GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
No sound from target device.
Q88 is not properly
connected.
Check your computer's USB connection to confirm that
the Q88 is recognized. If necessary, replug the
connection and restart your computer.
If controlling an external hardware module, make sure
that the MIDI cable is connected to Q88 and to the
device's MIDI IN port.
Q88 was connected after the
software application started.
Restart the software application.
Problem is caused by use of
a USB hub.
Unplug Q88 from the USB hub and connect directly to
the computer.
Software is not set to receive
MIDI data from the Q88.
Ensure that Q88 or USB MIDI device is listed as an
active MIDI source in your application. Usually, the
MIDI settings can be accessed through the
application's Preferences menu.
Q88's MIDI channel is not the
same as software's incoming
MIDI channel.
Make sure that the Q88 is sending MIDI information on
the channel over which the target device is set to
receive it.
Notes sustain continuously.
Sustain pedal was plugged in
after the Q88 was powered
on.
Power off Q88 for 10 seconds and then restart.
Stuck notes due to
incomplete MIDI data.
Turn Q88’s power off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn it
on again.
Sustain pedal works in
reverse.
Sustain pedal was plugged in
after power was turned on.
With the pedal plugged in, turn the Q88's power off,
wait a moment, and turn it on again.
When I press a key, there is
a delay before I hear any
sound.
This is software latency.
Try to increase the buffer size for your software
program, use low-latency ASIO drivers, or temporarily
use a General MIDI instrument in place of a high-
latency VST instrument while recording.
