Problem
Performance in Dual or Split
mode is not recorded.
Track data is lost unexpectedly.
I cannot change the time signa-
ture in the song after recording.
The song title is not correct.
When I turn on the power to the
P-250 in the normal way (without
trying to reset it to the default
settings), the performance file
(that was selected before shut-
down) is not loaded.
Possible causes
For Dual or Split mode recording, the
recording track for the second voice or
the voice for the left-hand part is automat-
ically assigned (page 50). Therefore, if
the track already contains data, the data
will be overwritten during recording. Also,
switching to Dual mode or Split mode in
the middle of a song is not recorded.
Therefore, the notes you play with the
second voice (or the notes lower than the
Split point) will not be recorded.
Due to limitations, the time signature of
some recorded songs may not be
changed after the recording is complete.
The "CharacterCode" setting may be dif-
ferent than that used when you named
the song. Also, if the song was recorded
on another instrument, the title might be
displayed incorrectly.
The "CharacterCode" setting (page 53)
has been changed since you named the
performance file.
Before shutdown, the performance file
was erased.
Storage memory may be defective.
Solution
This is normal.
Press the [TOP] button to locate the top of the
song, use the B [–]/[+] buttons to locate the mea-
sure in which you wish to change the time signa-
ture, then change it.
Use the "CharacterCode" parameter (page 55) in
the "SONG FILE" menu to change the setting.
However, if the song was recorded on another
instrument, changing the "CharacterCode" param-
eter setting may not resolve the problem.
Set the "CharacterCode" parameter to the previ-
ous setting you made when you named the perfor-
mance file.
Save the desired performance file to memory and
load it again.
If the symptom does not go away, back up the files
in memory, then set the "FactorySet" parameter to
"MemoryFileIncluded" and reset the unit to the
default settings.
