MIDI TROUBLESHOOTING
24
1. Some synthesizers such as the Yamaha Motif make it possible to play the same note more than once on a single channel. This is incorrrect behaviour when
used in conjunction with the Kitara. To solve this problem, you must enter the voice configuration menu and set
Key Assign Mode
to
single
.
2. If you are using stop_sound controls and you find the sound is fading out unless you continuously tap the touch panel, it is because the sustain level (ADSR) of
your synthesizer is set very low, or to zero. You should increase this value to a level that suits the particular sound.
3. If your synthesizer is only outputting maximum one note in total, even though you press buttons across multiple strings, it means you have set the synthesizer
to an incorrect mode. Most likely “omni mode”. Omni mode means your synthesizer will receive input from all MIDI channels and treat them as a single channel.
As described above, the Misa Kitara requires 6 individual channels – one per string – to function properly.
You need to switch off omni mode, and enable your synthesizer to listen on six MIDI channels. Sometimes (for example, in the case of the Yamaha Motif) this
requires setting individual synthesizer voices to each of the channels.
