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. 44))
• 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. 121) 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. 62) and set the Playback
mode of the sample to “RETRIGGER” (p. 63). 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. 62) and set the
Playback mode of the sample to “TIME SYNC” (p. 63). 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.
