• Has the WaveNumber parameter of the OSC Wave screen of Voice Edit Element been set to 000 (off)? (Page 89)
• Is the Level parameter of the OSC Out screen in Voice Edit Element sufficiently high? (Page 89)
• Have the note range/velocity (note) range of the ZONE, OSC screen in Voice Edit been set appropriately? (Page 90)
• Are any of the Elements muted? (Page 61)

• When playing back a song using the internal sequencer or an external MIDI device, have the volume and expression
parameters been set appropriately?
• When playing performances using the internal sequencer or an external MIDI device, have the transmit channels for each
sequencer track and the receive channels for each Part in the Performance, been set correctly? (Page 133)
• For Performances, is the volume of each Part sufficiently high? (Page 130)
• For Performances, has the output for each Part been set correctly? (Page 133)
• Is the selected Phrase Clip empty? (Page 142)
• Have you selected EXT Memory without having inserted a Memory Card? (Page 28)
• Has the [ATTACK] knob been turned fully clockwise (resulting in a very slow attack)?
