Check/Solution
Is a TW-Organ 1–10 Tone selected?
Effects are applied differently to the Tone Wheel than they are with other effects.
When Tone Wheel is selected for multiple Parts, it is applied to all the Parts.
Is the Modulation FX set to OFF?
In some cases where the delay timing selected in the DELAY settings in Effects is set to a note value, the
delay sound may not be heard. Either adjust the tempo or change the numerical value of the delay timing.
Could you have selected an organ tone?
For some of the organ tones, the modulation lever cannot be used to apply a modulation effect. For such
tones, the modulation lever is used to switch the rotary effect between slow and fast.
Could you have selected the SuperNATURAL E. Piano sound?
You can't apply modulation effects to the SuperNATURAL E. Piano sound.
Is the Harmonic Bar screen appearing in the display?
The pitch bend effect cannot be applied with the pitch bend lever while the Harmonic Bar screen is in the
display. In this case, the pitch bend lever functions as a slow/fast switch for the Rotary effect.
In some Tones, the settings are such that sounds randomly play from the left or right side (are panned) each
time the keys are pressed. These settings cannot be changed.
Sounds can be distorted due to equalizer, multi-effect, and Part volume settings.
Adjust the following settings.
• LAYER LEVEL sliders
• Equalizer Input Gain settings
• [DRIVE] knob (AMP SIM section)
Is a distortion-type effect being applied to the sound?
Is the [SPLIT] button set to OFF?
Key Range goes into effect when the [SPLIT] button set to ON.
Depending on the Tone selected, pitches played in certain registers will be changed and played at other
pitches.
Is Coarse Tune or Fine Tune set for any specific Layer?
Check the following settings.
• Layer EDIT Coarse Tune, Fine Tune
• Coarse Tune and Fine Tune setting in MIDI CONTROL screen
Has the RD-800 gone out of tune?
Check the following settings.
• System Master Tune settings
• System Temperament settings
• Tuning settings in Individual Note Voicing
Has the pitch been changed by pedal operations or by Pitch Bend messages received from an external MIDI
device?
Have you set Transpose?
Could layer transpose settings have been made?
When you try playing more than the maximum 128 voices simultaneously, sounds currently being played
may be cut off.
Increase the Voice Reserve settings for the Parts you do not want to have cut off.
Is the pedal polarity reversed?
Check the System Pedal Polarity settings.
Is the Device ID number of the transmitting device matched to the RD-800's Device ID number?
Make sure that the transmitting unit is set to Device ID number 17.
Is the audio data playable?
Make sure that the audio data can be played by the RD-800.
Could the EQ Mode be set to "REMAIN"?
Change the setting to "LIVE SET. "
Could the Pedal Mode be set to "REMAIN"?
Change the setting to "TONE/LIVE SET. "
* However, the pedal settings won't change if you've switched tones via MIDI or in the LAYER EDIT screen.
Could the S1/S2 Mode be set to "REMAIN"?
Change the setting to "TONE/LIVE SET. "
* However, the [S1] [S2] button settings won't change if you've switched tones via MIDI or in the LAYER EDIT
screen.
Could the Assign 1-5 Mode be set to "REMAIN"?
Change the setting to "TONE/LIVE SET. "
* However, the Assign 1–5 settings won't change if you've switched tones via MIDI or in the LAYER EDIT
screen.
Could the Delay Mode be set to "REMAIN"?
Change the setting to "TONE/LIVE SET. "
* However, the delay settings won't change if you've switched tones via MIDI or in the LAYER EDIT screen.
