Using the HS-5

Connecting Two HS-5 Units

You can connect two HS-5 units so that up to eight people can perform simultaneously.

1  

On the bottom of each HS-5 unit, turn the [LINK] switch ON.

*  When the [LINK] switch is ON, the [MAIN MIX OUT] knob is disabled.
*  When the [LINK] switch is OFF, the [MAIN MIX OUT] knob is enabled. Since high volumes may occur 

depending on the settings of the knobs, you should turn down the [MAIN MIX OUT] knob before you 

turn the [LINK] switch OFF.

2  

Using two stereo-mini cables, connect the section E STEREO jack (input) of each unit to 

the MAIN MIX OUT

headphone jack (output) of the other unit.

*  The output from the second HS-5 is input by mixing it into section E.

Mounting on a Stand

You can mount the HS-5 on a stand (sold separately: PDS-10) for use.

1  

Use the screws on the bottom of the HS-5 to 

attach it to the PDS-10 stand holder as shown 

in the illustration.

2  

Attach the stand holder to the PDS-10, and 

fasten it.

*  For details on how to assemble the PDS-10 and 

how to attach the stand holder, refer to the PDS-10 

owner’s manual.

*  Do not use the screws that are included with the 

pad stand.

Connecting to a Computer

You can use a commercially available USB 2.0 cable to connect the HS-5 to your computer, and use 

recording/playback software (DAW) on your computer to record your performance. This allows you to 

record sections A–E as individual tracks (multi-track recording), or to record the mixed sound of sections 

A–E (MAIN MIX).
In addition to recording, you can also use the HS-5 to hear stereo songs or audio that’s played back from 

your computer.

*  You must install the USB driver before connecting the HS-5 to your computer. Download the USB 

driver from the Roland website. For details, refer to Readme.htm which is included in the download.

*  For details on DAW settings and recording procedure, refer to the owner’s manual of your DAW.
