Slide switches 1 thru 6 = individual string outputs conditioned
for MIDI converter or hex DSP (OFF), or unconditioned for
simple fanout (ON).
If the instrument is played through a MIDI converter or hex DSP
device, these switches must be in the 'OFF' positions, or the
connected device will not perform correctly. No damage will result
in the wrong position, but the connected device will not perform
properly.
If the individual string outputs are 'fanned' (e.g. to distribute them to
different destinations), these switches must be in the 'ON' position
to hear the normal LightWave pickup sound. No damage will result
in the wrong position, but the string outputs through the 13-pin
connector will be severely attenuated and lack bass response.
Note that none of the deck controls for volume or tone will have any
affect on the individual string outputs through the 13-pin connector.
The deck controls only affect the single combined signal at the 1/4"
output jack and through the dedicated pin in the 13-pin connector.
Problem: When the guitar cable is plugged in, the Power LED
does not light, and no sound is heard.
Solution 1: Be sure the cable is a 'TS' (Tip / Sleeve) cable, and
not a 'TRS' (Tip / Ring / Sleeve) cable.
Solution 2: Plug in the battery charger unit and try again. Check
the back of the bass for the 'Charge Status' LED to have lit red.
Problem: The sound is very weak and thin.
Cause: Insufficient battery voltage.
Solution: Check the status of the Power LED to see if it is out,
or very dim. If so, the battery pack needs recharging. [You can
continue to play with the charger unit plugged in, and the battery
pack will still charge.]
Problem: The 'Mids Sweep' control does not seem to do anything.
Solution: Be sure that the 'Mids Boost / Cut' control is not in
its center (detent) position, which represents no boost or cut,
regardless of the position of the 'Sweep' control.
