Why is there no sound coming from my Roland Musical Instrument?
- A
  Aaron HicksAug 17, 2025
  If the Roland Musical Instrument doesn't produce any sound, first ensure that neither the instrument's volume nor the volume of any connected devices is set to the minimum. Also, check if headphones are connected or if a plug remains in the headphone jack, as this will prevent sound output from the speakers. Verify that the Volume Balance setting isn't configured to favor the accompaniment over the keyboard. Lastly, confirm that the Local Control setting is set to “ON”; if it’s “OFF,” no sound will be produced when you play the keyboard.

What to do if the pedal does not work or remains stuck on my Roland FP-50 Musical Instrument?

  Christopher NguyenAug 26, 2025
  If the pedal is not working correctly or seems stuck on your Roland Musical Instrument, ensure it is properly connected by fully inserting the plug into the pedal jack. If that doesn't solve the issue, check if you're using a compatible pedal, such as the one included or the RPU-3. Disconnecting the pedal cord while the power is on can also cause issues, so always switch off the power before connecting or disconnecting the pedal. Finally, make sure the soft pedal or sostenuto pedal hasn't been reassigned to another function, such as a registration select switch.
