Basics Section Quick Guide Reference Appendix Troubleshooting The following table provides troubleshooting hints and page references for some common problems. Most problems may be simply the result of incorrect settings. Before calling for professional service, refer to the troubleshooting advice below to see if you can find and correct the cause of the problem. In particular, when you have trouble getting sound out of the S08, check the points below as you try to pinpoint the cause of the trouble. 1 Connect a set of headphones to check whether the S08 is properly producing sound. If you can hear the sound in the headphones but not from your connected audio system, you can assume that the problem is in the cable connections to the audio system. 2 If no sound can be heard through the headphones, try selecting different Voices or Multis to see whether the problem persists or not. If selecting another Voice or Multi clears up the problem, you can assume that the settings of the original Voice or Multi were at fault. n When song data settings, such as volume or expression (page 73) cause a decrease in volume, selecting a different Voice or Multi will restore the volume. 3 If the problem still persists even after changing the Voice or Multi, check the master volume setting of the S08. Increase the volume with the VOLUME slider and, if a foot controller is connected, press it down to the maximum. 4 If still no sound is output after step 3 above, the problem may be in the global settings of the S08 (UTILITY/ CONTROLLER), the settings of any connected MIDI device, and/or the connecting MIDI cable.

Troubleshooting
The following table provides troubleshooting hints and page references for some common problems. Most problems
may be simply the result of incorrect settings. Before calling for professional service, refer to the troubleshooting
advice below to see if you can find and correct the cause of the problem.
In particular, when you have trouble getting sound out of the S08, check the points below as you try to pinpoint the
cause of the trouble.
1
Connect a set of headphones to check whether the S08 is properly producing sound.
If you can hear the sound in the
headphones but not from your connected audio system, you can assume that the problem is in the cable connections to
the audio system.
2
If no sound can be heard through the headphones, try selecting different Voices or Multis to see whether the problem
persists or not.
If selecting another Voice or Multi clears up the problem, you can assume that the settings of the
original Voice or Multi were at fault.
n
When song data settings, such as volume or expression (page 73) cause a decrease in volume, selecting a different Voice or Multi
will restore the volume.
3
If the problem still persists even after changing the Voice or Multi, check the master volume setting of the S08.
Increase
the volume with the VOLUME slider and, if a foot controller is connected, press it down to the maximum.
4
If still no sound is output after step
3
above, the problem may be in the global settings of the S08 (UTILITY/
CONTROLLER), the settings of any connected MIDI device, and/or the connecting MIDI cable.
No sound.
Relevant Volume Settings
●
Is the volume set appropriately? (Pages 11 and 12)
●
With the S08, if a Foot Controller has been connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack and set up for volume/
expression control, has it been fully depressed? (Page 15)
Relevant Voice and Multi Settings
●
Have the Volume or Level parameters below been set appropriately?
Voice Element Edit “Level” (Page 59)
Voice Key Edit “Level” (Page 62)
Voice Common Edit “Total Vol” (Page 58)
Voice Common Edit “Total Lvl” (Page 58)
Multi Part Edit “Volume” (Page 64)
Multi Common Edit “Total Vol” (Page 63)
●
Are any of the Parts or Elements muted? (Page 41)
●
Has the “Element Sw” been set to off? (Page 59)
●
Have the filters been set so that almost all the sound is muted? (Pages 60, 62, 64)
●
Have the effects parameters been set appropriately? (Pages 59, 63)
●
Has the effect type been set to something other than “No Effect”? (Page 63)
●
Have the Velocity Sensitivity parameters been set appropriately? (Pages 58 and 64)
●
Have the Note Limit (Part/Voice) and Velocity Limit parameters been set appropriately? (Pages 59 and 64)
If Note/Velocity Limit Low is set to a value above Note/Velocity Limit High, no sound is output.
Relevant Global Settings of the S08 (UTILITY)
●
Have the MIDI receive channels been set correctly? (Pages 64)
●
Has the Local switch been set to off? (Page 67)
●
Has the Hose Select parameter in Utility mode been set appropriately? (Pages 13 to 15)
●
