Risoluzione dei problemi

If you encounter issues with your Donner DMK 25 Pro, Essential B1, or Starry MIDI PAD, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Problema	Possibile causa/soluzione
Device not recognized by computer/mobile device.	Ensure the USB C cable is securely connected to both the device and the computer/mobile device. Prova una porta USB diversa sul tuo computer. For mobile devices, verify that you are using the correct OTG adapter (e.g., Apple Lightning to USB Adapter for iOS). Riavvia il computer/dispositivo mobile. Check device manager (Windows) or System Information (Mac) to see if the device is listed.
No sound output from synthesizer/keyboard.	Assicurati che il dispositivo sia acceso. Check volume levels on the device, your computer, and your audio software. Verify that the correct MIDI input is selected in your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) or music software. If using the Essential B1, ensure an audio output is connected to speakers or headphones.
Pads/Keys are unresponsive or inconsistent.	Check the velocity sensitivity settings on the DMK 25 Pro or Starry MIDI PAD. Adjust to a suitable curve (e.g., "Normal" or "Light" if you have a soft touch). Assicurarsi che non vi siano detriti incastrati sotto i tasti o i cuscinetti. Restart the device and your connected software.
MIDI connection issues with external gear.	Verify that the MIDI in/out cables are correctly connected (MIDI Out to MIDI In, and MIDI In to MIDI Out). Check MIDI channel settings on both the Donner device and the external equipment. Ensure the external equipment is powered on and functioning correctly.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact Donner customer support for further assistance.
