Trouble Shooting

Symptom	Probable cause	Remedy
Silent channels	Error in redirection in CASM section	Change redirection
	Empty channels	Record something
Style doesn't work at all	Missing/misspelled "SFF1" ("SFF2") and/or "SInt" Text Marker in the first measure	Correct/add these
	Style file not saved as Format 0	Save in Format 0
Hanging notes	A "Note Off" event is missing	Check note events in MIDI part
	An error in the note length definition	Correct the note length
Chords sounds bad	Mismatch in source key and Chord Root/Type setting in CASM	Change the Chord Root/Type setting in CASM
Missing parts	Misspelled markers	Correct the spelling. Capitalization and spaces matters
Keyboard suddenly stops	Empty measures within a part	Record something
Silent keyboard (older models only)	Order of style parts	Try moving the Main A part to be the first part in MIDI
	Missing Main A part	Create a Main A part
Channels in wrong octave	Mismatch between recorded notes and Note Low and High Limits in CASM	As the Note Limit values overrules the octave of the recorded notes, define the desired octave by setting Note Low and High Limits
Balance between instruments	Some instruments too loud or too weak	Change the Master Volume in channels
Style error when loading	Missing Main A part (older models only)	Create a Main A Part
	Style file too large	Remove some style parts. Use Style ReMixer software for this.
Wrong instruments	A wrong instrument is playing	The keyboard has a "fall-back" procedure which will make the General MIDI voice sound, if a non-existing voice in the keyboard is defined. Use Style Revoicer for correct voice settings.
Style sound bad in a MIDI Player	Ordinary MIDI Players can not read CASM	The style is not interpreted correctly anywhere else than in a keyboard. Always use this method to check a style.
Instrument not triggered	The "Note On" tick occurs BEFORE the part Text Marker	Move the "Note On" tick inside part boundaries
