Troubleshooting

Sound Production Is not Stopped

Press [ALL SOUND OFF] to stop all sounds being
produced.

(

p. 31

)

Is Trigger in Wave Edit set to SHOT?

If so, sound production lasts until the end point of the
wave, so you may feel that the sound is continuing
endlessly when a long wave is played back. If Trigger is set
to ALT, the wave is alternately reproduced or muted each
time you hit the playing surface. (p. 46)

Is Loop in Wave Edit set to ON?

Set Loop to OFF. (p. 46)

The Volume Is Unchangeable

Is Dynamics set to OFF?

Set Dynamics to ON. (p. 36)

The Volume Cannot Be Properly

Controlled with Strike Strength

Are Sensitivity and VeloCurve set appropriately?

Adjust Sensitivity and VeloCurve. (p. 77, p. 81, p. 83)

An Externally Input Sound Is not

Produced, or Is Produced at a Low

Volume

Is Input Mix set to OFF?

To produce an externally input sound in any event other
than sampling, set Input Mix to ON. During sampling, an
externally input sound is produced irrespective of the Input
Mix value. (p. 76)

Is the input level low?

Turn the INPUT LEVEL knob to an appropriate level. (p. 26,
p. 54, p. 56)

Is the volume of the device connected to LINE IN
jacks low?

Adjust the volume to an appropriate level.

You may be using an audio cable with a built-in
resistor.

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor (e.g.,
Roland PCS series).

Mic Sound Is not Output/Is too

Weak

The input source may be set to LINE.

Set the MIC/LINE switch on the rear panel to “MIC”.

The mic level may have been lowered.

Use the INPUT LEVEL knob on the rear panel to adjust the
level appropriately. (p. 26, p. 54, p. 56)

Can’t Record a Wave

If you are attempting to sample to a memory card,
has the memory card been formatted by the SPD-S?

Format the memory card with the SPD-S. (p. 67)

A Sampled Sound Contains Much

Noise or Distortion

Is the input level appropriate?

If the input level is too high, the sampled sound may be
distorted. If it is too low, the sampled sound may contain
overt noise. Adjust the INPUT LEVEL knob while watching
the level meter displayed on the screen to maximize the
input level within the range in which the excess level
indication remains unlit. (p. 26, p. 54, p. 56)

Are the effect settings appropriate?

Some types of effect may increase the level louder than the
original sample, or may intentionally distort the sound.
Some effects will also cause noise to be emphasized.
Temporarily turn off effects, and check whether the wave
itself contains noise or distortion. Then adjust the effect
settings appropriately. For the relation between effect types
and control knobs, refer to “Effects List.” (p. 92)
