    Why does my Roland Synthesizer BK-9 power turn off on its own?
    • A
      Anthony OlsonAug 21, 2025
      The power will turn off automatically if 240 minutes have elapsed since you last used the unit. This is the default setting. To disable this, turn the “Auto Off” setting to “Off”.

      Ensure the [MIC VOLUME] knob is turned up. If you're using a Condenser Microphone, set the Phantom switch on the rear of the BK-9 according to your microphone type.

      Check that the wireless LAN access point is connected to the Internet. Also, if you're connected in Ad-Hoc mode, your device won't be able to communicate with the Internet or other wireless devices.

    What to do if my Roland Synthesizer BK-9 pedal switch does not work?
    • N
      Nicole BentleyAug 29, 2025
      Check if the pedal switch is correctly connected to the PEDAL HOLD or CONTROL jack. Ensure the cable is firmly plugged in. If you disconnected the pedal cord while the power was on, the pedal effect might remain “stuck”. Power off the BK-9 before connecting or disconnecting the pedal cord.

    Why does my Roland Synthesizer BK-9 communication is unstable?
    • M
      Madison MartinezAug 28, 2025
      Unstable communication can occur based on radio frequency spectrum usage. This may result in sluggish response or audio dropouts. To improve this, move the wireless LAN access point and the BK-9 closer together or change the channel setting of the wireless LAN access point.

    What to do if I can't connect my Roland Synthesizer BK-9 to a wireless LAN access point?

      First, ensure your wireless LAN access point supports WPS. If not, use the connection procedure described in "Connecting to a Wireless LAN Access Point That You Select". Also, verify you've entered the correct password on your device, and that you're using the 802.11g/n (2.4 GHz) wireless standard, as 802.11a/b is not supported. Use WPA or WPA2 authentication, as WEP is not supported. DHCP must be enabled on your wireless LAN access point. If you're not connecting to a previously-connected access point, ensure the setting described in "Connecting in Ad-Hoc mode" is OFF. Remember that there's a limit to stored connection data, and a factory reset will delete all connection data, requiring you to reconnect.

    What to do if my Roland Synthesizer BK-9 power does not turn on?
    • J
      Julia BerryAug 26, 2025
      First, ensure the included AC adapter/power cord is correctly connected to both an AC outlet and the BK-9. Using other adapters or cords can cause malfunctions. Also, if you've just turned the power off, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on.

    What to do if there is no sound from my Roland Synthesizer BK-9?
    • S
      Samuel MooreAug 23, 2025
      If you're not getting any sound from your BK-9, try the following: 1. Ensure the BK-9 is switched on. 2. Check that the [VOLUME] knob is turned up. 3. If an Expression Pedal is connected, ensure it's not all the way up. 4. If using headphones, test if sound is audible through them to rule out cable or speaker issues. 5. Verify that the part volume settings are not minimized. 6. Ensure no external MIDI device is sending volume-lowering messages.
