Troubleshooting
Please check the following points if you experience problems.
No sound
•
Are the main Level or any other volume-related parameters set to 0?
•
Is your computer set to produce sound?
•
If you're using Windows, open the Control Panel and check "Sound and Audio Device Properties. "
•
If you're using macOS, check System Settings/Sound and the Audio Devices section of Audio MIDI Setup (in
Applications/Utilities).
•
If you're using your computer's sound card, is the sound card set up correctly?
•
If you've connected an audio device to your computer, is the audio device set up so that sound is being output from
it?
•
If you're using the stand-alone version, have you made the appropriate settings in the Audio/MIDI Settings
window? See "Audio/MIDI Settings (standalone only)" on page 17.
The sound has clicks, pops, or noise
You may experience clicks, pops, or noise if your computer's CPU is experiencing a heavy load.
If you are having this type of problem, try the following.
•
If other applications are running, close them.
•
Reduce the maximum polyphony of the synthesizer you're using.
In the Audio/MIDI Settings window, increase the audio buffer size. Note that this will also increase the latency
•
(the delay before you hear sound).
Sound is delayed
Latency is determined by "the number of samples" x "the number of buffers. " If you are using a plug-in host, adjust the
buffer size in the host application. If you are using the stand-alone version, go to the Audio/MIDI Settings window and
set the Audio Buffer Size to the lowest setting that still allows stable operation.
Can't control the software synthesizer from a MIDI device
connected to the computer
•
Are your computer and MIDI device connected correctly?
•
Is the connected MIDI device detected by your computer?
•
If you're using Windows, open the Control Panel and check Sound and Audio Device Properties/Hardware.
•
If you're using macOS, open the MIDI section of Audio MIDI Setup (in Applications/Utilities), and make sure that
your MIDI device is detected.
If you are using the stand-alone version, go to the Audio/MIDI Settings window and confirm that the desired
•
MIDI controller is selected.
