CORRECTION OF AN ERROR
As we know there unfortunately are everyday problems with Electronics musicians equipment. Naturally were are not
faultless. But also we have found that a lot of problems are user error. To make your life a little easier and to reduce
the load on the hot line we listed the most often reported problems. Of course you can find here an answer to all these
problems.
After turning on there is nothing in the display:
1.) Is the power supply in the wall socket?
2.) Is the plug correctly inserted into the Sirius?
3.) Is the power supply getting warm? (This shows that the supply is working properly.)
4.) If the problem stays the same call QUASIMIDI.
There is no sound:
1.) Is the master volume control turned up?
2.) Is the "local" function of the Sirius (System menu on page 4) turned on?
3.) Are the audio outputs connected properly with the amplifier?
4.) Do you have mixed up the audio outputs with the "Analyze" or "Carrier" outputs?
5.) Is the amplifier adjusted correctly? The HiFi amplifiers have many different controls.
6.) Test your headphones on the stereo to see if it works.
7.) Is the volume of the parts that you want to be played turned up?
The sound is different to my adjustments:
1.) Did you save the edited sound with the write function?
There are no effects:
1.) Are the FX- sends of the effects you want to use turned up? Check the mixer control.
2.) Do you have effects applied to the effect processors?
No MIDI data and Dumps can be transferred to an external instrument or Sequencer:
1.) Are the cables connected properly?
2.) Did you select the corresponding section on PARTS/SEQ to MIDI to control an externalSynthesizer?
3.) To transfer a Dump be sure that no "System-Exclusive" filter is chosen.
After transferring a dump the display shows "Memory overflow":
1.) The memory of the Sirius is full. Initialize the instrument and start the dump again.
The Vocoder has no effect on the sound or my voice?
1.) Is the Vocoder on?
2.) Did you choose an Analyze and Carrier signal?
3.) Are notes or sounds on the tracks you have chosen as Analyze or Carrier signals?
4.) Is the microphone to change your voice plugged in and turned on?
5.) Is the Gain adjusted to your voice level?
The synchronizing of external equipment or sequencers does not work:
1.) Have you made sure that the "TX-CLOCK" Parameter in the System menu of the Sirius on menupage 11 is turned
on?
2.) Is the MIDI connection cable connected correctly to the external equipment?
3.) Did you select external synchronization on the external sequencer or equipment? Read theirinstructions.
The synchronizing of the Sirius with an external clock signal does not work:
1.) Did you activate the "Sync. Extern" function of the Sirius?
2.) Is the MIDI cable connected correctly?
3.) Is the right MIDI output of the device selected for the clock signal and is the "Transmit clock"function active?
