PROBLEM
Song playback does not start.
The vibrato effect applied when a
Song is recorded sounds different
when it is played back.
An audio song cannot be copied or
cut.
In the Hard Disk Recorder func-
tion, an error message appears and
audio cannot be recorded to the

The Vocal Harmony effect sounds
distorted or out-of-tune.
Appropriate harmony notes are not
produced by the Vocal Harmony
feature.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
If the Song is write-protected ("Prot. 2 Edit" is shown at the upper left
of the Song name):
• The original file may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played
back unless the original file (showing "Prot.2 Orig" at the upper left
of the Song name) is in the same folder.
• The original file name may have been changed. Rename the file with
the original file name (so that "Prot.2 Orig" is shown at the upper left
of the Song name).
• The file icon may have been changed. Songs to which write-protect
has been applied cannot be played back when the file icon of the orig-
inal has been changed.
This may occur when you use SA2 Voices which have their own default
vibrato value. Depending on the Modulation wheel position, the
default vibrato value may be recorded or the modulation wheel value
may be recorded, regardless of the actual vibrato sound you have
played. To remedy this:
• Select a Voice AFTER you set the Modulation wheel to minimum
(down) position.
• If you want to cancel the vibrato effect, set the Modulation wheel to
minimum position AFTER Song recording starts.
The audio song file name (which contains the file path, internally) may
be too long. Shorten the song name or copy/paste the file to a higher
folder level.
The data on the hard disk drive is fragmented and cannot be used as is.
Since there is no defragmentation function in the Hard Disk Recorder,
the drive can only be defragmented by formatting it. To do this, first
back up the data to a computer by using the USB storage mode
(page 97), then format the drive, and finally copy the data back to the
drive (using the USB storage mode again). Performing this copy/restore
operation effectively defragments the drive, allowing you to use it again.
Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as
the Style sound from the Tyros3. In particular, bass sounds can cause
mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this:
• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
• Use a directional microphone.
• Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control
(pages 16, 55).
• Separate the microphone from the external speakers as much as possi-
ble.
• Cut the Low band via the 3 Band EQ function in the MICRO-
PHONE SETTING display (page 109).
• Raise the microphone input level (TH) via the Compressor function
in the MICROPHONE SETTING display (page 109).
Try to change the Vocal Harmony Control setting in the OVERALL
SETTING Page of the Microphone Setting display (page 109). Also
make sure to use the appropriate method to specify the harmony notes
for the selected Vocal Harmony mode. Refer to the Reference Manual.
