MIDI Problems

If you are experiencing problems sending MIDI to an external module, check if one of the
following might be the issue:
12-4
A received MIDI volume
message has specified a low
volume.
The current Setup has another
controller assigned to volume,
and it is turned down.
The input to the audio system
is set for low impedance instead
of high impedance.
The input trim to the audio
system or mixer is set too low.
The MIDI cable is not securely
plugged in at both ends.
The MIDI connections are
wrong.
The MIDI cable is defective.
The MIDI transmit channel
does not match that of the
receiving device.
Set the volume of the audio
system or mixer to the lowest level.
Disconnect all MIDI cables, set the
Destination parameter in Global
Mode to Local or MIDI+Local, and
reset the volume level on the SPS4.
Finally, slowly turn up the volume
level of the audio system or mixer.
Select a different Setup. Or change
the problematic controller setting by
editing the Setup in Edit Setup Mode.
Set the volume of the audio or
mixer to the lowest level, change the
impedance setting, and then slowly
turn up the volume of the audio
system or mixer.
Slowly turn up the trim.
Securely plug in the MIDI cable at
both ends.
To send MIDI, plug the MIDI cable
into the SPS4's MIDI Out port and
into the module's MIDI In port.
Obtain and securely connect a new
MIDI cable.
Change the channel on either the
SPS4 or on the device such that the
channels match.
