    Why do low notes sound wrong or buzzy on my Roland HP603 Musical Instrument?
    • C
      carlsonjerrySep 6, 2025
      If you are experiencing wrong or buzzy low notes on your Roland Musical Instrument, first lower the volume. If you don't hear it through headphones, the issue might be that objects near the unit are resonating due to the high volume. To minimize this: * Locate the speakers 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other surfaces. * Keep the volume down. * Move away from the objects that are resonating.

      If the piano’s tonal character changes when you record on your Roland Musical Instrument, it could be due to recording with a tone created in Piano Designer, as some settings might not be reproduced during playback. Also, ensure you are recording as SMF, not audio.
