  There are several reasons why your Roland Drums might not be producing sound: * Ensure the HandSonic is correctly connected to external devices. * Check for broken audio cables; try a different cable. * Verify you're not using a connection cable with a resistor; use one without a resistor. * Confirm the volume of the connected amp or speaker is at an appropriate level. * Check the volume level on the device connected to the MIX IN jack and adjust if needed. * Make sure that “Local Control” is set to “ON.”
