Roland VS-890 - Manual (Page 7)

Troubleshooting
Internal Effects
Effects cannot be used
• You are attempting to select the algorithm for Reverb,
Gated Reverb, Vocoder 2, Voice Transformer or
Mastering Tool Kit with FX2.
• You are already attempting to select the algorithm for
Vocoder 2, Voice Transformer or Mastering Tool Kit
with FXl (Owner's Manual p. 119).
• I'd like to change the order of an effect algorithm.
The connection orders cannot be altered. They can
only be turned on or off. For more detailed
information on what goes on with the algorithm
orders, please refer to the "Algorithm List" (p. 25).
CD-RW Drive Problems
I made an audio CD on the CD-R/RW
drive, but it doesn't play on a
consumer CD player.
• The finalized process was not carried out. When making
audio CDs, set "Finalize" to "On" or "OnlyFin."
(Owner's Manual p. 143).
• Audio CD's created using a CD-RW disc cannot be
played on a conventional CD player. Please use a CD-R
disc.
The CD-R drive is not being recognized
• The CD-RW drive is not connected correctly.
• The same device ID number is assigned to two or more
SCSI devices (Zip drives, CD-RW drives, etc.).
• No CD-R/RW disc is iaserted in the drive.
• A CD-RW drive that is not designated by Roland.
Cannot write to CD-R discs
• The song's sample rate is set to something other than
44.1 kHz (Owner's Manual p. 143).
• No IDE hard disk is installed.
• The internal IDE hard disk does not have sufficient free
disk space.
• The CD-R disc does not have sufficient free space.
• You are trying to write to a commercial CD software
disc.
• You are trying to write to a CD-R disc that has been
finalized.
MIDI Devices Problems
With the VS-890 as master, the MIDI
sequencer does not respond to
commands
• The МГО1 cable is not connected correctly.
• The MIDI cable is broken.
• The МГО1 Thru switch is not set to "Out" (Owner's
Manual p. 160).
• "Sync Gen." (the sync generator) is not set to the
appropriate synchronization method (MTC, MIDI Clock,
Sync Track) (Owner's Manual p. 160).
• The SYNC MODE fields in the display indicates "EXT."
("Sync Source" is set to "EXT").
• The two devices are not set to the same t)?pe of MTC
(during MTC synchronization).
• The MIDI clock data has not been recorded on the sync
track (if you arc using the sync track for
synchronization).
• The settings of the MIDI sequencer are not correct.
• The MIDI sequencer is not ready to playback.
• The VS-890 mixer level and pan settings changed by
themselves.
-> The VS-890 receives Control Change messages as
well as System Exclusive messages. When set to
receive Control Change messages transmitted by a
MIDI sequencer, the VS-890's mixer can be
controlled by external devices. When this feature is
not needed, set the "Control Type" to "Off."
When synchronizing using a MIDI
sequencer as the master, the VS-890
does not respond to the sequencer
messages
• The MIDI cable is not connected correctly.
• The MIDI cable is broken.
• You are trying to synchronize using the MIDI clock.
The VS-890 cannot be run in slave mode using a
method other than MTC.
• The SYNC MODE fields in the display indicates "INT."
("Sync Source" is set to "INT").
• The two devices are not set to the same typ)e of MTC
(during ^ГГC synchronization).
• The settings of the MIDI sequencer are not correct.
• The VS-890 is not in playback standby mode (with the
PLAY indicator blinking).
• MFC reception is in poor condition.
-> Setting the Sync Error Level to "5" or higher may
improve conditions.
