Could you have changed the way in which the pedal effect is applied?
The pedal will apply only to the right tone if you’ve assigned the right pedal part to the right, or only to the left tone if you’ve assigned
it to the left.
Could Twin Piano be turned on?
If Twin Piano is on, the right pedal will apply only to the right-hand section of the keyboard, and the left pedal will apply only to the
left-hand section of the keyboard.

Not all the notes you
play are sounded
The maximum simultaneous polyphony is 128 notes. If you’re using the Dual play, if you’re playing along with a song, or if you’re
making extensive use of the damper pedal, the performance data may exceed the available polyphony, possibly causing some of the
notes you play to drop out.

Notes don’t sound right
Pitch of the keyboard
or song is incorrect
Could you have made Transpose settings?
Is the Master Tune setting appropriate?
Is the setting for the Temperament correct?
Sounds are heard
twice (doubled) when
the keyboard is played
Is the RP201 in Dual play mode?
When the RP201 is connected to an external sequencer, set the Local Control to off. Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its
Soft Thru feature is Off.
The wrong instrument
is selected when you
press the [E. Piano],
[Strings], or [Others]
button
The Tone buttons [E. Piano], [Strings], and [Others] also operate as buttons that select “Recommended Tones.”
With the factory settings, connecting the RP201 to a computer running “VIMA TUNES PLAYER” and selecting a song produced for the
VIMA (VIMA TUNES) will automatically cause sounds appropriate for that song to be assigned to the [E. Piano], [Strings], and [Others]
Tone buttons, so that you can select “recommended” sounds by pressing one of these buttons.
You can also make settings so that “recommended” sounds are not automatically assigned.
Effect not applied
When you are using Dual performance or Split performance, and different effects are specified for the two selected tones, the effect
will not be applied to Tone 2 (when using Dual performance) or the left-hand tone (when using Split performance).
