• Has the currently selected part been muted? 

• Make sure that Local On is selected. (☞p.70)

• The sounds of the SP-500 are created by sampling 

(recording) the sounds of actual instruments. 
Some sounds play a single piece of sampled data 
when you press a key, while other sounds play 
two pieces of sampled data. When one of these 
two-sample sounds are selected, the maximum 
polyphony is 32 notes. For other sounds (i.e., one-
sample sounds), the maximum polyphony is 64 
notes. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, 
some of the notes will be lost. If you use layer or 
split to play two sounds simultaneously, the max-
imum polyphony will depend on whether one-
sample or two-sample sounds are used. For 
example if you combine a one-sample sound and 
a two-sample sound, the maximum polyphony 
will be 21 notes. When using layer or split, or 
when recording multiple parts on the recorder, be 
aware of the sounds you combine, so that you 
can take full advantage of the SP-500’s potential.

• The piano sounds of the SP-500 simulate a real 

piano as closely as possible. For this reason, it 
may appear that certain overtones are empha-
sized in certain

 

ranges, this is not a malfunction.

• Since some sounds have an upper limit to the 

pitch they can produce, playing them in the high 
range may produce no sound, or may re-assign 
the notes to a lower octave.

• Has the pedal connected to the Damper Pedal 

jack been unplugged? (☞p.33)

• Is the Assignable Pedal set appropriately? 

• You must connect the DS-1H (sold separately) 

before you turn on the power. After turning on 
the power, press the pedal deeply before you 
begin using it.

• Is the part set to “Rec”? (☞p.49)

• Make sure that the MIDI cable is connected cor-

rectly. (☞p.69)

• Make sure that the SP-500 is transmitting MIDI 

data on the same channel that is being received 
by the external device. (☞p.69)

• Is the MIDI channel (part) correct? (☞p.69)
