Why can’t I divide or combine projects on my Roland R-26?
If you can’t divide or combine projects on your Roland Recording Equipment, the SD card must have twice as much free space as occupied by the corresponding project(s). Free up enough space on the SD card.
Why is there no sound coming from my Roland R-26 Recording Equipment?
If you're experiencing no sound with your Roland Recording Equipment, the issue might be due to the output volume being too low. Try gradually increasing the output volume. Also, verify that your headphones or speakers are correctly connected.
What to do if my Roland Recording Equipment power won’t turn on?
If your Roland Recording Equipment won’t turn on, check the following: 1. Make sure that the AC adapter is connected correctly. 2. If using batteries, ensure they are oriented correctly and fit well in the compartment. 3. If the batteries are low, replace them with fresh ones.
How to fix distorted sound on my Roland Recording Equipment?
If the recorded sound from your Roland Recording Equipment is distorted, it's likely that the input level or input sensitivity is too high. Adjust the recording level appropriately to resolve this.
What to do if my Roland R-26 can’t play back files?
If you can't play back files on your Roland Recording Equipment, consider these points: * Ensure the file name is correctly assigned; the R-26 cannot use files that begin with a period (“.”). * Make sure the file extension is either .MP3 or .WAV, as the R-26 only supports these formats. * If the file is damaged, attempt to recover it using the Repair function. * When using the unit as an audio interface, ensure the project's sampling frequency matches the audio interface's set sampling frequency.
Why is my Roland R-26 playing unintended files?
If unintended files are played on your Roland Recording Equipment, the file Play Mode might be set to shuffle playback (SHUFFLE). Change the setting back to conventional playback (SEQUENTIAL).
Why was my Roland R-26 project divided unexpectedly?
If your project was divided unexpectedly on your Roland Recording Equipment, the device automatically divides the project if the file being recorded exceeds a specified size. Set the Split Type setting to specify the file size or recording level at which the file is to be automatically divided.
Why is the project name display slow when selecting a project on my Roland R-26 Recording Equipment?
If the project name display is slow when selecting a project on your Roland Recording Equipment, it's because the device needs to determine whether it is able to play the file. This occurs if the project is damaged, if the file is an invalid file or an unsupported type of MP3, or if the file is of a large size.
Why isn’t my Roland R-26 Recording Equipment recognized when connected to my computer via USB?
If your Roland Recording Equipment is not recognized by your computer via USB, and the “MENU” screen is displayed, or during playback or recording, disconnect the USB cable and try again.
Why is my Roland Recording Equipment only recording on the left channel?
If the sound recorded from the mic is only heard from the left channel on your Roland Recording Equipment, and you're using a monaural mic, this is normal. To record onto both channels, use the “MIC TYPE” screen to set the external mic type to “MONO.”
