the PCM oscillator of the patch you created in Sound Shaper
will no longer sound the next time you turn on the power.

    Why is there no sound coming from my Roland Synthesizer?
    • D
      Dr. Janice HughesSep 10, 2025
      Several factors could cause a lack of sound or low volume. First, ensure your amplifier or mixer is powered on. Then, check the volume levels on both the V-Synth and any connected equipment. If sound is present in the headphones, examine the connection cables for damage or potential malfunctions in the amp or mixer. Also, verify that the Local Switch is turned ON, the Patch level isn't too low, the Effect settings are properly configured, the output destination settings are correct, no external MIDI devices are sending volume-reducing messages, the oscillator is on, and the V-Synth isn't in USB Storage mode.

    How to fix V-Synth driver not mounted in Windows XP?

      Elizabeth PenaAug 25, 2025
      If the V-Synth driver is not mounted in Windows XP, and a network drive is mounted, change the assignment of the network drive.

    Why does Roland Synthesizer “Found unknown device” appears even though you installed the driver?
    • M
      Marcus JamesAug 26, 2025
      If the “Found unknown device” dialog box appears even though you've installed the driver for your Roland Synthesizer, and your computer or USB hub has multiple USB connectors, it could be because you connected the V-Synth to a USB connector to which it hasn't been connected before. Reinstall the driver, referring to the Readme file on the included CD-ROM. If the issue persists with the same USB connector, the computer may have detected the V-Synth incorrectly. Delete the incorrect device information and reinstall the driver.

    Why does my Roland Synthesizer computer does not turn off when I attempt to exit Windows?
    • N
      nwilkersonSep 23, 2025
      If your computer doesn't turn off when you exit Windows while the V-Synth is powered up, it might be because you need to cancel the USB connection before turning off the power of the V-Synth and exiting Windows.

    What to do if my Roland Synthesizer sound is distorted?
    • S
      Sean WardSep 12, 2025
      If the sound from your Roland Synthesizer is distorted, it could be due to an effect that distorts the sound. Check your effect settings. It could also be that the Patch level has been turned up too high, so check the Level parameter setting.

    How to troubleshoot a Roland Synthesizer when the volume level of the instrument connected to INPUT Jacks is too low?
    • H
      Holly GuzmanSep 15, 2025
      If the volume level of an instrument connected to the INPUT Jacks of your Roland Synthesizer is too low, you might be using a connection cable that contains a resistor. Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

    Why does my Roland Synthesizer stop functioning when waking up my computer from Suspend?
    • J
      Joshua WilliamsSep 23, 2025
      If your Roland Synthesizer stops functioning when waking your computer from Suspend, it's possible that waking up the computer from the Suspend state while a powered-up V-Synth is connected via USB can cause the computer to freeze. Power down the V-Synth before you Suspend your computer.

    • J
      John ShawAug 30, 2025
      If the volume level of an instrument connected to the INPUT Jacks of your Roland Electronic Keyboard is too low, the issue might be the connection cable. Be sure to use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
