If you want sound to be produced from headphones or external speakers, is the device connected correctly?

Could the “Local Control” setting be turned
“Off”?
In function mode, turn the “Local Control” setting “On.” p. 34
Pitch of the keyboard or

In function mode, use the “Keyboard Transpose” and “Song
Transpose” settings to defeat transposition.
p. 32
Is the Master Tune setting appropriate?

“Local Control” setting “Off.”
p. 34
Reverberation remains
even if you defeat the
Ambience effect
This is because an acoustic piano’s sense of depth and resonance is being faithfully simulated, and is not a
malfunction. Even if you turn off the acoustic ambience effects, the distinctive resonance of an acoustic piano
will remain.
–
The sound of the higher
notes suddenly changes
from a certain key
This simulates the characteristics of an acoustic piano, and is not a malfunction.
The sound will change where there is a change in the number of strings per key or a transition from wound
strings to unwound strings.
–
When you press a key,
the sound of a note
you didn’t press is also
faintly heard
In some cases, a note you play might
cause a different note (whose frequency
is an integer multiple of the first note)
to resonate, producing the sensation
that the sound has changed; this is not a
malfunction.
Lower the Piano Designer’s “String Resonance” value, or turn it
off.
p. 26
High-pitched ringing is
heard
If you don’t hear it through headphones:
It may be that the piano has malfunctioned. Please contact your dealer or a Roland customer service center.
If you also hear it through headphones:
To decrease the metallic ringing, adjust the following settings.
•Ambience (p. 20)
•Piano Designer “String Resonance” (p. 26)
–
Low notes sound
wrong, or are buzzy
Could the volume be set to maximum?
If the volume is at the maximum, the sound might be distorted
depending on how you play the piano. If this occurs, lower the
volume.
p. 6,
p. 10
If you also hear it through headphones:
It may be that the piano has malfunctioned. Please contact your dealer or a Roland customer service center.
If you don’t hear it through headphones:
Objects near the piano are resonating because of the high volume of sound coming from the speakers. You
can take the following measures to minimize resonances.
5 Keep the volume down.
5 Locate the speakers 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other surfaces.
5 Move away from the objects that are resonating.
–
The sound is heard
differently depending
on the tone settings
When using “Dual play” which layers two tones, or “Split play” which produces different tones in the left-hand
and right-hand, the sound might be heard differently depending on the specific combination. For some
combinations, the effect is not applied to the left-hand tone or to tone 2, but this is not a malfunction.
