Troubleshooting

No sound? Wrong sound? When a problem like this occurs, please check the following points before assuming that the
product is faulty. You may solve your problem by executing the Factory Set (page 22) after backing up your data to an
external storage device. If the problem persists, consult your Yamaha dealer.

No Sound.

Are all eight sliders set to appropriate levels (other than zero or minimum)?

Is the MOTIF XS properly connected to related external equipment (e.g., amplifier, speaker, headphone) via audio cables?
Since the MOTIF XS has no built-in speakers, you will need an external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to properly
monitor it.

Check the Local Control parameter and the mLAN Monitor Setup parameter in the Utility mode.
When the MOTIF XS is used as stand alone and the Local Control parameter is set to off or the mLAN Monitor Setup parameter is
set to “with PC,” no sound is produced even if you play the keyboard.

Is the power of this synthesizer and any external equipment connected to this synthesizer turned on?

Have you made all the appropriate level settings—including the Master Volume on this synthesizer and the volume settings on
any connected external equipment?

Is the Foot Controller pressed down (when it is connected to the FOOT CONTROLLER jack)?

Are the MIDI volume or MIDI expression settings too low when using the external controller?

Is this synthesizer properly connected to related external equipment (e.g., amplifier or speaker) via audio cables?

Are the effect and filter settings appropriate?
If you are using the filter, try changing the cutoff frequency. Some cutoff settings may filter out all of the sound.

Are the volume or expression settings too low?

Are the parameter settings such as Element Switch, Part Switch, Note Limit and Velocity Limit appropriate?

When the Element to which “Legato” of the XA Control parameter is assigned does not sound, is the Mono/Poly parameter of the
Element set to “Mono”? Or, is a value other than “Legato” of the XA Control parameter assigned to another Element within an
Element Group?

When the Element to which “Key Off Sound” of the XA Control parameter is assigned does not sound, are you releasing the note
after the AEG decays?
The “Key Off Sound” Element will take over the AEG level of the previous Element if both the Elements belong to the same
Element Group. To solve such a problem, release the note before the AEG level decays to minimum or set the “Key Off Sound”
Element to the different Element Group from the previous Elements.
