• Is OMS/FreeMIDI set correctly?
As described in "OMS settings" (p. 45), (p. 51) or "FreeMIDI settings" (p. 48), (p. 55) check the
OMS or FreeMIDI settings. Also make sure that the device for MIDI IN/OUT is correctly selected
in the MIDI settings of your MIDI sequencer software.
• Does the OUTPUT level indicator of the SD-20 move?
If the INST level meter is moving but you do not hear sound, check whether the volume of the SD-
20 or your speakers has been lowered. If the INST level meter of the SD-20 is not moving, recheck
the connections and "OMS settings" (p. 45), (p. 51) / "FreeMIDI settings" (p. 48), (p. 55).
• Check the Apple Talk settings (if the SD-20 is connected via a serial connection).
If you are using a Macintosh on which Open Transport is installed, and which does not have an
Ethernet port, input/output via OMS will not be possible (if the internal Local Talk port is being
used). If you are using this type of system, reconnect the SD-20 to the modem port, or turn Apple
Talk off and restart your Macintosh.
• Is the OMS setup enabled?
If a diamond-shaped symbol is not displayed at the left edge of the title area in the OMS setup
window, the setup is not enabled. From the OMS File menu, choose "Make Current."

• Has your computer been set to enter Sleep mode?
If your computer enters Sleep mode, exit the software you are using, and then restart your
computer. We recommend that you set your computer to not use Sleep mode.

• Has the MIDI device you are using been set correctly?
In order to record/play MIDI tracks using the SD-20, you must correctly install the SD-20 driver
("Getting connected and installing drivers (Windows)" (p. 16)). Also make sure that the input
port and output port are set as follows in your software.

• Has the MIDI device you are using been selected correctly?
Select either [SD-20 Port A] or [SD-20 Port B] as the MIDI output device. MIDI will not be output
if you select [EDIROL SD-20].
