Vanishing presets !

Post by Captain Beardy » Tue Oct 31, 2006 10:45 am

Has anyone experienced certain patches disappearing from
the preset banks ?

I switched on my Voyager ( version 3.1 ) after a couple of months non-use recently and discovered a bunch of them are silent when selected,...
' Rose lead ' was one I was hoping to record too !!! :(

Any ideas folks ?

Cheers,....... Dan.

"Rose Lead" is from the RME factory bank, preset #47. While you could easily reload the bank and restore the missing patch (unless you've done some customizing of the sound), it might be instructive to try and figure out what happened.

First, what does "a bunch of them are silent" mean? Are you saying that you can select a preset like "Rose Lead", but no sound comes out when you play, while other presets make noise? If so, is the Master Volume control memory set to zero? What about the Filter Cutoff? If either is set to zero (or very low), this would account for the silence on a single preset (or group of presets).

Second, to troubleshoot the problem, try simplifying the setup: Plug a single patch cord into the Voyager's Left output and route that to an amplifier, with no other connections plugged into the Voyager back panel. Does the Voyager act normally? If not, what happens?

maybe by accident did some potmapping and thereby set volume to 0 or so ?
