Cause/Remedy
Is the power cord connected and plugged in
correctly? (p. 8)
Is the panel locked? (p. 28)
Turn the power off, then back on.
Is the volume level of the HP-2 turned all the
way down? (p. 9)
Are headphones plugged in? (p. 8)
Has a plug remained connected to the Phones
jack?
When headphones are connected, the key-
board's speaker stops playing.
Is Local Off selected?
When Local Control is set to OFF, no sound is
produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local
Control to "ON" (p. 31).
Have all devices been switched on?
Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?
Does the MIDI channel match the connected
instrument? (p. 31)
Is the HP-2 in Dual play? (p. 12)
When the HP-2 is connected to an external
sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p. 31).
Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its
MIDI Thru feature is OFF.
If you use Dual play or Split play with a Tone
button for which tone number 3 or 4 is selected,
tone number 1 will be selected for that Tone
button (p. 11).
Some tones assign the tone that had been se-
lected before you pressed the [Split] button to
the left hand area of the keyboard. Please refer
to "Tone List" (p. 34).
Is the panel locked? (p. 28)
Turn the power off, then back on.
Are the indicators for the [ (Metronome)]
and [Beat] buttons flashing?
Setting of functions is in progress. Press the
[ (Metronome)] or [Beat] button to exit func-
tion mode (p. 26, p. 30).
The maximum number of notes that the HP-2
can play simultaneously is 64.
Frequent use of the damper pedal when play-
ing along with a song may result in perfor-
mance data with too many notes, causing some
notes to drop out.
