■ Send/return effect does not apply
• Make sure that the [CHORUS/DELAY] or [REVERB]
key is lit. If it is out, press the key several times to make
it light.
• For each channel of the mixer, make sure that the
REVERB SEND or CHORUS/DELAY SEND parameter
is turned on. If it is on, make sure that the send level is
raised ( → p. 80).
Problems with the rhythm section
■ Cannot hear the rhythm pattern play back
• Make sure that the [DRUM]/[BASS] status keys are lit in
green.
• Make sure that the [DRUM]/[BASS] faders are raised. If
the faders are already raised, lower them and then raise
them once more.
• Make sure that you have not selected a blank rhythm
pattern (pattern name "EMPTY").
■ Cannot hear the rhythm song play back
• In the case of a new project, the rhythm song has not yet
been created, so you will hear no sound. Either create the
rhythm song, or load a project for which a rhythm song
has been created.
• When using Control Change signals sent from an external
MIDI device, the drum or bass volume may be lowered.
Set the MIDI channels for drum and bass to OFF or check
the setting at the external MIDI device.
■ No sound when you tap the pads
• If the pad sensitivity has been set to "SOFT", loud sounds
will not be produced even when you tap the pad strongly.
Change the setting to "NORMAL", "LITE", or "LOUD"
( →p. 115).
■ Cannot record or edit a rhythm pattern/rhythm song
• When the [RHYTHM] key is out or blinking, it is not
possible to record or edit a rhythm pattern or rhythm
song. Press the [RHYTHM] key to make the key light.
• If the display indicates "FULL", this means that you have
used up the rhythm section memory. Please delete
unneeded rhythm patterns.
■ Sounds recorded in the rhythm pattern do not play
• Sounds that exceed the maximum polyphony will not be
played. Either delete some of the other notes that have
already been recorded ( →p. 101, 105), or stay within the
maximum polyphony when you record.
Problems with MIDI
■ The MRS-1266's drum/bass sounds cannot be played
from an external MIDI device
• Make sure that a MIDI cable is correctly connected from
the MIDI OUT connector of the external device to the
MRS-1266's MIDI IN connector.
• Make sure that the MIDI send channels of the external
device match the MIDI receive channels for drum/bass
track at the MRS-1266.
■ Cannot synchronize with an external MIDI device
• Make sure that a MIDI cable is correctly connected from
the MIDI OUT connector of the MRS-1266 to the MIDI
IN connector of the external device.
• At the MRS-1266, make sure that output is enabled for
the Timing Clock, Song Position Pointer, and Start/Stop/
Continue messages ( →p. 148).
• Make sure that the external MIDI device is set to receive
the Timing Clock and synchronize to it.
• Make sure that the external MIDI device is in playback
mode.
■ Cannot load SMF from CD-ROM or CD-R/RW disc
• Make sure that the SMF is Format 0 and that the file name
and extension are appropriate.
■ Cannot play SMF
• Make sure that SMF output is set to "ON" (SMF playing
information is output from the MIDI OUT connector) ( →
p. 151).
