferred to flash memory from a computer does not appear. There is no harmony sound. Possible Cause and Solution Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to "External Clock" on page 80. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 71) is set to an appropriate level. Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 59). Is the "ACMP" indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show. This is not a malfunction. Style number 112 and style numbers 124 - 135 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on. The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or "stolen") from the accompaniment or song. The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note. Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to English. (See page 22) The FUNCTION display Media Select item might be set to Flash Memory. Media Select must be set to SmartMedia in order to use SmartMedia memory. Is another display showing? Try pressing the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display, and then pressing one of the mentioned buttons. Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off. Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any style-related function. Perhaps Media Select is set to Flash Memory. Make sure that Media Select is set to SmartMedia (page 67). Perhaps Media Select is set to SmartMedia. Make sure that Media Select is set to Flash Memory (page 67). The harmony effects (01 - 26) behave differently according to their type. Types 01 - 05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the righthand range. Types 06 - 26 will function whether style playback is on or off. For types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time. DGX-505/305 Owner's Manual 89
