7.Troubleshooting
Power dose not turn on
· Is the power cable connected to an AC
outlet?(p.6)
· Is the power switch on?(p.6)
If the problem is still not resolved, contact a
Korg dealer.
No sound
· Is the [MASTER VOLUME] slider of the C-550
raised?(p.6)
· Is the headphone jack in use?(p.6)
· Is the Part volume at "0"?(p.18)
· Is the Part muted?(p.19)
· Is the [DEMO] switch indicator lit?
Turn off the [DEMO] switch. (p.7)
· Make sure that the Local setting is ON.(p.26)
Sound does not change
· Turn off the [DEMO] switch.(p.7)
Sound is interrupted
· The sounds of the C-550 are produced by
samples (recordings) of original instrumental
sounds. For some sounds, pressing a note will
play one sample, and for other sounds, two
samples. The [PIANO1] sound and [BASS]
sounds use two samples. When these sounds
are selected, the maximum number of notes
which can be played simultaneously will be 16,
including notes held by the damper pedal. For
other sounds, the maximum number of
simultaneous notes will be 32. If you are using a
Layer to play two sounds simultaneously, the
maximum number of simultaneous notes will
depend on whether the sounds use one or two
samples. For example if you have layered a
sound that uses one sample with a sound that
uses two samples, the maximum number of
simultaneous notes will be 10. As you use
layers or record multiple parts on the recorder,
be aware of these limits so that you can make
the best use of the available note capacity.
The pitch or tone of a piano sound
appears incorrect in a particular range.
· The piano sounds on this instrument have been
created with the intent of reproducing the actual
sounds of a piano as faithfully as possible.
This means that in some pitch ranges, it may
sound as though overtones are emphasized
differently, or that a certain pitch or range
sounds incorrect, but this is not a malfunction.
