Troubleshooting

This section provides points to check and actions to take when the
GW-7 does not function as you expect. Refer to the appropriate
section for the problem you are experiencing.

Power Does Not Turn On

Is the included AC adaptor/power cord
correctly connected to an AC outlet and to the
GW-7? (p. 9)
Do not use any AC adaptor and power cord other than the one
included. Doing so will cause malfunctions.

No Sound from the GW-7

Could the VOLUME knob be turned down?
If playing the keyboard does not produce
sound, could Local Control be turned OFF?
Turn Local Ctrl ON. (p. 25, p. 26)
Could pedal operations or MIDI messages
(exclusive or volume) received from an
external MIDI device have lowered the
volume?
No Sound from a Specific
Part
Could the volume of the part be turned down?
Adjust the volume parameters (Vol Main, Vol Dual, Vol Split, Vol
ChordBs, Vol Drum, Vol Bass, Vol Backing). (p. 18)
Could you have used the Minus-One function
to mute (silence) a specific part? (p. 23)
Does the MIDI receive channel of the part
match the MIDI transmit channel of the
connected MIDI device?
Set the MIDI channel of the connected external device to match the
GW-7. (p. 26)
No Sound from a Connected
MIDI Device
Are MIDI messages being transmitted?
Turn MIDI TxRx to a setting other than OFF. (p. 25, p. 26)
Does the MIDI transmit channel of the GW-7's
keyboard controller section match the MIDI
receive channel of the connected MIDI device?
Set the MIDI channel of the connected external device to match the
GW-7. (p. 26)
28
No Sound in a Specific
Range of Pitches
Some tones, such as drum sets or bass tones,
have a limited range of pitches.

Effects Are Not Applied

The reverb and chorus effects for the
keyboard parts won't be applied if their
amounts are set to 0.
Raise the Cho Main, Cho Dual, Cho Split, Rev Main, Rev Dual, and
Rev Split settings above 0. (p. 19)
If MFX is not OFF, chorus is not applied to
Main mode/the upper part of Split mode/the
first tone of Dual mode.

The Effect Sounds Wrong

If Tone MFX is OFF, some combinations of
tones and effects may sound different in
comparison to other tones.
Turn the Tone MFX setting ON. Alternatively, select a different MFX
type. (p. 19)
Pitch Bend Not Obtained
When Pitch Bend Lever Is
Moved
Could the pitch bend range be set to 0?
Set the P.Bend Range to a value other than 0. (p. 25)
Sound Is Alternately Heard
from Left and Right
(Panned) Each Time You
Play a Note
Some tones alternately pan the sound to left
and right each time you play a note.
You cannot change this setting for these tones.
If the Pan Main, Pan Dual, or Pan Split
parameters are set to Rnd, the sound will
alternate between left and right each time you
play a note. (p. 18)
