Troubleshooting
●Q. The PITCH, TIME, and FORMANT knobs don't work when using the VariOS by itself
• Could the Knob Output Mode be set to OFF or MIDI?
When V-Producer starts up, it changes the Knob Output Mode to MIDI. When V-Producer shuts
down, it changes this setting to INT&MIDI. If the setting is still MIDI, the knobs will not work when
the VariOS is used by itself. Please change the setting to INT or INT&MIDI.
●Q. You attempted to make MIDI synchronization settings, but don’t see the “Roland
VariOS Sync” that was mentioned in the manual.
• The VariOS USB MIDI driver may not be installed.
Install the driver as described in “Installation” (p. 21).
●Q. When a song exported as SMF is loaded into Cubase, the notes at the beginning of
the song are not played.
• It has been found that when a song created in V-Producer is exported as SMF and loaded into
Cubase, the order of the Program Change and Note On messages at the first beat of the first measure
gets switched around, and as a result, a frame placed at measure one, beat one will fail to sound. If
this occurs, use V-Producer to move that frame to a point after measure one, beat one, and then
export it as an SMF once again.
●Q. Keyboard shortcuts cannot be registered correctly, or fail to operate.
• Some combinations of keys may be used by your system, and therefore cannot be registered or will
not work.
●Q. Can’t open Help or Readme menu
• You will need Adobe Corporation’s Acrobat Reader in order to read the Help (pdf file). Acrobat
Reader can be downloaded from the Adobe Corporation’s website (http://www.adobe.com).
• You will be unable to open Help or Readme if the name of your hard disk or folder contains a “/”
(slash). Please rename your hard disk or folder.
●Q. Can’t add or move events in some locations in the Wave Editor.
When adding or moving events in the Wave Editor, there must be at least 5 msec between adjacent
events. You cannot add or move events any closer than this.
●Q. Can't load wave. An error is displayed when you attempt to encode.
• An error will be displayed if the WAV file you are attempting to encode is not suitable for the
selected encoding type. In this case, try a different encoding type.
• An error will be displayed if the WAV file you are attempting to encode is too long. In this case, use
a waveform editing program to shorten the WAV file. The maximum sampling time for one sample
is 150 seconds of stereo or 300 seconds of monaural.
●Q. Encode does not finish
• It is possible that the selected encode type is not appropriate for the sample. Try changing the encode
type.
