If you want to save a patch you created in the Sound Shaper,
you must also execute “Save Project” (p.53) in addition to
“PATCH Write” (p.132). If you don’t execute “Save Project,”
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 the pitch wrong on my Roland V-Synth Electronic Keyboard?
    • S
      shelley18Aug 29, 2025
      Incorrect pitch on your Roland Electronic Keyboard can stem from several settings. Check the Coarse Tune and Fine Tune parameters in the Oscillator section, as well as the Master Tune setting. Also, verify whether a Pitch Bend message has been received from an external device, potentially causing the pitch to remain altered. Try moving the pitch bend lever of the connected MIDI keyboard.

    How to fix low volume from instrument connected to input jacks on Roland V-Synth?
    • 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.

    Why do notes not stop when playing Roland V-Synth Electronic Keyboard?
    • D
      Dale RobersonAug 31, 2025
      If notes don't stop when you play your Roland Electronic Keyboard, the polarity of the Hold Pedal might be reversed. Check the Hold Polarity parameter setting.

    • R
      Ricky NicholsAug 25, 2025
      If your Roland Electronic Keyboard isn't powering on, verify that the AC cord is properly connected both to the keyboard and to a functioning AC outlet. Check the AC cord connections.

    Why no sound from connected MIDI device on Roland Electronic Keyboard?
    • J
      Julie SmithSep 1, 2025
      If there's no sound from a connected MIDI device on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, ensure the instrument is set to transmit MIDI messages by checking the Patch Tx Ch parameter setting. Also, confirm that the MIDI transmit channel for the V-Synth matches the MIDI receive channel for the connected MIDI device. Check the Patch Tx Ch parameter setting.

    What to do if Roland V-Synth Electronic Keyboard oscillator type is EXT IN but no sound is heard?
    • E
      Elizabeth WilliamsSep 2, 2025
      If the Oscillator Type on your Roland Electronic Keyboard is set to 'EXT IN,' but no sound is heard when audio is input through the INPUT jacks, remember that you won't hear sound unless you play the keyboard. Try playing the keyboard.

    Why exclusive messages are not received on Roland V-Synth?
    • F
      franklincrystalSep 2, 2025
      If exclusive messages are not being received by your Roland Electronic Keyboard, check if the instrument is set to receive Exclusive messages by setting the Rx Sys-Ex parameter to ON. Also, verify that the Device ID number of the transmitting device matches the Device ID number of the V-Synth by checking the Device ID parameter setting.

    Why can’t I edit or encode a wave on my Roland Electronic Keyboard?
    • B
      brian59Sep 3, 2025
      If you can’t edit or encode a wave on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, you might have selected a preset wave. The V-Synth’s factory-loaded preset waves cannot be edited or encoded. Select a sample that you’ve sampled or imported.

    What to do if beep tone continues after turning off Roland Electronic Keyboard?
    • H
      Heather MorganSep 4, 2025
      If the beep tone continues to sound the next time you turn on your Roland Electronic Keyboard, even after turning it off, the Power-up Mode is likely set to 'Default.' Change it to 'Last Set' and save the System settings.
