Try adjusting the following: * Part volumes ([ORGAN VOLUME], [PIANO VOLUME], [SYNTH VOLUME]) * [PIANO MIC/AMP] (if using amp simulation) * [MASTER EQ] * [SYNTH MFX] effect level.

    Why is the pitch off on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
    • A
      Andrea CollinsAug 21, 2025
      If the pitch is off on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, consider these potential causes: * The tuning may be off; adjust the Master Tune and Key Transpose. * The organ, piano, and synth Octave Shift and Fine Tune settings might not be set to the same values; adjust these settings accordingly. * If the wheel brake or glide function is assigned to the control pedal without a foot switch or control pedal connected to the [CONTROL PEDAL] jack, connect a foot switch/control pedal or assign a different function to the control pedal.
