PROBLEM 

The BPM counter keeps
flashing 120 BPM.

I don’t hear any effects.

The trackball doesn’t
respond very well.

The trackball doesn’t
respond at all.

CAUSE 

The audio signal is not
loud enough.

The BPM of the audio 
signal is outside of the
selected BPM range.

The MIX knob is set to
minimum, which is 100%
dry signal (no effects) and
0% wet signal (with
effects).

Trackball mechanism is
dirty.

X and Y are both
bypassed. The LEDs
under each button should
be lit red.

SOLUTION

Turn up the level of the
audio signal gradually unti
the BPM count is shown.

Press and hold SHIFT
while pressing the RANGE
button to select the desired
BPM range.

Turn up the dry/wet mix
until you reach what you
consider to be a good 
combination of dry and we
signals.

Follow  the instructions on
cleaning the trackball in th
manual.

Press and hold SHIFT
while pressing HOLD X an
HOLD Y to deselect and
reactive the trackball.
