No Power.
Power Supply not connected properly. If applicable, check fuse in mains plug.
No Sound.
Check the“Volume” knob is not set at zero. Check that the correct MIDI receive Channel is selected. Check that all mixer parame-
ters are not set to zero. Check that a Volume MIDI Message of zero is not being transmitted to Supernova II Rack. Check that the
Filter Frequency knob or Sustain & Decay knobs of Env1 are not set to zero. Check that Local On/Off in Global Mode is not set to
Off. Check Arp Mute is not active. ( lit ) Check Part Polyphony is not set to Off. Check Pass to Effects parameter in Dist/EQ/Config
menu is not set to Input 1 or 2 but program. Check that the Arpeggio notes to: parameter in Arp Menu is not set to MIDI only.
Check Part levels in a Performance are not set to 0.
LFOs, Delays and/or Arpeggiator do not sync to MIDI Clock.
Check the Clock parameter in the Global Mode is set to Ext. ( refer page 44 ) If this is set to external, check the Supernova II Rack
is synced by varying the tempo of the Sequencer. If the Supernova II Rack speeds up & slows down accordingly, Supernova II
Rack is synced to MIDI Clock. However it is possible to synchronise the LFOs, Delay & Arpeggiator to many different time signa-
tures. This can lead to a situation where the Supernova II Rack may be synced but synchronised at a strange time signature.
Check the synchronisation parameters refer on page 89 for the LFOs, page 99 for the Delay & page 56 for the Arpeggiator for
details.
LFOs, Delay and/or Arpeggiator is stuck/stopped/does not work.
This is almost certainly because the LFOs, Delay and/or Arpeggiator are set to sync to MIDI Clock. To check this see if the Clock
parameter in the Global Mode is set to Ext. ( refer page 44 ) If it is set to External then setting this parameter to internal will restore
the operation of the LFOs, Delay & or Arpeggiator. If you wish these to be synced to MIDI Clock, leave this parameter in External &
confirm that the sequencer is actually sending MIDI Clock. A lot of software sequencers default to NOT transmitting MIDI Clock. If
the LFO / Delay / Arp is stuck / not functioning & you have the Clock parameter in the Global Mode is set to Ext, the sequencer is
not sending MIDI Clock. There is no other reason.
Cannot record knob movements on the sequencer.
Some sequencers / software feature a “filter” for filtering out unwanted data. Controllers is usually an option. This data must not be
filtered out by the program. Consult the sequencer / software's owners manual for details.
Cannot change “Banks” via MIDI.
Bank changes are different from program changes & are actually two messages. For this reason, some sequencers / software
have a “Bank Box” or similar in an attempt to simplify things. However sometimes on early versions of software this function may
not be available. If this is the case & your sequencer does not have a “Bank Box” or similar you will have to enter in the data man-
ually in a “List Edit” or similar function within the sequencer. You will have to enter a controller with specific values & then a pro-
gram change message, all with the right values & in the right order & on the right channels. If the message you send does not
change the bank on the Supernova II Rack then you are not sending the right messages & values. Consult your sequencer / soft-
ware owners manual for details. Bank change messages are as follows. They must be sent as shown & in the correct order. A
Program Bank “A” message is as follows: enter a controller 32 message with a value of 5 followed by a program change message
with the value of the program you want. i.e. for program 6 enter 7. A Program Bank “B”message is as follows: enter a controller 32
with a value of 6 followed by a program change message with the value of the program you want. Alternatively simply select the
desired Performance / Program from the Supernova II Racks front panel while recording into a sequencer. Make sure the MIDI out-
put of the Supernova II Rack is connected to the MIDI input of your sequencer / computer either directly or via a merge box.
There is a Table of Bank messages recognised by the Supernova II Rack on page 125.
Supernova II Rack does not respond to Program Change / Bank select
messages.
Check that the Incoming Program change parameter in the Global mode is set to Enabled and/or the Prog change filt parameter in
MIDI menu of the Part edit section is not On.
