Troubleshooting

If you encounter any problems while using the e/MERGE
module, check the points shown below. If the instrument still
does not operate correctly, please contact the Pearl dealer
where you purchased your e/MERGE module.
The e/MERGE won't turn on.
• Make sure that the AC adapter is correctly plugged into
this instrument and into the AC outlet.
• Make sure that the AC adapter power cord is fully
plugged into the AC adapter.
No sound is heard when the pads are played.
• Check the connections between the e/MERGE and the pads.
• Turn the MASTER OUT knob and the HEADPHONES OUT
knob clockwise.
• Check whether any functions have been set using the PAD
FUNCTION in UTILITY.
No sound can be heard when trying to use the song function or training
function to play back the files on a USB flash drive.
• Turn the INPUT knob clockwise.
• Turn the MASTER OUT knob and the HEADPHONES
OUT knob clockwise.
The metronome sound cannot be heard, even when turned on.
• Raise the INPUT knob.
• If the Master Out setting for the METRONOME is off, the
metronome will not be outputted from the MASTER OUT
L/MONO and R jacks.
• If the metronome output destination is set to the DIRECT
OUT jack in the DIRECT OUT settings, the metronome
will not be outputted from the MASTER OUT L/MONO
and R jacks.
Songs on the USB flash drive will not load.
• Be sure to format the USB flash drive on the e/MERGE
before using it.
• The specs for files that can be loaded into the e/MERGE
are as follows:
· WAV files (PCM format)
· Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz · Bit length: 16 bits
· Maximum 4 hours (stereo/mono)
• Each file added to the USB flash drive needs to be placed
in the root directory (the topmost directory of the USB
flash drive).
Either the music track or the click track cannot be heard in Song mode.
• Check the settings for each track.
• The click track sound will not be outputted from the
MASTER OUT L/MONO, R jacks.
• When setting the song output destination in DIRECT OUT
settings to the DIRECT OUT jacks, sound will not be
outputted from the MASTER OUT L/MONO, R jacks.
• Adjust the BALANCE knob.
The hi-hat does not sound right.
• Calibrate the hi-hat (See "HI-HAT CALIBRATION", p.15).
When I hit two pads at the same time, I only hear sound from one pad.
• The e/MERGE is configured by factory-set default to cancel
out the resonance from other pads when a pad sounds.
Set Crosstalk Cancel to "Off" in TRIGGER PAD in the
UTILITY menu. See the Owner's Manual for details.
