• 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. 72).
Problems with the rhythm section
■ Cannot hear the rhythm pattern play back
• Make sure that the [DRUM] status key is lit in green.
• Make sure that the [DRUM] fader is raised. If the fader is
already raised, lower it and then raise it 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, all rhythm songs will be
empty, so you will hear no sound. Either create a new
rhythm song, or load a project for which a rhythm song
has already been created.
• When using Control Change signals sent from an external
MIDI device, the drum kit volume may be lowered. Set
the MIDI channel for the drum kit to OFF or check the
setting at the external MIDI device.
■ Cannot record or edit a rhythm pattern/
rhythm song
• When the [DRUM] key is out or blinking, it is not possible
to record or edit a rhythm pattern or rhythm song. Press
the [DRUM] 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. 93), or stay within the
maximum polyphony when you record.
Problems with MIDI
■ The drum kit of the MRS-802 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
MIDI IN connector on the MRS-802.
• Make sure that the MIDI send channels of the external
device match the MIDI receive channels for the drum kit
at the MRS-802.
■ Cannot synchronize with an external MIDI
device
• Make sure that a MIDI cable is correctly connected from
the MIDI OUT connector of the MRS-802 to the MIDI IN
connector of the external device.
• At the MRS-802, make sure that output is enabled for the
Timing Clock, Song Position Pointer, and Start/Stop/
Continue messages (
→ p. 130).
• 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.
• Files written to a CD-R/RW disc in an open session will
not be recognized. Close the session and then try the load
process again.
■ Cannot play SMF
• Make sure that SMF output is set to "ON" (SMF playing
information is output from the MIDI OUT connector)
(
→ p. 132).
