Troubleshooting

When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced.

• This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

• Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument.

The Style does not sound as you play a chord

• The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g., some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).
• Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.
• Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.
