Troubleshooting

If any of the following problems should occur, carefully
examine the instrument to see if you can discern what the
trouble may be, and try resolving it by following the sug-
gestions below. If the instrument still does not function
properly, please contact your dealer.
The instrument will not turn on
• Check that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the
piano and the outlet.
• Make sure that the power cord is fully plugged into the
AC adapter.
No sound
• Is the cable from the speaker box connected securely to
the speaker connector on the Poetry?
• Be sure that the volume is set to an adequate level, and
not set to the MIN value.
• Make sure that the MIDI Local function is not set on
OFF (see page 18). If it is, set it to ON (or turn the in-
strument off and then on again).
• Check to see that nothing is connected to the headphone
jacks; any connection to either of these jacks will mute
the internal speakers.
Notes are interrupted or sound generation is heavy
The maximum polyphony may have been exceeded; see
"About maximum polyphony."
The sound has changed.
Effects such as reverb and chorus are saved with each
sound.
The effect settings that are applied differ depending on the
order that sounds are selected in Layer Mode or the sounds
selected for a User Song; therefore, different nuances may
be heard even with the same combination of sounds. Be
careful when selecting sounds.
The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some key
regions
The Poetry's piano sounds replicate the sound of an actual
piano as faithfully as possible. This means that in some re-
gions of the keyboard, you may feel that certain overtones
seem stronger, affecting the pitch or tone. This is not a mal-
function.
Your external MIDI device does not respond to MIDI data
sent from the Poetry.
• Make sure that all MIDI cables are correctly connected.
• Make sure that the Poetry is transmitting MIDI data on
the same channel that the MIDI device is receiving on.
About maximum polyphony
If the number of notes being played simultaneously exceeds
the maximum polyphony, some notes will be lost. The Po-
etry is equipped with a mechanism that stops the first note
played to give priority to notes played later. Some Poetry
sounds, although they may be a single sound, are generated
by two or more oscillators (one note of a sound-generating
circuit). Sounds using just one oscillator, such as the bank
1 and 2 sounds of the VIBES/GUITAR button, have a maxi-
mum polyphony of 120 notes. Sounds using two oscillators,
such as the bank 1 and 2 sounds of the E.PIANO2 button,
have a maximum polyphony of 60 notes.
120 ÷ Number of sound oscillators = Maximum polyphony
20
Keep the maximum polyphony in mind and carefully
choose sounds when using Layer Mode to play two sounds
simultaneously or when using the damper pedal.
