If notes on your Roland Synthesizer don't stop when you release the keys, the pedal polarity might be reversed. Check the “Control Pedal Polarity” or “Hold Pedal Polarity” setting in the “PEDAL” system settings.
Why is there no sound coming from my Roland JUNO-DS?
If you're not getting any sound from your Roland Synthesizer, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the 'Master Level' setting in the “SOUND” system settings isn't too low. * Make sure the Local Switch setting is turned on. * Turn the keyboard switch on. * Turn mute off. * Check the Effect settings are ON. * Turn the Tone Switch “ON.”
What to do if my Roland JUNO-DS Synthesizer doesn't turn on?
If your Roland Synthesizer isn't powering on, ensure the AC adapter is properly connected to an AC outlet. When batteries are installed alongside the AC adapter, the adapter will be used preferentially. The power will not turn on using battery if the AC adapter is not connected to a power source.
What to do if microphone sound is not output from Roland JUNO-DS?
If you're not getting any microphone sound from your Roland Synthesizer, first check the “Mic In Level” setting in the “MIC IN SETTINGS” system settings. Also, be aware that the JUNO-DS does not support condenser microphones.
Why a specific part does not sound on my Roland Synthesizer?
