Troubleshooting

Not working? Here are some things to try: 

  • Make sure the MIDI Channel is set to Ch.1.
  • Is the MIDI Out path set up properly?
  • Is your DAW receiving MIDI from the Sub Phatty?’

As a last resort you can initialize global parameters by following these steps:

  • Engage Shift mode by holding down the BANK 4 button and then pressing the ACTIVATE PANEL button. When you do, all the BANK and PATCH buttons will go dark and the ACTIVATE PANEL button will blink.
  • Press BANK 3, BANK 4, and PATCH 2 so they are all illuminated.
  • Press C# twice to reset the global parameters.
