Troubleshooting
Having trouble pushing the connectors on?
The pins are designed to be slightly out of line – this helps the connectors stay on nice and
tight! The connector will still slide over the pins.
I can’t seem to fit the knob shafts in?
Look inside the potentiometer - it actually has a shape to it, and you should be able to see
how the shaft fits in. Make sure that the orientation of the knob shaft lines up with the
rectangular slot.
My synth doesn’t turn on?
When you provide power to the CRAFTsynth, you should see LEDs light up. If this isn’t the
case, please check the following:
•
Check that all the connectors are attached properly (See Assembly section).
•
Check that there is no damage to the synth, such as bent header pins.
If powering by USB:
•
Unplug and plug the USB cable back in.
•
Try using a different USB cable.
•
Check that you are using a USB port on the computer or powered USB hub, rather than a
keyboard or a non-powered hub, which may not be able to provide enough current.
If powering with a battery pack:
•
Check that the battery pack’s power switch is turned on.
•
Check that the battery pack is properly connected to the battery connector on the synth
and that the leads are not damaged.
•
Check that the batteries are fully charged and in the correct orientation.
