  If you're unable to record on your Roland Musical Instrument, check if one of the track buttons for recording has been selected. Also, verify if the setting for “Punch-in Recording” or “Tempo Recording” has been made; if so, select the replace recording method. It is not possible to record while the score is being generated. Once the unit has finished generating the score (i.e., when the measure number in the screen is no longer highlighted), try the operation once again.

Why does the bass range sound odd, or why is there a vibrating resonance on my Roland Musical Instrument?
- A
  Alan MckenzieSep 12, 2025
  When listening through speakers: Playing at loud volumes may cause instruments near the KR-7/5 to resonate. Resonance can also occur with fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and other objects. In particular, this problem occurs more easily when the bass component is increased, and when the sound is played at higher volumes. Use the following measures to suppress such resonance: * Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm from walls and other surfaces. * Reduce the volume. * Move the speakers away from any resonating objects.

  You cannot use MIDI connectors and the computer connector at the same time on your Roland Musical Instrument. When a MIDI device is connected to the MIDI connector, ensure that the computer switch is set to “MIDI”. When a computer is connected to the Computer connector, set the switch to either “MAC,” “PC-1,” or “PC-2.”
