mixer channel.

Excessive noise or distortion
❑ Is the GAIN knob set appropriately?
The sound will be distorted if the GAIN knob is set too high, and there
will be excessive noise if it is set too low.
To obtain the best sound quality, the GAIN knobs for the GUITAR,
MIC, and INPUT 1–INPUT 4 jacks should be adjusted as high as pos-
sible without allowing the GAIN knob to light red.
❑ Are you be using an effect?
Some of the effects intentionally add distortion or noise. Check
whether distortion or noise occurs even if you're not using an effect.
❑ If the sound is distorting at the EQ, make the following
adjustment.
Adjust the gain value of the EQ.

MIDI sequencer will not synchronize / MIDI control does not work
❑ Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?
❑ Could a MIDI cable be broken?
❑ Are the synchronization-related settings of your MIDI
sequencer correct?
Refer to the owner's manual for your MIDI sequencer.

❑ Is the device receiving the control change set to receive
MIDI channels 1–16?
