TROUBLESHOOTING
Footswitch does not appear to work when connected to the “Input 2
( pedal ) socket.
Make sure the Input 2 ( pedal ) socket is not set to “Off” on page 9 of the Global menu.
Make sure the Input 2 ( pedal ) socket is not configured for “Pedal-T” or “Pedal-R” on page 9 of the Global menu.
Pedal / footswitch works fine in Program Mode but does not appear to
work in Performance Mode.
Make sure Part is enabled ( its Polyphony setting is not set to “Off” ). Make sure the jack socket is set to “On” for the Part ( page 3
in the Part edit Midi menu ).
Pedal / footswitch works, but behaves in the opposite manner to the
way expected.
Switch to the opposite type of pedal / footswitch configuration ( page 9 in the Global menu ).
No Power.
Power Supply not connected properly. If applicable, check fuse in mains plug.
No Sound.
Check the“Volume” knob is not set at zero. Check that the correct MIDI receive Channel is selected. Check that all mixer parame-
ters are not set to zero. Check that a Volume MIDI Message of zero is not being transmitted to Nova. Check that the Filter
Frequency knob or Sustain & Decay knobs of Env1 are not set to zero. Check that Local On/Off in Global Mode is not set to Off.
Check Arp Mute is not active. ( lit ) Check Part Polyphony is not set to Off. Check Pass to Effects parameter in Dist/EQ/Config
menu is not set to Input 1 or 2 but program. Check that the Arpeggio notes to: parameter in Arp Menu is not set to MIDI only.
Check Part levels in a Performance are not set to 0. Another possibility is that the Program being monitored is an Arpeggiated one
& the MIDI clock parameter in the Global menu is set to external and there is no MIDI clock being received.
LFOs, Delays and/or Arpeggiator do not sync to MIDI Clock.
Check the Clock parameter in the Global Mode is set to Ext. ( refer page 38 ) If this is set to external, check the Nova is synced by
varying the tempo of the Sequencer. If the Nova speeds up & slows down accordingly, the Nova is synced to MIDI Clock. However
it is possible to synchronise the LFOs, Delay & Arpeggiator to many different time signatures. This can lead to a situation where
the Nova may be synced but synchronised at a strange time signature. Check the synchronisation parameters refer to page 77 for
the LFOs, page 84 for the Delay & page 50 for the Arpeggiator for details.
LFOs, Delay and/or Arpeggiator is stuck/stopped/does not work.
This is almost certainly because the LFOs, Delay and/or Arpeggiator are set to sync to MIDI Clock. To check this see if the Clock
parameter in the Global Mode is set to Ext. ( refer page 38 ) If it is set to External then setting this parameter to internal will restore
the operation of the LFOs, Delay & or Arpeggiator. If you wish these to be synced to MIDI Clock, leave this parameter in External &
confirm that the sequencer is actually sending MIDI Clock. A lot of software sequencers default to NOT transmitting MIDI Clock. If
the LFO / Delay / Arp is stuck / not functioning & you have the Clock parameter in the Global Mode is set to Ext, the sequencer is
not sending MIDI Clock. There is no other reason.
Cannot record knob movements on the sequencer.
Some sequencers / software feature a “filter” for filtering out unwanted data. Controllers is usually an option. This data must not be
filtered out by the program. Consult the sequencer / software's owners manual for details.
Cannot change “Banks” via MIDI.
Bank changes are different from program changes & are actually two messages. For this reason, some sequencers / software
have a “Bank Box” or similar in an attempt to simplify things. However sometimes on early versions of software this function may
not be available. If this is the case & your sequencer does not have a “Bank Box” or similar you will have to enter in the data man-
ually in a “List Edit” or similar function within the sequencer. You will have to enter a controller with specific values & then a pro-
gram change message, all with the right values & in the right order & on the right channels. If the message you send does not
change the bank on the Nova then you are not sending the right messages & values. Consult your sequencer / software owners
manual for details. Bank change messages are as follows. They must be sent as shown & in the correct order. A Program Bank “A”
