discontinuities in the delay sound, and is not a
malfunction.
Some effects, such as S19: St.Record, generate noise
intentionally. It is also possible to make a resonant
filter oscillate. Please check the settings.
Note that if you use the following effects with the
routing described below, a feedback loop will be
created, possibly producing a loud noise. Please use
caution.
If the signal from an oscillator or timbre/track
output, or the signal after an insert effect, is sent to
the FX Control bus and that signal is output
directly, with this output sent to the FX Control bus,
a loud noise may be output. (It is also possible that
a DC component will be output at the maximum
level, producing silence.)
• When using S03: St.Limitr or S06: St.Gate, and the
"Env Sel" of these effects is set as either FX Ctl1 or
FX Ctl2, and "Trigger Monitor" is On (editable only
by using microSTATION Editor / Plug‐In Editor).
• When using D09:Vocoder, and the "Mod Src" of this
effect is set as either FX Ctl1 or FX Ctl2, and
"Modulator High Mix" is set to other than 0
(editable only by using microSTATION Editor /
Plug‐In Editor).

Troubleshooting Programs and Combinations
Songs
The sound of the program selected for a
track is different than when played in
Program mode
When you select a program for a track in Sequencer
mode, the arpeggiator and effect settings of
Program mode are not assigned automatically.
You can use the SEQ EDIT command "Copy ARP,"
"Copy IFX," or "Copy MFX/TFX" etc. to copy the
Program mode settings. PG p. 48
Song does not play correctly after being
loaded
Are the programs used by the song the same as
when the song was created?
When saving the song, it is best to use Save All so
that the programs are saved together with the song.
Then when loading, load both the .PCG and the
.SEQ data. PG p. 69
Playback does not start when you press the
Start/Stop button in Sequencer mode
Is the Clock (Global/Media: MIDI–MIDI Clock) set
to Internal or Auto? PG p. 62
Can't record in Sequencer mode
Did you select the MIDI track that you want to
record?
Is the Memory Protect Song off (Global/Media:
Basic)? p. 55, PG p. 60
Is the Clock (Global/Media: MIDI–MIDI Clock) set
to Internal or Auto? PG p. 62
When using loop recording, could you be in
Rehearsal mode?
Turn off Rehearsal mode. p. 36
After using the song command "Copy
Combi" to copy a combination, you can't
record the arpeggiator as when you were
playing that combination
Were the settings correct when you executed Copy
Combi? p. 43
In the Copy Combi settings, set "Multi Rec?" to Yes
before you execute the copy. These settings will be
made automatically.
Can't record program changes
Is the MIDI filter "Prog Chg" turned On for each
track? This is Off by default.
Turn the MIDI filter "Prog Chg" On for each track
before you record.

data. Is the Global/Media mode MIDI Filter
"SysEX" turned On? This is Off by default.
