Troubleshooting

Q. Notes are stuck

In the Sample Edit screen (p. 56), the Trigger mode of the sample may be set to “Trigger.”

Set the

Trigger mode of the sample

to

“GATE.”

If it is set to TRIGGER, the sample will continue

sounding if you forget the key that you pressed. Sometimes if you are playing the VP-9000 from a
sequencer, the sample may continue sounding even when you stop the sequencer. If this occurs,
choose "Panic" from the Option menu in V-Producer. Alternatively, you can play the key that is
assigned as the Panic Key (p. 113). All sounds will stop.

Q. Tempo does not synchronize

Q. The VariOS does not play at the tempo of the song

Q. Playback timing is slightly skewed between samples

• The Clock Source of the VariOS may be set to INT.

Set the

Clock Source

to

“MIDI”

(p. 98).

* If you are playing the VariOS by itself, set Clock Src to INT. If you are synchronizing the VariOS to

an external device, set Clock Src to MIDI.

Is tempo sync turned off for the applicable part?

Turn on tempo sync for the applicable part (p. 107).

Was the original tempo set correctly?

Check the setting (p. 51, p. 60).

Have you used a TIME knob to modify the time?

Return the TIME knob to the center position.

Q. LFO or effect parameters do not synchronize to tempo

Has tempo sync been turned off for the corresponding part?

Turn tempo sync on for the part to which the sample is assigned, or for the part to which the effect is
being applied (p. 107).

Q. The VariOS plays at double-tempo when played by V-Producer’s preview or song

playback

The VariOS synchronizes to the

master tempo

of V-Producer by receiving

MIDI Clock messages

from V-Producer. On some MIDI interfaces, such as Mark Of The Unicorn Corporation’s MIDI
Express or Emagic Corporation’s amt8, MIDI Clock messages that are input to one port are output
from all ports. This means that if in the

Sync Mode

dialog box (Option - MIDI Sync) you select one of

these interfaces as the MIDI Clock output destination, duplicate MIDI Clock (F8) messages will be sent
to the VariOS, causing the playback tempo to double. If this problem occurs, access the

Options -

MIDI/Audio settings

(

“MIDI Settings”

on the Macintosh) dialog box, and un-check the

MIDI

Clock

check box. This will allow the VariOS to play at the correct master tempo.
