Sequential Take 5 Compact Synthesizer - Manual (Page 81)

72 Appendix C: Troubleshooting and Support Sequential
If the Take 5 is behaving erratically:
• This is almost always caused by a MIDI feedback loop. Make sure that
any MIDI Thru functionality is turned off on the MIDI interface/hard-
ware or in the MIDI software application. Disconnect all Take 5 MIDI
connections (MIDI and USB cables) and see if the problem persists.
You can also monitor the MIDI traffic with MIDI Monitor (Mac OS) or
MIDI-OX (Windows) to see if the Take 5 is being overrun with dupli-
cate messages.
If the Take 5 doesn’t seem to respond to its controls:
• Make sure
local control
is
on
in the
global
menu.
If MIDI System Exclusive data is not transmitted/received:
• Make sure that the
midi sysex cable
setting in the
global
menu is set
to
usb
or
midi
depending on which you are using to transmit or receive
MIDI messages.
If the Take 5 plays out of tune:
• Check the
master coarse
and
master fine
parameter in the
global
menu to make sure they are both set to 0.
• You may need to recalibrate the oscillators. See “Calibrating the VCOs
and Filters” on page 75.
If the pitch or Mod wheel doesn’t go to full range:
• Recalibrate the Pitch and Mod wheels. See “Calibrating the Pitch and
Mod Wheels” on page 75.
If the filter sounds strange or out of tune:
• You may need to recalibrate the filters. See “Calibrating the VCOs and
Filters” on page 75.
