Troubleshooting

Power does not turn on

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?

If the power still does not turn on, contact your dealer or the nearest KORG Service Cen-
ter.

No sound

Is a jack connected to the HEADPHONES connector? This would disable the internal 
speakers.

Check the connections of your amp or mixer.

Make sure that all the components of the amplifying system are turned on.

Are the MASTER VOLUME or ASSIGN.SLIDER sliders of the Pa50SD set to a position other 
than “0”?

Is the Local parameter set to Off? Turn it On.

Is the Speaker 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.

Lowest note are not played

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.

Wrong sounds

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 Per-
formances).

Sound does not stop

Make sure that the damper switch polarity parameter is set correctly.

The selected Style or Song can-
not start

Make sure that the Clock parameter is set to Int. If you are using the MIDI Clock of 
another device, you must set the MIDI Clock parameter to MIDI, and make sure that the 
external device transmits MIDI Clock data.

sages

Make sure that all MIDI cables are connected correctly.

Make sure that the external device is transmitting through MIDI channels enabled to 
receive in the Pa50SD.

sages.

external device has not transposition applied.

Some “clicks” can be heard 
when playing a percussive 
instrument

This is part of the sound, and not a problem.

A background noise can be 
heard after selecting a Perfor-
mance, Style or STS

The selected Performance, Style or STS recalled the effect “15 Analog Record”, simulating 
the noise of a old vinyl recording.
