Jamstik LED Light Indicator Meanings

Jamstik Core LED Indicator Light

The Jamstik Core has one general status LED. It does not have a separate charging-status LED, an internal battery, or a power button. The Jamstik Core is USB bus-powered and turns on automatically when it is connected to USB power.

General Status LED

The general status LED can display the following:

• Solid green LED
  • Connected over USB MIDI
• Solid green (1/2s), followed by LED off (1/2s), repeating
  • Advertising: The Jamstik Core is powered on but not connected over USB MIDI. This is the normal state when using TRS-MIDI only.
• Solid green (1s), followed by solid orange (1s), repeating
  • Diagnostics failure: Tune the Jamstik Core to E Standard and strum all six open strings to pass the diagnostic check.
• Solid orange (1/4s), followed by solid green (1/4s), repeating
  • Factory Diagnostics Mode: Tune the Jamstik Core to E Standard, then strum all six open strings to leave factory diagnostics mode.

Note: During startup, the Jamstik Core performs an internal diagnostics check that may include a string-tuning test. If either diagnostics-failure pattern continues for more than a couple of seconds after connecting USB power, tune each string to E Standard, then strum all six open strings. When the check passes, the LED will return to its connected or advertising pattern.

If a diagnostics-failure pattern persists after tuning and strumming all six strings, please submit a support request through our Help Center or email support@zivix.net.

*Note: During the initial boot-up sequence the Jamstik MIDI Guitar performs an Internal Diagnostics Check which may include a String Tuning test. If the Orange LED status continues for more than a couple of seconds after turning on, make sure to tune each string. Once tuned, strum all six strings in order for it to pass the initial diagnostics check, and then the LED will turn Green. The String Tuning test is only performed during the initial boot-up sequence from the factory or after removing/replacing the battery. In the event that you have tuned each string and strummed all six strings and the Orange LED persists, please submit a support request via our Help Center or by sending us an e-mail at support@zivix.net
