Q. An exported SMF does not play correctly on your sequencer
• An SMF file exported by V-Producer contains song setup data at 1:1:0. This means that if you have
pasted a frame at a timing location of 1:1:0, and export the song using Export SMF, the setup data
and the note-on data will be output at the identical timing. Some sequencers may be unable to play
this correctly. If you want to use Export SMF in such cases, you should paste the frames starting at
measure 2 so that there is sufficient space between the setup data and the note-on data.
• It is possible that the VariOS is not synchronized to the tempo of your sequencer. Set the VariOS's
Clock Source to MIDI, and make settings on your sequencer so that it will transmit MIDI Clock
messages to the VariOS.
• For a song in which a single sample is shared by different keyboard maps (Phrase Map/Groove
Map), the playback may differ slightly depending on the Playback Mode of the sample. In particular
when playing a phrase that is set to Groove Map, you should set the Playback Mode of the sample to
RETRIGGER.
Q. The VariOS plays at double-tempo when played by a MIDI sequencer
If you use a MIDI sequencer to play the VariOS while V-Producer is running, duplicate MIDI Clock
(F8) messages may be sent to the MIDI port to which the VariOS is connected, causing the VariOS to
play at double-tempo. If this problem occurs, you can either exit V-Producer, or access the Options -
MIDI/Audio Settings (
Clock check box. (However, if this box is un-checked, tempo data will not be sent to the VariOS when
it is played by V-Producer alone. If you are using only V-Producer without another sequencer, this
check box should be checked.)
Q. When you audition a phrase, effects are sometimes applied to the sound
This happens because the part used by the audition function is assigned automatically each time. You
can assign a specific part as the MIDI-thru destination by pressing its [REC] (record-part) button in the
vari-track (p. 75), so do this to specify a part to which effects are not applied.
Q.Effects do not apply
• Are the various effect settings correct?
If the send level of each effect is set to 0, the effect will not be applied. Check the settings (p. 92).
Even if the send level to each effect is higher than 0, there will be no effect if the master level of each
effect is 0. Check the settings (p. 93).
If output assign is set to MAIN or DIR, the sound of the multi-effect will not be output (p. 92).
Q. The Undo function does not work as expected
In V-Producer, an Undo function is provided for each screen. In order to use Undo, the appropriate
screen must be active. Be aware that when you close a screen other than the vari-track, the Undo data
will also be cleared.
Q. When you operate the knobs of the VariOS to edit PITCH/TIME/FORMANT, some
parameters do not reflect your edits
Check the Knob Assign settings of the VariOS. Choose the View - VariOS Performance Editor
command, click the Knob Assign tab, and click the [Reset] button located in the upper right of the
screen.
"MIDI Settings" on the Macintosh) dialog box and un-check the MIDI
