Connecting the FR-4x to Your Computer
If you use a USB cable (commercially available) to connect the
COMPUTER port located on the FR-4x’s connection panel to the
USB port of your computer, you’ll be able to do the following
things:
5 Use the FR-4x as a sound module.
5 Use the FR-4x editor.
5 By transferring MIDI data between the FR-4x and your sequencer
software, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide range of possibilities for
music production and editing.
NOTE
The FR-4x not supported the GM/GS standard

computer as shown below.

Switching the USB driver between dedicated (Original) or
standard (Generic)
Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order to connect the
FR-4x to your computer. However, if some problem occurs, or if the
performance is poor, using the Roland original driver may solve the
problem.
For details on downloading and installing the Roland original
driver, refer to the Roland website:

If you change this setting, you’ll need to power the FR-4x off and
then on again. Normally you should use “ORG (Original).”
NOTE
5 To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn
down the volume, and turn off all the units before making
any connections.
5 Only MIDI data can be transmitted and received via USB.
Audio data for a song recorded on the FR-4x cannot be
transmitted or received.
5 Switch on the power to the FR-4x before you start up the MIDI
application on your computer. Never turn the FR-4x’s power
on/off while your MIDI application is running.
5 If you connect the MIDI OUT/IN connector and the USB
COMPUTER port to the same computer, indeterminate data
might be input or output. If operation is unstable, connect
only one or the other connector to your computer.
