MIDI Problems
If you connected your SP2 to a computer running sequencer application, and are
experiencing problems, check these:
1.
MIDI cables not securely plugged in at both ends.
2.
Wrong MIDI connections. To send MIDI, plug into the SP2's MIDI Out connector and
the external device's MIDI In connector.
3.
Defective MIDI cable.
4.
Check if the Global parameter "Local" is on. Setting this parameter to ON makes the
SP2 send MIDI information only to itself. The Local parameter must be set to OFF
when you work with an external sequencer. For standalone use, set Local to ON;
otherwise you won't hear any sounds from your SP2.
If you are trying to control the SP2 from an external MIDI device such as a drum
machine, and the SP2 does not respond to incoming MIDI information properly,
check following items:
1.
Set external device to transmit MIDI information on Channel 1.
2.
MIDI cables not securely plugged in at both ends.
3.
Wrong MIDI connections. To receive MIDI, plug into the SP2's MIDI In connector and
the external device's MIDI Out connector.
Prerecorded General MIDI ( or GS, or XG ) sequences may not play correctly
through the SP2 when played from a sequencer application because the SP2 is
"NOT" a GM ( General MIDI ) compatible sound module. The differences between
the SP2 and a typical General MIDI module are like following:
1.
Most of the sound program numbers are different.
2.
Effects setting messages are different.
3.
The SP2's drum channel is not fixed to MIDI Channel 10.
