virus noob - why cant I get sound when I hit the keys!

[dl4plm]

ok so im not a complete noob!

I just bought a polar but I cannot get any sounds from the keys.

If I play the demo track then I get sound from the outputs and the hphones.

Selecting a patch and using audition also plays the patch ok and ive audio

but ....

if I then just hit the keys ... nothing zilch!

its not connected to usb.....

just sitting on my floor ... quietly!

HELP!



thanks!

i think my polar is broken.....

plugging a midi conjtroller in plays fine

ohh dear!

What is it with people having problems with TI/Polar models? I don't get it.

Go into the system edit menu and try turning "LOCAL" to "ON".

[dl4plm]

sorry its just out the box......

I dont see a setting for local on in the config?

[dl4plm]

i dont see any menus for the keboard - I guess that its not recognising that the keyboard is conected and hence thinks its a desktop

I updated to the latest OS but those menus are def not in my config menu !

Are you using the Virus Control VST/AU integration? If so, you must select the TI keys as a MIDI source in your DAW. If you're using it stand-alone, as stated above: try turning the "Local" parameter "On".

[dl4plm]

nope its standalone - just my headphones on it and powered up

not yet connected to my pc via usb

only for firmware update

[dl4plm]

hmm those menu items do not appear - they are missing which makes me think its not finding the keys

OK, I just powered mine up for a minute before I leave for some pizza and beer.....

Looks like you need to press the "CONFIG" button, then navigate to the page that says "EDIT CONFIG Keyboard 1/5" (using the "<PARAMETERS>" buttons). There's your "Local" function. Make sure it's switched to "On" by using the far left soft knob under the LCD.

Hope this helps.

yep .. thats where I expected to find it but the menu item around anything to do with keyboards are missing

I assume (the board is new out of the box) that there is a cabling fault (maythe keyboard has become unplugged internally) and thats why it does not recognise it?

does anyone know what screws to undo to get to the insides!

to get this back to the store will take this out of action all week ....
