Troubleshooting

 

Fantom VS:
GM or other MIDI data 
will not play correctly

Specify the System Exclusive 
output destination

 

1.

 

Make a note of the number (port number) that's shown before the MIDI OUT port of 
the track.

 

2.

 

Open “Views | Sysx.”

 

3.

 

Select the System Exclusive message that will be output.

 

4.

 

In the “Sysx Bank Output” dialog box, specify the port number you noted in step 

 

1

 

.

There are Interruptions, 
Dropouts, or Other 
Problems in the Sound 
During Playback

Could you have connected/
disconnected another USB device, 
such as a memory key?

Dropouts may occur during playback or recording if you connect/disconnect another 
USB device (such as a memory key), or switch a device's power on/off at the same time 
that the VS-700 is being used.

Are you using a hard disk that is 
connected via USB?

Data transfer using USB could get congested if you use the VS-700 and a USB-
connected hard disk at the same time. As a result, the data transfer speed for the hard 
disk could be significantly reduced. As a storage location for the audio data that you 
record and play back, you should avoid using a hard disk that is connected via USB.

Did the dropout occur immediately 
after the system started up, or after 
it woke from sleep?

Dropouts during playback/recording sometimes occur immediately after the system 
has started up, or after it has woken from sleep. Wait for a while, then try the playback/
recording again.

Windows Update/ Microsoft 
Update

Use Microsoft Corporation’s Windows Update or Microsoft Update to update your 
system to the most recent state.

Windows XP: 
System “Performance Options” 
settings

Follow the procedure described in 

 

“Giving Priority to Background Service 

(Windows XP)”

 

 (p. 59).

“Audio Buffer Size” in the setting 
dialog box

 

1.

 

Open the Settings dialog box as described in 

 

“VS-700 Driver settings”

 

 (p. 56).

 

2.

 

Increase the 

 

“Audio Buffer Size.”

 

Clicks or pops may occur in the 
sound if a LAN is operating

Try disabling the LAN in Device Manager. If this eliminates the clicks or pops, you may 
be able to solve the problem by updating your LAN driver or BIOS.

Windows XP: 
“Hardware Acceleration” in the 
Display Details

You may be able to eliminate noise during audio playback by adjusting the graphics 
acceleration setting.

 

1.

 

Open the 

 

“Control Panel,”

 

 and double-click 

 

“Display.”

 

* If you don’t see the above icon, click 

 

“Appearance and Thems,”

 

 and then click 

 

“Display.”

2.

 

Click the 

 

“Settings”

 

 tab.

 

3.

 

Click 

 

[Advanced]

 

 - 

 

“Troubleshoot”

 

 tab.

 

4.

 

Adjust the 

 

“Hardware acceleration”

 

 slider, and click 

 

[OK]

 

.

 

5.

 

In 

 

“Display Properties,”

 

 click 

 

[OK]

 

 to close the dialog box. Then restart your 

computer.

You may be able to solve the 
problem by selecting the 

 

“Light 

Load”

 

 check box in the Settings 

dialog box.

To view or change this setting, follow the procedure described in 

 

“VS-700 Driver 

settings”

 

 (p. 56)

*After you’ve changed this setting, you must disconnect the USB cable from the VS-700 
and then reconnect it so that the change will take effect. If you are not experiencing 
problems, leave this check box cleared (the default setting).

Try adjusting the audio buffer size 
in SONAR.

First, try adjusting the audio buffer size in SONAR.(

 

“Change the I/O Buffer Size”

 

 (p. 

54)) If you still experience clicks or pops during playback or recording, try adjusting the 

 

“Audio Buffer Size”

 

 in the driver settings panel.(p. 56)

Could you have connected the VS-
700 to a USB hub?

Try connecting the VS-700 directly to a USB connector on your computer.
