Whitt Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I am wondering if any other users have experienced an issue with stage settings that use the arpeggio function? Specifically I am finding that when I select the stage settings for SWeingart Rhodes or Herbie Roadz that the panning function sometimes works and sometimes is not there. I have tried a variety of headphones and cables, but nothing seems to be at the root of the issue. Sometimes I can switch the Px-5s off and it will be back and other times it is still missing. Do you think this might an issue with the hardware? The basic Rhodes sound is there, but the panning effect is missing.Thanks,Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Have you checked the firmware version on your PX-5s? Sys setting>information. Latest is V1.13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitt Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Brad,Yes, I am running v. 1.13 firmware. Any other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 So the arpeggiator is not active sometimes and sometimes it is? The arp is the source of the panning effect so that sounds like what is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitt Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 The light on the Arpeggio select flashes, but sometimes the effect is very present panning hard left and right and sometimes it is not there at all. Other Rhodes patches that have panning but that do not use the Arepeggio function still demonstrate panning effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I've never heard of this happening before. Perhaps install the stage setting in another location using the original downloaded file. Something weird is up. If that fails, I would backup your work and initialize the 5s to factory settings then try installing the stage setting again.

Whitt Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Brad I will try moving the location. I have tried downloading the patch from the downloads section and installing with the editor, but this did not seem to help. I do have the Alt file loaded and have moved the stage settings around.Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Are you listening to your PX-5S in stereo? Something tells me that when you're not hearing the arpeggio pan the sound left to right, you're listening in Mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitt Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi Mike,Yes, the Px-5s is being monitored in stereo. I have had this issue of the effect coming and going in and out when monitoring with headphones directly from the headphone jack, from stereo outs to my mixer with headphones, and with the mixer and a pair of stereo powered speakers. Also have tried it with a different pair of headphones. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
