Little Recording Time on Audio Track
■
Are you recording at the Hi-Fi setting?
→
If the recording quality is set to Hi-Fi, the available
recording time will be shorter than for LONG
(p. 112).
■
Have you recorded numerous short segments of audio
data?
→
The recording times listed in the owner's manual are
for continuous recording. The recording time will be
less if numerous fragments of short audio data
(several seconds) are recorded in a single song, or if
numerous short songs are recorded. The recording
time will also decrease if a portion of the audio data
is erased when being rerecorded, or the data cannot
be recorded (p. 111).
■
Is there unneeded data remaining?
→
Delete unneeded audio data (p. 114).
→
If you are using a card that had been used by
another device, data from that device may remain
on the card. Format the card (p. 125).
■
Have you saved backup files?
→
As the number of backup files increases, the
available recording time will diminish (p. 126).
Sounds Recorded to the Audio Track
Are Distorted
■
Did you change the setting of the REC INPUT selector
switch?
→
Set the REC INPUT selector switch to match the
instrument (or device) connected to REC INPUT
(p. 111).
■
Is the recording level adjusted to an appropriate setting?
→
Before you record, adjust the recording level so that
it is within the appropriate range (p. 113).
MIDI
Can’t Get Sound from the JS-5 Using
an External MIDI Device
■
Have the MIDI channels been set correctly?
→
Set the MIDI channels so that they match the parts
you want played (p. 131).
Others
Low Volume from the Instrument
Connected to REC INPUT/Something is
wrong with the sound quality
■
Are you connecting with a high-Z instrument cable or
other cable that introduces resistance?
→
Use cables (such as Roland’s PCS Series cables) that
do not add resistance.
■
Did you change the setting of the REC INPUT selector
switch?
→
Set the REC INPUT selector switch to match the
instrument (or device) connected to REC INPUT
(p. 111).
I muted inst 1 and inst 2, but the
backing guitar sound is still heard
→
Some special guitar sounds use a drum kit
instrument.
Modified settings are not saved
■
Are you modifying the settings of a preset song?
→
It is not possible to save changes made to a preset
song. If you wish to save the changes you make,
copy the song to a user song (p. 82).
■
Did you execute the Save procedure?
→
If you modified the settings of a user song, you must
execute the Save procedure if you wish to keep the
changes (p. 59).
