MIDI Problems

If you are experiencing problems sending MIDI to an external module, check these:
¥ MIDI cable not securely plugged in at both ends.
¥ Wrong MIDI connections. To send MIDI, plug into the Stage PianoÕs MIDI Out
connector and the moduleÕs MIDI In connector. DonÕt assume; read the jack labels.
¥ Defective MIDI cable (refer to page 7-8 for how you can check MIDI cables with the
Stage PianoÕs diagnostic software).
¥ MIDI Transmit channel speciÞed by current setup does not match that of the
receiving device.
If there are problems with the internal sound module receiving MIDI from an external
device like a computer sequencer, try these:
¥ Transmitting device not sending MIDI on Channel 1.
¥ MIDI cable not securely plugged in at both ends.
¥ Wrong MIDI connections. To receive MIDI, plug into the Stage PianoÕs MIDI In
connector and the sourceÕs MIDI Out connector.
Prerecorded General MIDI (or G or XG) sequences may not play through the Stage
Piano correctly. Here is a list of differences between the Stage PianoÕs internal sound
module and a typical General MIDI module:
¥ Most of the sound program numbers are different.
¥ The Stage Piano does not respond to Pitchbend messages.
¥ Effects setting messages are different.
¥ Only received on MIDI Channel 1.

Switch Pedal Problems

If you are having problems with the included switch pedal or an aftermarket pedal,
check these:
¥ If Sostenuto is stuck on when using the included pedal, be sure the pedal is plugged
in before switching on the power. Turn power off then on if necessary.
¥ If the pedal is acting backward (active when up instead of down), turn power off
then on. Be sure the pedal is plugged in before turning power on and donÕt use the
pedal until after the unit has completed its power up sequence.
¥ If a dual pedal is not working correctly, check its wiring as described below.
