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. 10)
The button
doesn’t work Is the panel locked? (p. 28)
Is the Tone locked? (p. 28)
Turn the power off, then back on.
No sound is heard Is the volume level of the ep 880 turned all
the way down? (p. 11)
Are headphones plugged in and
headphones indicator lights up? (p. 10)
Has a plug remained connected to the
Phones jack?
When headphones are connected, the
keyboard’s speaker stops playing.
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. 31).
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. 29).
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. 31)
Sounds are heard
twice (doubled)
when the
keyboard is
played Is the ep 880 in Dual play? (p. 17)
When the ep 880 is connected to an external
sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p.
31). Alternatively, the sequencer could be
set so its MIDI Thru feature is OFF.
The tone has
changed in the
Split or Dual play If you use Dual play or Split play with a
TONE SELECT button for which tone
number 3 is
selected, tone number 1 will be selected for
that TONE SELECT button (p. 14).
Some tones assign the tone that had been
selected before you pressed the [SPLIT]
button to the left hand area of the keyboard.
Please refer to “Tone List” (p. 207).
Tone doesn’t
change Is the panel locked? (p. 28)
Is the Tone locked? (p. 28)
Turn the power off, then back on.
Are the indicators for the [SPLIT] and
[TWIN PIANO] buttons flashing?
Setting of functions is in progress. Press the
[SPLIT] or [TWIN PIANO] button to exit
function mode (p. 26).
Not all played
notes are sounded The maximum number of notes that the
ep 880 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. 16)
Are the settings for the “Temperament” and
“Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 27)
Is the setting for the “Master Tuning”
correct? (p. 27)
Song doesn’t play
back/ Only the
sound of a
particular
instrument in a
song does not play Are the indicator for the Track buttons
([LEFT] and [RIGHT] buttons)
extinguished? (p. 21)
If the button indicator is out, the music on
that track is not heard. Press the track
button so the indicator is illuminated.
Can’t record Has one of the track buttons for recording
been selected? (p. 22~24)
Tempo of
recorded song or
metronome is off If you select an internal song in which the
tempo changes during the song, and then
record, the tempo will change in the same
way for the
performances. The tempo of the metronome
will also change in the same way.
If you record additional material without
erasing the previously recorded song, the
song will be recorded at the first-recorded
tempo. Please erase the previously recorded
song before you re-record (p. 24).
The recorded
performance has
disappeared Any performance that has been recorded is
deleted when the power to the ep 880 is
turned off. A performance cannot be
restored once it’s been deleted.
If you do not want a performance to be
deleted, use Song Backup (p. 25).
Depressing a
footswitch has no
effect, or the effect
doesn’t stop Is the footswitch connected correctly?
Make sure it is securely connected to the
jack on the rear of the unit.
Reverberation still
audible even with
Reverb turned off Since the ep 880’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. On the
ep 880, the range that is unaffected by the
damper pedal will change depending on the
Key Transpose setting.
