Cause/Remedy
Do you have different external devices plugged
into different power outlets?
When connecting external devices, always draw
power from the same outlet.
The HPi-6S can be set so that the demo begins
playing automatically after the instrument has
remained idle for five to ten minutes.
Switch this setting (Auto Start) to "Off."
Refer to "Setting the Demo (Auto Demo)" (p. 93).
Press the [
] button several times to return to the
notation screen (p. 26), and then select a tone.
Is the volume level of the HPi-6S (p. 18) or
connected device turned all the way down?
Are headphones plugged in?
Has a plug remained connected to the Phones
jack? (p. 18)
When headphones or plugs are connected, the
keyboard's speaker stops playing.
Could the "Balance" setting be set all the way
toward "Accomp" or "Keyboard"? (p. 62)
Has Local Control been set to "Off"?
When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is
produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local
Control to On.(p. 108)
Is V-LINK switched on? (p. 98)
When V-LINK is switched on, the twelve keys at the
left end of the keyboard are used to control
images, and no sounds are played with these keys.
Have all devices been switched on? (p. 107)
Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?
(p. 107)
Does the MIDI channel match the connected
instrument? (p. 108)
Has Local Control been set to "Off"?
When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is
produced by playing the keyboard, Set Local
Control to On (p. 108).
The maximum number of notes that the HPi-6S can
play simultaneously is 128. Frequent use of the
damper pedal when playing along with a song
may result in performance data with too many
notes, causing some notes to drop out.
Is the HPi-6S in Dual performance? (p. 57)
When the HPi-6S is connected to an external
sequencer, set the Local Control to off (p. 108).
Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its Soft
Thru feature is Off.
