Troubleshooting

Appendices

The sound is strange

Sounds are heard

twice (doubled)

when the keyboard

is played

Is the KR in layer play? (p. 30)

When the KR is connected to an external

sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode

(p. 174). Alternatively, the sequencer could be

set so its Soft Thru feature is OFF.

The tuning or pitch

of the keyboard or

song is off

Have you set transpose? (p. 103)

Are the settings for the “Temperament” and

“Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 153)

Is the setting for the “Master Tune” correct?

(p. 162)

Effects cannot be

applied to Tones

It’s not possible to apply more than one effect

at the same time, so when a performance has

been recorded on multiple tracks or when

playing along with a song as it’s played back,

the desired effect may not be applied.

A note doesn’t stop

playing

Have the Chord Tone and Bass Tone been

changed? (p. 159)

Some Chord Tone and Bass Tone notes may

be sounded continuously.

The Tone has

changed

During automatic accompaniment, changing

the Music Style automatically changes the

Tones and tempo of the upper part of the

keyboard to match the new Music Style. If you

want to change only the Music Style without

also altering the tempo and Tone, check out

“Changing Music Styles Without Changing

the Tone or Tempo (One Touch Setting)” (p.

156).

When a performance made along with a

Music Files tune has been recorded, recording

the performance to button [1/Whole] may

make the Tones for buttons [3/Lower] and

[4/Upper] change as well.

Reverberation still

audible even with

Reverb turned off

Since the KR’s piano sounds faithfully

reproduce the sense of spaciousness and

reverberation of an actual acoustic piano’s

sound, a certain amount of reverberation is still

perceptible, even with the reverb effect

deactivated.

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. The range that is unaffected by the

damper pedal will change depending on the

Key Transpose setting.

Case

Cause/Remedy

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 KR) 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 KR 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 (such as resonance

produced by the KR) would be suspect.

Consult your Roland dealer or nearest Roland

Service Center.

The automatic accompaniment doesn’t play

correctly

Can’t select a tone

or Music Style

Touch <Exit> several times to return to the

Basic screen (p. 24), and then select a tone or

Music Style.

Automatic

accompaniment is

not heard

Has the Balance knob been moved all the way

to the right? (p. 75)

Have you pressed the One Touch Program

[Arranger] button?

If the One Touch Program [Arranger] button

has not been pressed, only the rhythm pattern

is played (p. 65).

Is the 16-track Sequencer screen displayed?

(p. 127)

Chord Intelligence

can’t be used

Has Chord Intelligence been switched off? (p.

159)

Is the setting for “Piano Style Arranger”

active? (p. 74)
