Noise is heard during audio playback

❏Is the AUX INPUT LEVEL knob raised?

→If you are not using any audio devices connected to the AUX INPUT, set the AUX INPUT LEVEL knob to minimum position.

❏Is a mic or guitar still connected?

→If a mic or guitar is connected to the GS-10, disconnect the mic or guitar. Disconnect any audio devices you are not using.

❏Noise is sometimes heard in the line input or mic input.

→If a USB-compatible MIDI sound module and the GS-10 are connected via USB to the same computer, and the outputs of the MIDI sound module are connected to the line input jacks of the GS-10, noise from your computer may be heard via the MIDI sound module from the GS- 10, depending on the computer you are using. If this occurs, you can either connect the MIDI sound module and the GS-10 in parallel using a self-powered hub, or connect the MIDI sound module via its serial or MIDI interface.

❏Are two or more audio devices such as the GS-10 or a mixer connected to your computer?

→Try connecting only a single GS-10 unit, and check whether the noise disappears. If numerous audio devices are connected to a computer, noise may occur depending on your system. In such cases, connect only the GS-10 to your computer.

❏Does your sequencer software support ASIO 2.0?

→If your ASIO-compatible software does not support ASIO 2.0, it will not operate correctly if you use [GS-10 ASIO2.0 16bit] or [GS-10 ASIO2.0 24bit] as the ASIO driver.

In this case, select either [GS-10 ASIO1.0 16bit] or [GS-10 ASIO1.0 24bit] as the ASIO driver.

❏Does your sequencer software support 24-bit audio?

→If your ASIO-compatible software does not support 24- bit audio input/output, it will not operate correctly if you select [GS-10 ASIO1.0 24bit] or [GS-10 ASIO2.0 24bit] as the ASIO driver. In this case, select either [GS-10 ASIO1.0 16bit] or [GS-10 ASIO2.0 16bit] as the ASIO driver.
