PROBLEM SOLVING
External MIDI instrument doesn’t play
Description:: When I play the instrument, the ZETA SYNTHONY II reacts
properly on the meters in the display but my external MIDI instrument does
not play.
Possible problem: Set up… cable connections
Solution:
1. Make sure the MIDI cables are connected properly. From the ZETA
SYNTHONY II’s MIDI OUT jack to the instrument’s MIDI IN
jack.
2. The MIDI channels of both instruments need to be correctly set.
3. The MIDI instrument should be in multi timbral mode.
4. Make sure the audio cable between your MIDI instrument and the
amplifier is correctly connected.
5. Check the volume control on your instrument interface.
6. The select button on your instrument interface could be set to
“INSTRUMENT”.
(This would cause no signal to the ZETA SYNTHONY II.)
String bending does not function properly.
Description: When I play a string, I hear the right note, but slides, slurs and
glissandos do not function like I expect.
Possible problem: The Pitchbend settings on your ZETA SYNTHONY II
do not match the settings in your MIDI instrument; or Pitch Quantize is
turned on.
Solution:
1. Make sure that the pitchbend range settings in your MIDI
instrument correspond to the same settings in your ZETA
SYNTHONY II (GLOBAL MODE).
2. Make sure the QUANTIZE value in the preset split (PRESET
MODE) is set to AUTO or OFF.
