Depanare

If you encounter issues with your Kavolet MIDI Controller Pad, consider the following common solutions:

• Controler nerecunoscut:
  • Asigurați-vă că cablul USB este conectat în siguranță atât la controler, cât și la computer.
  • Încercați un alt port USB pe computer.
  • If using a USB hub, ensure it is a powered USB3.0 hub.
  • Restart your computer and DAW software.
  • Check your DAW's MIDI settings to ensure the controller is enabled and selected.
• Pads/Knobs Not Responding:
  • Verify that the controller is recognized by your DAW (see above).
  • Check the MIDI mapping within your DAW to ensure the pads and knobs are correctly assigned to the desired functions.
  • Ensure no other software is interfering with the MIDI connection.
• Fără ieșire de sunet:
  • The MIDI controller sends MIDI data, not audio. Ensure you have a virtual instrument or sound source loaded in your DAW and that its audio output is correctly routed.
  • Check your DAW's audio settings and your computer's sound output.
• Inconsistent Pad Velocity:
  • Ensure the 'Full Level' button is not engaged if you desire velocity sensitivity.
  • Clean the pad surfaces if they feel sticky or unresponsive.

If problems persist, consult the manufacturer's website for updated drivers or support resources.
