Check where Gridshift sends the sound
Press ⌘P (Switch Monitor Profile) and pick the profile for the speakers or headphones you are using. A profile whose device is unplugged is grayed out and cannot be picked; plug the device in or pick another. Gain and channel pair: Monitor Profiles.
Unmute the track, or clear a solo
Select the silent track and press ⇧M to unmute it. If another track is soloed, select it and press ⇧S to clear the solo. See Track Mix.
Load an instrument on the track
An instrument track with no instrument plays nothing, and Musical Typing only plays a track with an instrument loaded. If the instrument card shows a warning, click Retry or run Retry Instrument Load; see Plugin Won’t Load.
More actions
- Raise the device’s own volume: Device Volume in the profile is a window on the macOS volume.
- On a controller, a black key is silent under the Drums, Scale and Follow layouts: Play a MIDI Controller.
- Check the Master track’s fader and the group fader above the track: Group Mix and Master Mix.
Good to know
- A pitched-up Punchy sample gets quieter, because each slice ends early. Switch the Character to Smooth: Gaps After Stretching.
