My synthesizer doesn’t receive MIDI from Neova!

Make sure you use the Enhancia’s MIDI to Jack adaptor. Some cables do not follow the standard MIDI norm and may not work.

Make sure the MIDI channel for your current gesture bank is the one expected by the synthesizer. MIDI Channel 1 is the one most instruments expect but it may vary in specific cases.

Make sure the instrument can receive the messages you are sending. For the Vibrato and Pitch Bend, make sure your instrument uses pitch messages. For the tilt and roll, the CC number should be excepted by the instrument.

My DAW does not receive messages from Neova!

Make sure Neova is activated in your DAW’s MIDI preferences.

My Neova Ring is not connected, even when close to the Neova Hub

Make sure your Neova Ring’s battery is not empty, by charging it with the HUB for a couple minutes.
