Troubleshooting
Checking the MIDI Cable
Here’s a quick way to check a MIDI cable, to make sure it’s properly conducting signals.
n Before starting this, set the S08 to Voice mode and make sure that the S08 is properly outputting sound when you play the
keyboard.
1 Disable keyboard control over the tone generator by setting Local Sw (PAGE 12 in the Utility mode) to “off.” In
this condition, playing the keyboard does not produce any sound. (page 67)
2 Directly connect the MIDI cable in question — one end to the MIDI IN terminal of the S08, the other to the MIDI
OUT. This sets up an external MIDI “loop,” routing the keyboard of the S08 to its tone generator, by way of the
MIDI cable (and not by Local Switch).
3 Set the Host Select parameter in Utility mode to “MIDI.” (PAGE 13)
4 Set the Receive Channel parameter (PAGE 3 in the Utility mode) to “omni” (all channels). This allows the Voice
to respond to the incoming MIDI data, regardless of the MIDI Transmit Channel setting for the keyboard.
5 Play the keyboard. If you’ve made all the above settings correctly and you hear the Voice, the MIDI cable is intact.
n Keep in mind that the cable or connections could still be faulty, even if you hear sound — especially if the sound is
intermittent or cuts in and out.
n After conducting this check, make sure to reset the Local Sw (PAGE 12 in the Utility mode) to “on,” if necessary. If you
leave this set to “off,” the S08 keyboard will not control its own sounds.
Cannot play back or stop a song even by pressing the [PLAY/STOP]
button.
Is a song of SMF (Standard MIDI File) format 0 assigned to the chain step? (Page 51)
Does the SMF (Standard MIDI File) song assigned to the chain step have the extension “.MID”? (Page 51)
Has the Sync parameter been set to “MIDI”? (Page 66) Normally, make sure that Sync is set to “Int,” except when
using the S08 as a MIDI “slave” in synchronization with other devices.
Is the Sequence Play mode active? If the S08 is set to anything other than Sequence Play mode, the [PLAY/STOP]
button functions as the [STORE] button.
Playback of a song file sometimes stops temporarily.
When a song on Memory Card is played back, the reading of data from the card and playback of the song is done
simultaneously. If the amount of song data is too great, playback may lag somewhat behind reading of the data. If this
is the case, delete unnecessary data from the tracks of the file on your sequencer software or set the playback tempo
slightly slower than normal.
Memory Card files cannot be loaded/saved/imported.
Are you trying to load files from subdirectories on the Memory Card? The S08 can only handle root directory files.
Does the root directory of the Memory Card contain more than 100 files? Memory Cards for the S08 can handle up to
100 files for each of the following: All File (file types handled by Save/Load), All Voice File (file types handled by the
Voice Editor for S08) and SMFs.
When importing a file with the Macintosh Voice Editor for S08, enter an “.S6V” extension to the file name on the
computer, then save it to the Memory Card.
Memory Card files cannot be renamed/deleted.
Only file types of the All File (file types handled by Save/Load) designation can be used with the Rename/Delete
functions. All Voice File (file types handled by the Voice Editor for S08) and SMFs cannot be renamed/deleted.
