Troubleshooting
If you suspect any malfunction, check the following suggestions. If the problem per-
sists, contact your nearest Korg distributor.
Power does not turn on
· Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected to the SP-170 and the AC outlet.
· Make sure that the power switch on the rear panel is set to ON.
No sound from the speakers
· Rotate the [VOLUME] knob on the rear panel toward MAX.
· The speakers will be muted if the headphones are connected.
Sound is interrupted
· The preset sounds of the SP-170 have been created by sampling (recording) the
sounds of actual instruments, then analyzing and processing the samples. When
you press a key, some sounds play a single piece of sampled data, while other
sounds play two pieces of sampled data. The SP-170 uses two pieces of data for most
of its preset sounds. When one of these two-sample sounds is selected (regardless of
whether the damper pedal is being pressed), the maximum polyphony is 60 notes.
However, with two Piano sounds, the maximum polyphony is 120 notes. If the maxi-
mum polyphony is exceeded, some of the notes will be lost.
The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some key regions
·
The SP-170’s piano sounds replicate the sound of an actual piano as faithfully as pos-
sible. This means that in some regions of the keyboard, you may feel that the over-
tones seem stronger, or that the tone or pitch seems wrong. This is not a malfunction
.
Pedal is not effective
· Make sure that the pedal cable is properly connected.
Connected MIDI device does not respond to MIDI messages
· Make sure that all MIDI cables are properly connected.
· Make sure that the SP-170 is transmiing MIDI data on the same MIDI channel as
that of the connected MIDI device.
