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 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)
