* | This driver has been found to function properly when used with average computer systems that meet the specifications cited above. Be aware, however, that there are numerous other variables that can affect performance, including differences in hardware design, system configuration, and overall combinations of software applications that are used. Therefore, the actual system requirements may differ from the above. |
- If you connect the G-70 to another USB port than the one you used during the driver installation, a question relating to the driver file may be displayed. This is not a problem. See You are asked for the driver file even though it has already been installed.
- On some computers, the driver is not loaded correctly if the G-70 is already connected when you start Windows. As a result, it will be impossible to use the G-70 via USB. If this occurs, switch off your computer, restart Windows, and finally switch on (or connect) the G-70.
- If the G-70 is connected when Windows is already running, the instrument may stop operating correctly when Windows enters standby or sleep mode. If this occurs, after resuming, first exit all applications that use the G-70, then switch the G-70 off and back on again.
- If the USB cable is disconnected and reconnected while the G-70 is in use, or if the G-70 is switched off and on again, it may stop operating correctly. If this occurs, exit all applications that use the G-70, then switch the G-70 off and back on again.
- If your PC needs to process a lot of data (by accessing a CD-ROM drive or a network) while the G-70 is being used, the G-70 may no longer operate correctly. If this occurs, stop sequencer playback or recording, then try starting playback or recording again. If you are still unable to play back or record, quit all programs that use the G-70, then turn the G-70 off and back on again.
- Start Windows with all USB cables disconnected.
