B:
Troubleshooting
11.1 Symptom:
No
Sound
Things
to
check:
● Is
the
V-­‐Machine
powered
up?
● Are
the
outputs
of
the
V-­‐Machine
connected
to
your
audio
system?
● Is
your
audio
system
powered
up?
● Is
the
channel
of
your
audio
mixer
to
which
the
V-­‐Machine
is
attached
turned
down
or
muted?
● Have
you
connected
a
MIDI
cable
from
the
output
of
your
keyboard
to
the
V-­‐Machine’s
MIDI
input?
● Is
your
keyboard
transmitting
on
the
MIDI
channel
that
the
V-­‐Machine
expects
to
receive
on?
● Is
the
V-­‐Machine’s
internal
Mixer
channel
for
the
active
Preset
turned
down
or
muted?
11.2 Symptom:
Sound
Is
Distorted
Things
to
check:
● Is
the
signal
from
the
V-­‐Machine
overloading
the
input
of
your
sound
system?
Try
turning
down
the
output
volume
of
the
V-­‐Machine
Mixer
using
the
Mixer
Master
Gain
parameter
or
the
Output
Gain
parameter
in
the
Global
System
Settings
menu,
or
lower
the
input
trims
on
your
sound
system’s
channels.
● Are
you
using
so
many
simultaneous
plugins
that
the
V-­‐Machine’s
processor
can’t
keep
up?
Scroll
the
parameter
setting
all
the
way
to
the
left,
to
VFX
Buffer
Size,
and
try
increasing
the
number
of
samples
in
the
buffer.
(Increasing
the
buffer
size
will
also
increase
the
amount
of
time
the
V-­‐Machine
needs
to
respond
to
incoming
MIDI
messages.)
● Is
the
signal
from
an
instrument
plugin
overloading
the
input
of
an
effect
plugin
in
the
same
mixer
channel?
Find
the
master
output
gain
parameter
for
the
instrument
plugin
and
try
lowering
it.
