Troubleshooting
If you’re experiencing problems or unexpected behavior from your Take
5, here are a few typical scenarios and their solutions:
If the Take 5 isn’t producing sound: .
1. Recall the Basic Program. (Global>BasicProgram>Write)
2. If the problem is still there, check the following:
• Volume - make sure it’s set to an appropriate value
• Rear-panel output jacks - make your audio cables are connected to
left
/
right
output
.
• In the
global
menu, make sure that
local control
is set to
on
.
If the sequencer or arpeggiator has stopped running:
• Check the
midi clock mode
setting in
global
to ensure the Take 5 is set
to
out
or
off
. Or if set to
in
or
in thru
or
in no s
/
s
, make sure the Take
5 is receiving MIDI clock.
If some of the programs sound different than usual:
• In the Global menu, check
scale
/
alt tuning
and make sure it’s set to
equal temperament
. Also, check the Mod wheel position. The Mod
wheel can do more than just add vibrato. Also, check the
clock mode
setting in the
global
menu to ensure the Take 5 is set to
out
or
off
.
Or if set to
in
or
in thru
or
in no s
/
s
, make sure the Take 5 is receiving
MIDI clock.
If there is a ground hum in the audio output:
• USB can cause ground loops, so try to resolve any grounding issues
between the computer (if connected) and the Take 5. Or use MIDI, which is
opto-isolated.
