Changing the Tones
You can change the tone used for each clip, and edit its multi-effect.
Tones and Track Types
By loading a tone or sample into a project, you can change the tone
used by a clip.

About sample files
Sample files (in .wav format) must be placed in the ROLAND/MV/
SAMPLE folder of the SD card.
MEMO
Both the loaded samples (tones, drum instruments and vocal takes) and
recorded vocals use the memory in this unit. As this unit only has a certain
amount of memory, you should delete any samples or vocal takes you don’t
need to free up memory (p. 39, 44).
Check the amount of memory used in “U.SmplUsage” on the MEMORY INFO
screen (p. 44).
About sound files
Sound files (sound packs (.SDZ) / .SVZ files) saved on an SD card can be
loaded into a project.
Sound packs and other sound files are distributed via Roland Cloud.
For more about Roland Cloud, refer to the Roland website.
https://www.roland.com/
* Please be aware that in some countries or regions, it might not be possible to
use Roland Cloud at this time.
* When loading an SDZ/SVZ file, save the file in the ROLAND/SOUND folder of
the SD card.
NOTE
About user licenses
User license data is associated with a sound pack (.SDZ).
When a sound pack is imported into the unit, this unit can use only sound packs
that were downloaded by that user in accordance with the user license data. At
this time, the message “Install License” appears, confirming whether or not you
install license data in the unit (this message appears only the first time).
Sound packs whose user license data is different cannot be used. If you attempt
to install a sound pack that has different user license information, the message
“License Error” appears.
If you want to delete the user license data in the unit, for example if you are
selling the unit, execute FACTORY RESET (p. 43). When you execute FACTORY
RESET, the system settings return to their factory-set state.
