FAQ

Question: Can't hear sound from the app?
Answer: Right now the app only uses the Primary Sound Driver, you can't select your driver/output in the app itself (this will change soon). So if you can't hear anything that may be way. To solve the issue, you can make sure you are listening on your Primary Sound Driver, or you can change the Primary Sound Driver.

• Windows: Control Panel-Sounds and Audio Devices-Audio tab
• Mac: System Preferences-Sound applet.

It also could be that you are not holding your click long enough on Windows. Since ASIO is not supported yet, some drivers have a long latency. So hold your click before you release and you may hear the sound. Again, we are addressing this as well.

Question: What are some new features that will appear in the app?
Answer: Here's our current list.

• Support for dragging multiple files into MVKC and spreading them across the pads
• Pad Copy
• A "sound set" concept where you can group several sounds together and import them as one unit. For example, you could have closed/open hat sets, or Tom groups.

• Improved audio engine
• Support for the Audio Engine to more accurately reflect how the MV-8000 plays the sounds
