Troubleshooting

If your system is not operating as you think it should be, first check
the following points. If after checking these points the

problem persists, consult your dealer or local Roland Service Station.

* If any sort of message is being displayed on the screen during an

operation, refer to

“Error Messages/Messages”

(p. 164).

No power

Is the AC Adapter plugged into the power
socket correctly?

No sound

Is the power for the connected amp and
speakers turned on? (p. 18)

Is the volume turned down?

Check the volume settings for the RS-70 and any connected amp
or mixer (p. 18).

Are the components properly connected? (p. 17)

If you are able to hear sound through headphones, this may
suggest a short in a cable or a malfunctioning amp or mixer.
Recheck connector cables and the connected equipment.

If you are in Pattern mode, has the Part been
muted? (p. 67)

If you are in Pattern mode, have the Part
Level settings been lowered? (p. 80)

Have you switched the RS-70 mode to that for
listening to demo songs?

Press [EXIT] to return to regular performance mode (p. 21).

Is [SOLO SYNTH] set to ON?

The RS-70 does not sound if you just switch [SOLO SYNTH] on.
Hold down keys, then move your hand over the D Beam (p. 36).

Are the effects settings correct?

Check effects ON/OFF (p. 91), multi-effects levels (p. 57, p. 80),
and other related settings.

Has the pitch of the patch exceeded the range
in which it can be sounded normally?

Use “Octave Shift” to lower (raise) the range being played (p.
34).

If no sound is produced when you press keys
on the keyboard, is Local control set to OFF?

Set Local Control to ON (p. 125).

Do the transmission and reception channels match?

• If using the RS-70 to sound an external MIDI sound generator,

check to make sure the channels being used for transmission by
the keyboard are matched up with the channels used for

reception by the relevant Parts on the external MIDI sound
generator (p. 130).

• If using an external MIDI device to sound the RS-70, each Part’s

reception channel needs to be set so it matches the channels that
will be used for transmission by the external MIDI device (p.
131).

Are volume levels being lowered by pedal
movements, or by MIDI messages (expression
messages) received from an external MIDI
device?

Is the MIDI Rx (Receive) Switch of the
corresponding part set to “OFF”?

If using the RS-70 with an external MIDI device, turn it “ON” (p.
132).

Could the Bank Select and Program Change
messages transmitted by an external device
have the wrong values?

If using the RS-70 with an external MIDI device, make sure that
the correct Bank Select and Program Change messages (p. 132)
are transmitted.

Is the Clock Source set to MIDI?

If you set the clock source to “MIDI,” some of the effects that are
synchronized with the quick sequencer or the tempo will not
work. Set the clock source to “INT” except when you want to
synchronize the RS-70 with an external MIDI device (p. 125).

The pitch is off

Could Transpose be on? (p. 35)

Are the Octave Shift settings correct? (p. 34)

Are the Scale Tune settings correct? (p. 128, p.
81)

Are the Master Key Shift settings correct? (p.
125)

Are the Master Tune settings correct? (p. 125)

Sounds are missing

Could a Solo switch be set to ON?

When a Solo switch (p. 57) is on, only one sound is played even
when more than one key is pressed. If you want multiple sounds
to play simultaneously, set the Solo switch to OFF.

Are you attempting to play more than 64
voices simultaneously?

• Reduce the number of notes that are played simultaneously.

• Reduce the number of notes in the pattern being played.

• Set Voice Reserve higher for an important Part, to help assure

that it will always be sounded (p. 79).
