Are you playing back GS Format song data?
Once the RD-300NX receives a GS Reset message, it then is enabled for GS Format. This
permits playback of music files bearing the GS logo (GS music files). However, data
created exclusively for the Sound Canvas Series may not play back properly on the
RD-300NX.

Is the audio data playable?

Nothing appears in the screen
Since the RD-300NX uses a liquid crystal screen, it may happen that no text or graphics
appear in the screen if the temperature is below zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees
Fahrenheit).
–
Vertical lines appear in the screen/
Color is “washed out” at the edges of
the screen
These occur due to the nature of a liquid crystal display, and do not indicate a
malfunction.
They can be minimized by adjusting the contrast of the screen. –
Screen display is irregular when power
is turned on/off
This is due to the nature of an LCD screen; it does not indicate a malfunction. –
Pedal does not work, or is “stuck”/Pedal
does not operate correctly
Is the pedal connected correctly?
Plug the cord firmly into the pedal jack.
p. 16
Are you using a pedal made by another manufacturer?
Use the pedal included with the RD-300NX or an optional DP Series or similar pedal.
p. 15
Can’t read or write USB memory
successfully
Are you using Roland USB memory (sold separately)?
Reliable performance cannot be guaranteed if you use non-Roland USB memory
products.
–
If you are unable to read or write USB memory successfully, change the USB Memory
Mode setting.
p. 61
Reverberation remains even if you
defeat the Reverb effect
The RD-300NX’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an
acoustic piano, and this may give the impression of reverberation even if you’ve
defeated the Reverb effect.
–
The sound of the higher notes suddenly
changes from a certain key
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the top
of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These notes
also have a somewhat different tonal character. RD-300NX faithfully simulate this
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the RD-300NX, the range that is unaffected by the
damper pedal will change according to the key control setting.
–
High-pitched ringing is heard
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-
frequency components that may sound as though a metallic ringing has been added.
This is because the character of an actual piano is being faithfully reproduced, and is
not a malfunction.
You can adjust this ringing by editing the following settings.
• Duplex scale settings (p. 43)
• String resonance settings (p. 43)
• Reverb depth (p. 32)
–
Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy
With certain tones, the sounds may seem to be distorted.
Turn down the volume. Alternatively, lower the master gain setting.
–
Can’t rewind or fastforward
You can not rewind or fast-forward while music files is being read in. Wait until
processing finishes.
–
If you attempt to play back performance data that contains more data than the entire
capacity of the RD-300NX’s memory, you may find that operations other than playback
(such as rewind or fast forward) become unavailable.
–
Songs in USB memory are not played
immediately
SMF music files comes in two types; Formats 0 and 1. In the case of format 1 data, it
may take a certain amount of time for playback to begin.
The format type is indicated on the booklet for the music files you’re using. –
