No sound? Wrong sound? When a problem like this occurs, please check the following points before assuming that the product

is faulty. Many problems can be solved by executing Data Initialization (page 15), after backing up your data to an USB flash

memory device (page 53). If the problem persists, consult your Yamaha dealer.

Touch panel does not respond correctly.



Calibrate the touch panel.

[UTILITY] + PART [COMMON]  [ENTER]

[UTILITY]  [Settings]  [System]  [Calibrate Touch Panel]

No Sound.



Are all sliders set to appropriate levels (other than zero or minimum)?



Is the MONTAGE properly connected to related external equipment (e.g., amplifier, speaker, headphones) via audio cables?

Since the MONTAGE has no built-in speakers, you will need an external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to

properly monitor it (page 14).



Is the power of this synthesizer and any external equipment connected to this synthesizer turned on?



Have you made all the appropriate level settings—including the Master Volume on this synthesizer and the volume settings on

any connected external equipment?

When the Foot Controller is connected to the [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack, press the Foot Controller down.



Is the Local Control parameter set to off?

When the Local Control parameter is set to off, no sound is produced even if you play the keyboard.

[UTILITY]  [Settings]  [MIDI I/O]  "Local Control"



Is a blank Part selected?

If so, assign any sound to the Part or select another Part.



Is the Mute switch for each Part turned on?

When the Mute switch is turned on, no sound is produced even if you play the keyboard.

[PERFORMANCE]  Part selection  "Mute"



Is the Keyboard Control of each Part turned off?

[PERFORMANCE]  Part selection  "Kbd Ctrl"



Is the "Arp Play Only" parameter of each Part turned on?

When this parameter is turned on, the corresponding Part produces sound only via Arpeggio playback.



Are the MIDI volume or MIDI expression settings too low when using the external controller?



Are the effect and filter settings appropriate?

If you are using a filter, try changing the cutoff frequency. Some cutoff settings may filter out all of the sound.



Is "Vocoder" selected as the Insertion Effect Type of the Part?

If so, set the parameters related to the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jack to the appropriate values then play the keyboard while

inputting your voice into the microphone connected to the MONTAGE. Check whether or not the A/D INPUT [GAIN] Knob on

the rear panel is set to the minimum position.
