SD card slot
Insert the SD card into this slot (p. 26).
15
USB connector
Use the included USB cable to connect
this to your computer. This allows projects
recorded on the R-26 to be transferred to
your computer, or WAV and MP3 files from
your computer to be copied to the R-26 for
playback (p. 81).
You can also use the R-26 as a USB audio
interface (p. 86).
16
[POWER/HOLD] switch
Slide this switch toward POWER to turn the
power on/off (p. 24). With the power turned
on, you can set this switch to “HOLD” to
enable the HOLD function.
When HOLD is turned on, all buttons on the
panel will be disabled, and it will no longer
be possible to perform operations using the
touch panel. Only the [INPUT 1] and [INPUT
2] knobs will remain functional.
This way, you can prevent any unintended
operation of the unit.
Even when HOLD is turned on, the [INPUT 1]
and [INPUT 2] knobs will remain functional,
so if you operate these knobs during
recording standby or during recording, the
input level will be changed. Be careful so as
not to operate these knobs by mistake.
17
DC IN jack
You can connect either the included AC
adaptor or a commercially available cable
for an external power device.

Grounding Terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a
particular setup, you may experience
a discomforting sensation, or perceive
that the surface feels gritty to the touch
when you touch this device, microphones
connected to it, or the metal portions of
other objects. This is due to an infinitesimal
electrical charge, which is absolutely
harmless. However, if you are concerned
about this, connect the ground terminal
(see figure) with an external ground. When
the unit is grounded, a slight hum may
occur, depending on the particulars of
your installation. If you are unsure of the
connection method, contact the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized
Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page.
* Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or
electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning
rod (may be dangerous in the event of
lightning)
