This section provides points to check and actions to take when the GW-8 does not function as you expect. Refer to the appropriate<br />
section for the problem you are experiencing.<br />
Problem Check/Solution Page<br />
Power Does Not Turn On<br />
Is the included AC adaptor/power cord correctly connected to an AC outlet and<br />
to the GW-8?<br />
• Do not use any AC adaptor and power cord other than the one included.<br />
Doing so will cause malfunctions.<br />
p. 14<br />
Could the VOLUME knob be turned down? —<br />
No Sound from the GW-8<br />
If playing the keyboard does not produce sound, could Local Switch be turned<br />
OFF?<br />
• Turn Local Switch ON.<br />
Could pedal operations or MIDI messages (exclusive or volume) received from<br />
an external MIDI device have lowered the volume?<br />
Could the volume of the Part be turned down?<br />
• Adjust the volume parameters in the PERFORM MIXER screen.<br />

No Sound from a Specific Part<br />
Could you have used the Minus-One function to mute (silence) a specific Part? p. 30<br />
Does the MIDI receive channel of the part match the MIDI transmit channel of the<br />
connected MIDI device?<br />
• Set the MIDI channel of the connected external device to match the GW-8.<br />

No Sound from a Connected MIDI<br />
Device<br />
Effects Are Not Applied<br />
The Effect Sounds Wrong<br />
Pitch Bend Not Obtained When<br />
Pitch Bend Lever Is Moved<br />
Sound Is Distorted<br />
Are MIDI messages being transmitted?<br />
• Turn MIDI TxRx to a setting other than OFF.<br />
Does the MIDI transmit channel of the GW-8’s keyboard controller section match<br />
the MIDI receive channel of the connected MIDI device?<br />
• Set the MIDI channel of the connected external device to match the GW-8.<br />
The reverb and chorus effects for the keyboard parts won’t be applied if their<br />
amounts are set to 0.<br />
• Check the Effect Send settings.<br />
MFX will apply only to the realtime performance of the part you play by hand<br />
(the Upper Part or Lower Part). Be aware that MFX will not apply to recorded<br />
song data.<br />
Some combinations of Tones and effects may sound different in comparison to<br />
other Tones.<br />
• Check the Effect Source settings.<br />
Could the Pitch Bend Range be set to 0?<br />
• Set the Pitch Bend Range to a value other than 0.<br />
For some effect or Part volume settings, the sound may distort. Adjust the following<br />
parameters.<br />
• Volume parameters in the PERFORM MIXER screen<br />
• Amount of reverb or chorus for the Effect Send settings<br />
• Overall volume and volume balance<br />
Could you be applying an effect such as overdrive or distortion which intentionally<br />
distorts the sound?<br />
