Troubleshooting PROBLEM The LED indicators don't light when the power is turned on. POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION • The Loose Lip mode is selected. When the Loose Lip mode is selected the LED indicators may not light. This is normal. • If the Tight Lip mode is selected, the lip sensor may not be adjusted properly. Follow the adjustment procedure outlined on page 26. No sound is produced when breath pressure is applied to the WX5. • The wind sensor may not be properly adjusted. Follow the adjustment procedure outlined on page 25. • The Audition function may be turned on. Try turning the Audition function off as described on page 21. • The tone generator power may be off, or its MIDI settings may be not be set up properly for use with the WX5. Check your tone generator. Volume too low, or it is too difficult to produce sufficient volume. • The wind sensor may not be properly adjusted. Follow the adjustment procedure outlined on page 25. • The sensitivity (software wind gain) setting may be too low. Refer to page 20. • Also check the voice you are using as well as relevant tone generator settings. Sound is produced even when no breath pressure is applied to the WX5. • If the LED2 indicator is lit when no breath pressure is applied, this may mean that the wind sensor is not adjusted properly. Follow the adjustment procedure outlined on page 25. • The Key Hold function may be engaged. Try pressing the Key Hold button to disengage Key Hold. • The Audition function may be turned on. Try turning the Audition function off as described on page 21. The pitch doesn't change as expected when lip pressure is applied to the reed. • No lip pressure can be applied if you are using the reedless (recorder type) mouthpiece. Use the reed (saxophone type) mouthpiece if you want to use lip control. • The setup switches related to lip sensor operation may not be set properly. Refer to the instructions for switches 1-6 and 1-7 on page 22, 23. • The voice you have selected may not allow pitch control. Use a voice that is set up to allow pitch control. The volume doesn't change as expected when breath pressure is varied. The volume control settings of the WX5 and tone generator may not be matched properly. If the WX5 wind sensor is set to transmit breath data as MIDI breath control data (control change #02), then the tone generator must be set up to allow volume control via the same type of data. Either change the WX5 wind sensor data type to match that of the tone generator (page 22), or set the tone generator to allow breath control. 30

Also check the voice you are using as well as relevant tone generator
settings.
If the LED2 indicator is lit when no breath pressure is applied, this may
mean that the wind sensor is not adjusted properly. Follow the adjust-
ment procedure outlined on page 25.
The Key Hold function may be engaged. Try pressing the Key Hold but-
ton to disengage Key Hold.

want to use lip control.
The setup switches related to lip sensor operation may not be set prop-
erly. Refer to the instructions for switches 1-6 and 1-7 on page 22, 23.
The voice you have selected may not allow pitch control. Use a voice
that is set up to allow pitch control.

Volume too low, or it is too difficult to produce suf-
ficient volume.
Sound is produced even when no breath pressure
is applied to the WX5.
The pitch doesn’t change as expected when lip
pressure is applied to the reed.
The volume doesn’t change as expected when
breath pressure is varied.
