Windows users:

Only one component at a time can render through the Windows Software Synth. If your Noatikl component is specified to render through this and you hear silence, make sure there is not something else trying to render through it.

MAC users:

If you selected an IAC driver bus as your output device, make sure you have an active rendered out for that device e.g. MIDI Pipe or once of your sequencer tracks with an attached synthesiser or sampler plug-in.

All platforms:

Don't forget to press play! Make sure you haven't muted all voices, or set their volumes or velocities all to zero !If you are using fixed-pattern voices, make sure they don't all have empty patterns!

Sonar

You may hear silence from Noatikl when using the Noatikl VSTi or Noatikl MIDI Effect with Sonar.

• The solution to this problem is to modify your MIDI track to have a continuous stream of dummy MIDI controller events! This is required for Sonar to keep “pumping” Noatikl for more MIDI event data!

If using the Noatikl VSTi and your hear silence, make sure you have added Noatikl VSTi to your project properly!

• To add the Noatikl VSTi to your project, do not start by using the synth rack; it will crash Sonar
• Insert the Noatikl VSTi by right-clicking the FX bin of an audio track; select the Noatikl VSTi plug-in.
• Load-up a Noatikl file (or create a new one) within noatikl. That will give you something to hear in a moment. Make sure you set the MIDI Channel parameter for each voice, so you can be sure which software synth you want to direct it to.
• Next, open-up the Synth Rack (Views -> Synth Rack)
• Right-click on the far-right pane of the Noatikl VSTi, and click on "Enable MIDI Output". This lets Sonar use the MIDI output data emitted from the VSTi by noatikl. If you forget this step, Noatikl will remain silent!
• Close the Synth Rack.

Cubase

If Noatikl VSTi is silent, make sure you are not running with the “Sequencer MIDI Pipeline” selected. Not all sequencers support this feature!

• The solution is to select one of the other MIDI output ports instead (and make sure you have a synthesiser listening out for that port!).
