it should. Below are some common problems and solutions.

Problem Solution
• In the Setup Editor for the riff's zone, make sure the
SrcTrack parameter on the RIFF1 page is set to a track that
contains recorded MIDI data (from the song selected for the
Song field.)
• In the Setup Editor for the riff's zone, if the BPM parameter
on the RIFF2 page is set to External, make sure an external
MIDI clock is being received by the PC3LE.
• In the Setup Editor for the riff's zone, make sure its Trigger
range (on the RIFF2 page) is within LoKey and HiKey range
on the KEY-VEL page.
• In the Setup Editor for the riff's zone, make sure the Status
parameter on the CH/PROG page isn't set to Muted.
• In the Setup Editor for the riff's zone, make sure the
Notemap parameter is set to Linear (some factory setups
that trigger riffs from the pads have Notemap set to Off.)
• In the Setup Editor for the riff's zone, check the RelSynZn
and RelSynTyp parameters, see RelSynTyp (Release Sync
Type) on page 7-57 for details. It is possible to make settings
which don't allow the riff to stop in all situations. In this case
you can still use the front panel Stop button (to the left of the
display) to stop all riffs.
• In the Setup Editor for the riff's zone, if the SyncZone or
RelSynZn parameters are set to First Avail or FirstRiff.Av.,
some SyncType and RelSynTyp settings may not work as
expected when triggering or releasing riffs. In these cases set
the SyncZone or RelSynZn parameters to a specific riff,
arpeggiator or sequence to sync to.
• In the Setup Editor for the riff's zone, set the Local
parameter to On on the RIFF2 page. Local is set to Off by
default, see Local on page 7-55 for details.
