TROUBLESHOOTING
The Supernova II Rack does not respond to Controller messages.
Check that the Incoming control change parameter in the Global mode is set to Enabled and/or the Controller filt parameter in MIDI
menu of the Part edit section is not On.
The knobs & buttons do not alter the sound / do anything.
Check that the Local On/Off parameter in Global mode is not set to Off.
Cannot receive Sysex dumps ( Progs-Perfs )
Check that Memory Protect is set to Off & Sysex reception is set to Normal ( RX as sent ). If you are sending C or D Bank Perfs or
E,F,G or H Bank Progs from an Expanded Supernova II Rack ( Supernova II Rack Pro ) to a standard Supernova II Rack, then
these sounds will not go into the Supernova II Rack as corresponding banks do not exist in the standard machine. You can howev-
er specify All Progs to bank A, B, C or D & All Perfs to bank A or B to get around this.
The Supernova II Rack switches itself from Perf mode to Prog mode.
This is because the MIDI out & MIDI in of the Supernova II Rack is connected to a sequencer which is remapping Bank/Program
messages (generated by changing Program/Bank on a Part) to a channel corresponding to the Global channel of the Supernova II
Rack. The solution is to Filter out Bank messages in the Sequencer, or disconnect the midi out of the Supernova II Rack, or disable
the “Thru” function on the sequencer, or to change the Global channel of the Supernova II Rack to one not being used in the
sequencer.
When editing a Part in Perf mode, other parts are being edited as well.
This is because the MIDI out & MIDI in of the Supernova II Rack is connected to a sequencer which is remapping controller mes-
sages (generated by editing parameters on a Part) to a channel corresponding to the channel of the other Part. The solution is to
switch the local control parameter in global to off. This means all edits will be carried out via the MIDI chain rather than directly &
the sequencer will dictate which part is being edited by the MIDI channel setting on the track. The alternatives are not very friendly,
they are to filter out controller messages in the Sequencer, or disconnect the midi out of the Supernova II Rack, or disable the
“Thru” function on the sequencer.
Upgrading the sounds in the Supernova II Rack.
New sound banks are available on our Web site ( http://www.novationuk.com or http://www.novationusa.com ) & are free to down-
load. This is actually very similar to upgrading the OS in your supernova.
1
-
Connect the MIDI out of the sequencer to the MIDI in of the Supernova II Rack.
2
-
Turn the Memory Protect OFF ( in page 7 of the Global mode ) & make sure your Supernova II Rack is set to
global channel 1. ( page 1 of the Global mode )
3
-
Load the Total.mid file into your sequencer.
4
-
Play the sequencer. ( The display will show the status of incoming messages )
If you experience problems with this file, it is probably due to similar problems that can occur when updating the OS. Please Refer
to page 122 “Problems that can occur when updating an OS & sounds”.
