Troubleshooting

If you think there’s a problem, read this first.

Case

Cause/Remedy

The power doesn’t

come on

Is the power cord connected and plugged in

correctly? (p. 12)

The button doesn’t

work

Is the panel locked? (p. 35)

Turn the power off, then back on.

No sound is heard

Is the volume level of the RP101 turned all the

way down? (p. 14)

Are headphones plugged in? (p. 13)

Has a plug remained connected to the Phones

jack?

Plugging headphones or other plugs into the

headphone jack stops sounds from playing

through the speakers.

Is Local Off selected?

When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is

produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local

Control to “On” (p. 39).

Is V-LINK switched on?

While V-LINK is switched on, no sound is

produced when you press any of the twelve

keys at the left end of the keyboard (p. 35).

No sound is heard

(when a MIDI

instrument is

connected)

Have all devices been switched on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?

Does the MIDI channel match the connected

instrument? (p. 38)

Sounds are heard

twice (doubled)

when the keyboard

is played

Is the RP101 in Dual play? (p. 18)

When the RP101 is connected to an external

sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode

(p. 39).

Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its

MIDI Thru feature is OFF.

Tone doesn’t change

Is the panel locked? (p. 35)

Turn the power off, then back on.

Not all played notes

are sounded

The maximum number of notes that the RP101

can play simultaneously is 64.

Frequent use of the damper pedal when

playing along with a song may result in

performance data with too many notes,

causing some notes to drop out.

The tuning or pitch of

the keyboard or

song is off

Have you set Transpose? (p. 23)

Are the settings for the “Temperament” (p. 33)

and “Stretch Tuning” (p. 34) correct?

Is the setting for the “Master Tuning” correct?

(p. 32)

Depressing a pedal

has no effect, or the

pedal effect doesn’t

stop

Is the pedal connected correctly?

Make sure the pedal cord is securely

connected to the pedal jack on the bottom of

the unit, at the rear (p. 12).

The pedal rattles

Adjust the adjuster underneath the pedal so

that the adjuster presses firmly against the

floor surface (p. 15).

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. On the RP101, the range that is

unaffected by the damper pedal will change

depending on the 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 RP101)

would be suspect. Consult your Roland

dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

The bass range

sounds odd, or there

is a vibrating

resonance

When listening through speakers:

Playing at loud volumes may cause

instruments near the RP101 to resonate.

Resonation can also occur with

fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and

other objects. In particular, this problem

occurs more easily when the bass

component is increased, and when the

sound is played at higher volumes. Use

the following measures to suppress such

resonance.

• Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm

from walls and other surfaces.

• Reduce the volume.

• Move the speakers away from any

resonating objects.

When listening through headphones:

Here, a different cause would be suspect.

Consult your Roland dealer or nearest

Roland Service Center.

The volume level of

the instrument

connected to Input

jacks is too low

Could you be using a connection cable that

contains a resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain

a resistor.
