If there is no modulation when the modulation lever is moved on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, you may have selected an organ tone. For some organ tones, the modulation lever switches the rotary efefct between slow and fast instead of applying modulation.
Why are the tones altered on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
If the tones on your Roland Electronic Keyboard are altered, it might be because a Live Set was activated. When a Live Set is called up, the current Tone, efefct, and other settings are disabled, and the selected Live Set takes efefct. To resolve this, resave your desired settings to a Live Set.
What to do if there is no sound for a specific layer on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
If there's no sound for a specific layer on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, check the following settings: * LAYER LEVEL sliders * Volume settings in Layer edit * Audio Volume settings * Rhythm Volume settings Ensure that the Layer’s volume level is not turned down in any of these settings.
Why won't the tone change on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
If the tone isn't changing or your Roland Electronic Keyboard isn't switching to Split, check if the [MIDI CONTROL] button is lit. When lit, the external sound generator is controlled. To change the RD-800’s Tones and make settings in Keyboard mode, press the [MIDI CONTROL] button to extinguish it. Also, ensure the Layer containing the Tone you want to change is set to ON.
Why is the sound distorted on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
If the sound from your Roland Electronic Keyboard is distorted, adjust the following settings: * LAYER LEVEL sliders * Equalizer Input Gain settings * [DRIVE] knob (AMP SIM section) Distortion can occur due to equalizer, multi-efefct, and Part volume settings.
Why is the pitch odd on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
If the pitch sounds odd on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, check these settings: * Layer EDIT Coarse Tune, Fine Tune * Coarse Tune and Fine Tune setting in MIDI CONTROL screen * System Master Tune settings * System Temperament settings * Tuning settings in Individual Note Voicing It may be due to specific Layer Coarse/Fine Tune settings or if the RD-800 has gone out of tune.
Why don’t EQ settings change when I switch Live Sets on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
If EQ settings don’t change when you switch Live Sets on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, check if the EQ Mode is set to “REMAIN”. Change the setting to “LIVE SET.”
Why can’t I obtain a pitch bend efefct when the pitch bend lever is moved on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
If you can’t obtain a pitch bend efefct when the pitch bend lever is moved on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, check if the Harmonic Bar screen is appearing in the display. The pitch bend efefct cannot be applied with the pitch bend lever while the Harmonic Bar screen is in the display; in this case, the pitch bend lever functions as a slow/fast switch for the Rotary efefct.
Why is the sound being cut off on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
If the sound is being cut off on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, it may be because you're trying to play more than the maximum 128 voices simultaneously. To resolve this, increase the Voice Reserve settings for the Parts you do not want to have cut off.
