Solution
Make sure that (1) the power cable is plugged into the outlet, (2) the cable is plugged into the connector on
the back of the instrument, (3) and is not damaged, (4) there are no problems with the mains.
Is the POWER switch turned ON?
Is the STANDBY switch turned ON and its LED green?
If the power still does not turn on, contact your dealer or the nearest KORG Service Center.
Check the connections to your amp or mixer.
Make sure that all the components of the amplifying system are turned on.
Is the amplification bar correctly installed?
Is the MASTER VOLUME slider of the Pa3X set to a position other than "0"?
Is the Local parameter set to Off? Turn it On.
Is the Attack parameter value too high? Set it to a lower value, to let the sound start faster. Is the Volume
parameter too low? Set it to a higher value.
When the SPLIT button is lit up, the keyboard will be divided into the Lower part (low notes, below the split
point) and the Upper part (high notes, above the split point). Is the Lower track muted? Unmute it.
Do the USER banks contain modified data? Load the appropriate data for the Song or the Style you wish to
playback.
Has one of the USER Drum Kits been modified? Load the appropriate Drum Kits.
Have the Styles or Performances been modified? Load the appropriate data (Styles or Performances).
Make sure that the damper switch calibration parameter is set correctly.
Make sure that the Clock parameter is set to Internal. If you are using the MIDI Clock of another device, you
must set the MIDI Clock parameter to MIDI or USB (depending on the port the Pa3X is hooked to the other
device through) and make sure that the external device transmits MIDI Clock data.
Make sure that all MIDI or USB cables are connected correctly.
Make sure that the external device is transmitting through MIDI channels enabled to receive in the Pa3X.
Make sure that the MIDI IN Filters of the Pa3X do not prevent the reception of messages.
Make sure that the Drum track is set to Drum Mode and the external device has not transposition applied.
This is part of the sound, and not a problem.
The selected Performance, Style or STS recalled the effect "17 St. Analog Record", simulating the noise of a
old vinyl recording.
The Vocoder effect has been assigned to the FX processor. This deactivates the Voice processor.
Voice Processor effects can only be applied to the microphone input
