Troubleshooting

Q. No sound when you play back the demo song

• Make sure that the VariOS is powered on.

Make sure that the VariOS is connected correctly. (

“Connections with external devices” (p. 19)

)

Make sure that MIDI device settings are correct. (

“MIDI and audio settings” (p. 38)

)

• Exit all other MIDI software, and re-start V-Producer.

Q. The VariOS's output contains noise

Is something plugged into an audio input on the rear panel of the VariOS?

If the audio output of your computer or some other source is plugged into an audio input connector
on the rear panel of the VariOS, you may hear noise in the VariOS's output. You can eliminate this
noise by setting the VariOS menu item

“7-2 Audio Input Jack”

(p. 113) to "Disable" so that the audio

input is disabled.

Q. The volume level of the instrument connected to AUDIO IN is too low

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor(e.g., Roland PCS series).

Q. Sound is interrupted

Has the maximum polyphony of the VariOS been exceeded?

The VariOS can produce a maximum of 14 voices of polyphony (in stereo, 7 voices).

Q. In the Groove Scope, sound is interrupted, or pops and crackles occur

When editing events in the Groove Scope, go to the Sample Edit screen (p. 56) and set the

Playback

mode of the sample

to “RETRIGGER” (p. 57). If you edit an event with the

Playback mode

set to

anything other than

“RETRIGGER,”

the event will not play correctly.

Q. Can’t play legato in the Phrase Scope

Q. Phrase plays from the beginning when a note is edited in the Phrase Scope

If you want to play legato in the Phrase Scope, go to the Sample Edit screen (p. 56) and set the

Playback mode of the sample

to “TIME SYNC” (p. 57). If you edit a note with the

Playback mode

set to

“RETRIGGER,”

the beginning of the sample will play each time the pitch changes, and you

will be unable to play legato.

Q. Triggering occurs when you specify a chord in the Phrase Scope

Has the maximum polyphony of the VariOS been exceeded?

The VariOS can produce a maximum of 14 voices of polyphony (in stereo, 7 voices).

Q. When you edit a curve in the Phrase Scope, the start and end points of the selected

region are not the same as the location where the curve changes

The control data that is edited exists at

20-tick

intervals. In other words, if you edit a region that is

smaller than 20 ticks, the selected region will not match the location of the data that actually changes,
and will be absorbed into 20-tick steps.
