    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.

    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.

    Why are effects not applying on my Roland V-Synth Electronic Keyboard?
    • T
      tammy00Aug 31, 2025
      If effects aren't applying to your Roland Electronic Keyboard, first ensure that the [MFX], [CHO], and [REV] effect switches are turned on. Also, verify that the send level of each effect is not set to 0. Even with send levels set, effects won't apply if the MFX Master Level, Chorus Master Level, or Reverb Master Level is set to 0. Finally, if Output Assign is set to something other than 'MULTI,' the MFX sound won't be output. Check the setting.

    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.

    • W
      wandajacksonAug 26, 2025
      If you encounter an “Unknown driver found” dialog box and can't install the driver for your Roland Synthesizer, it's possible that the computer has detected the V-Synth incorrectly. Delete the incorrect device information and then reinstall the driver.

      Julie SanchezAug 27, 2025
      To install, delete, or reinstall the driver in Windows XP/2000 for your Roland Synthesizer, you must be logged into Windows as a user with administrative privileges, such as Administrator. Also, you must configure “Driver Signing Options.”

    • L
      Lisa HolmesAug 27, 2025
      If Windows XP/2000 displays a “Hardware Installation” or “Digital Signature Not Found” dialog box when installing the Roland Synthesizer driver, you must configure the settings described in “Driver Signing Options.”

    Why does my Roland Synthesizer show the message of “Drivers needed for the USB device “V-Synth” are not available.
    • L
      Lydia WilkinsAug 28, 2025
      If you see the message “Drivers needed for the USB device “V-Synth” are not available” when using your Roland Synthesizer, it's possible that the V-Synth’s USB MIDI driver hasn't been correctly installed on your computer. Correctly install the USB MIDI driver as described in the Readme file on the included CD-ROM. Also, it's possible that there is a conflict with the driver of another USB device. If you have an I-O Data Corporation’s USB CD-R drive installed, disable “ISD 200 BOTBridge” or other driver file by moving it out of the Extensions folder, located within the system folder.

    What to do if sound is distorted on Roland V-Synth?
    • S
      srodriguezAug 29, 2025
      If the sound from your Roland Electronic Keyboard is distorted, check the effect settings to see if an effect that distorts the sound is active. Also, verify that the Patch level hasn't been turned up too high. Check the Level parameter setting.
