Home : Groove Control™ : Troubleshooting
 
 
Problem: I'm not hearing any audio when the Groove Control™ sequence plays.
Solution: Check the sequence's MIDI port and Channel assignments to make sure it corresponds with the sampler.

Problem: I'm getting a chromatic scale playing on all of my MIDI system when I try to play a Groove Control™ sequence.
Solution: The default MIDI Port assignment of GC sequences is set to send on ALL Modem ports. Reassign the MIDI routing to play just the desired sampler.

Problem: I'm able to play and manipulate the Grooves from the included GC sequences, but how do I use them in a pre-existing song or another sequence?
Solution: Copy and Paste, or Import the sequences into the song you are working on. Some sequencers -like Logic, allow you to just drag the tracks from one song to another, window to window. Check your sequencer's owner's manual regarding how to copy tracks between songs.

Problem: When I play the sequence, it sounds like 400 drummers playing at the same time!
Solution: All the related loops (Fills, Fill Bars, variations) are contained in one multitrack GC sequence file. The native sequences for Logic, Cubase, etc have Solo and mutes activated so that you only hear one track (loop) at a time. MIDI files can't save Mutes or Solo settings, so just manually mute tracks to make sure that you're monitoring the MIDI tracks individually.

Problem: A few beats of the loop are missing. Some programs don't play.
Solution: The Akai S-1000-3200 series of samplers cannot load lots of GC programs at the same time, due to the limitations placed on the maximum number of samples you can have loaded in RAM. Check the maximum number of samples or items for your sampler. This may also arise with other older generation samplers. The more recent units (S-5000/6000, EOS, K-2500, Unity, etc.) won't have these problems unless dozens of GC are loaded.
