Instrument in V-Rack disabled

Post by 7Think8Thought9 »

Hi there,

I'm sure there is a simple solution to this however it eludes me.

I made 5 instrument tracks with their instruments and moved them all to one V-Rack. Some of them are enabled some others were disabled. How can enable them?

Looking at the mixer window i can't seem to turn one on...

thanks fam

A screen shot and some indication that you have read the manual would be useful. I think you have missed something about what V-Racks are for. See my other reply to your other post.

Not everyone reads this forum every evening, and you waited exactly one evening for an answer. This is not an official MOTU support forum - it is a community forum.

Just engage the On button in the chunks window for each V-Rack. It's a little dot next to the chunk name.

It toggles on/off with one click.

Like Terry suggested, make sure you read the manual, so you can unleash all related DP power to your benefit.

Thanks guys, turning that ppower button in the chunks window only turned on the ones that were on before. BUT I figured it out. In the mix window underneath the instrument name there is a downward triangle. It shows your outputs and also an "Enable" button to check off!
