TROUBLESHOOTING
I want to exit FIRE mode (the one where I can play all 8 instruments directly):
You can only exit FIRE mode by pressing FIRE again.
The FIRE button does not respond:
Very much likely the EDIT buttons A/B/CV are lit - in this menu the FIRE button does not
work. Exit via pressing the MASTER button.
I want to load or save a KIT, but the display always shows INSTRUMENT and vice
versa:
When EDIT A/B/CV is active (lit!) you're in EDIT mode and in this mode you always load
or save instruments. KITS are saved or loaded while you're in the MASTER menu
(A/B/CV is unlit!).
I can't hear my sound:
Make sure that level (top left) isn't set to zero. Also check the morph settings in the morph
menu and in the master menu (both set to 0!). If you still can't hear anything go to the
volume menu, go to the second page and check if M (the Master Out) is selected. In case
you still hear nothing, check the Decay settings.
If you're triggering the channel in the meantime you could also just press LOAD (while
in the EDIT menu) and scroll through the instruments with the main dial and listen to them
them directly. If you hear something now, it is probably due to your parameter settings.
Either load that instrument or go back and search again for the incorrectly set parameter.
Updating the firmware or midi dump doesn't work:
Make sure you're using midi input 1 and nothing else is connected.
Check your midi cables (use ours or a TYPE B adapter) and also make sure you're
going into TAKT directly and not via a USB-hub or such. A further source of error often
is the sysex application - make sure that the correct midi output is selected.
If you use the "SYSEX LIBRARIAN" program as a Mac user, you always receive the
SYSEX data via the "Record Many" button (top right).
If it still doesn't work try a different (older) interface: many new and especially cheaper
ones have different impedance and stuff and therefore limited functionality.
