The recording buffer is memory that temporarily stores the input sound before it is written to the SD memory card. The buffer gauge indicates how much of the recording buffer has been used. Normally, the recording buffer never reaches capacity because input sound is immediately written to the SD memory card. However, if the SD memory card processing capability decreases and writing data to the SD memory card is delayed, then the data may accumulate to an excess and the buffer may overflow. (The SD memory card processing capability may be affected if file arrangement on the card becomes irregular due to project files being repeatedly written and deleted. If such a situation is encountered, you can restore the card to its original processing capability by formatting it.) When the recording buffer is close to capacity, the “SD buffering” message is displayed. When the recording buffer reaches capacity, the buffer gauge moves all the way to the right edge and the “SD Card Slow!” message is shown. Recording does not stop even if the “SD Slow” message is displayed, but some sound is not recorded. This message will not disappear until a button is pressed. For important recordings, we recommend formatting the SD memory card before use. Some SD memory cards may have a slow writing speed, so that even immediately after they have been formatted, recording at a high bit rate may cause a similar message to be displayed. When purchasing an SD memory card, please check whether it has been verified to work correctly with the R-44 (p. 76).

& F-Te_nov.book 22 —% 2008#5H15A AMF FHANS 32 à & Introducing the R-44 On the R-44, the data that you record and play back are handled in units called projects. On the SD memory card, each project actually consists of a folder with one or more files, as shown below. If you connect the R-44 to your computer, you can see how these folders and files are organized. However, if you change, delete, or rename the files within a project, the R-44 may be unable to play that project. Please use caution.

The file can be used by waveform editing software that supports BWF Caution when copying files from your computer Be aware of the following when copying files from your computer to the R-44's SD memory card. + The R-44 can play only linear PCM WAV files at sampling frequencies of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, or 192 KHz and bit depths of 16 or 24 bits. It cannot play any other type of file. File and folder names containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) are not displayed correctly. Any files other than WAV files cannot be recognized by the R-44 and will not be displayed. Files beginning with .” (dot) will not be displayed. You must not copy files larger than 2 GB into the R-44/s SD memory card. Doing so will make the R-44's operation unstable, and in the worst case might even damage the files in the SD memory card.

À If you apply an effect while recording, the volume and tone of the recorded sound will be different than the original sound. Before applying an effect aggressively during recording, you should monitor the sound through headphones in recording standby mode to make sure that the sound is not clipped or distorted. We recommend that you make a test recording. For details on the settings, refer to “Applying Effects” (p. 56). When effects are operating, the Effect button lights. f ON D wat is an effect? On the R-44, an “effect” is a process that digitally transforme the sound, giving it greater clarity or impact Effects can also make the sound more intelligible or reduce undesirable noise. 2 is clipping? D Wnatis clipping? Applying an effect or boosting the level may increase the sound level (volume) beyond the maximum that a device can handle; this occurrence is called clipping. Loud sounds may be accompanied by distortion or crackly noises. 2 _wnatis an MS mic? An MS mic creates stereo sound by combining sound from a main microphone (unidirectional) that records central sounds (mid-signal: M) and a bi-directional microphone that records lateral sounds (side signal: S). 55 (a)

Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings) Applying Effects You can adjust the R-44's effects not only while in standby for recording or playback, but also while you are listening to the sound during actual playback or recording.

Higher sampling frequencies allow higher-quality recording but produce larger project files, meaning that there will be less available recording time on the SD memory card. The 44.1 kHz setting is sufficient when recording audio that falls within the normally audible range. This frequency is also the most suitable if you are going to load the recorded file into your computer to create a music CD You can use the higher frequency settings when recording audio that contains a significant amount of high-frequency content from instruments such as cymbals or when you want to capture the brightness and transparency of a natural environment.

Troubleshooting If you experience difficulties, read this section first. It contains tips on how to resolve various problems. Problems with the Compute Cannot close the connection with the R-44 When using Windows and if Explorer or any other software referencing the SD memory card is open when you attempt to close the USB connection between the R-44 and your computer, the error message “An error occurred while removing USB mass storage device - Unable to close device ‘unspecified volume. Please execute Stop Device again later.” will appear, and you will be unable to disconnect the R-4. Close all software or windows that are referencing the SD memory card. Then execute “Safely Remove Hardware” (p. 72) once again. Problems with Recording Cannot record You cannot record correctly if the input level specified with the Input level knobs is too low. Please set the input level correctly. Refer to: “Adijusting the input levels” (p.30) When recording from connected microphones, make sure that the microphones are properly connected to the XLR input connectors. Ni Also check the setting of the Phantom power switch. Las) È Refer to: ‘Phantom Power Switches [PHANTOM POWERJ” (p. 10) d You cannot record correctly if the Input Select system setting is wrong. Refer to: “System Setup” (p.60) Recorded audio is distorted The audio is distorted if the input level is too high. Refer to “’Adjusting the input levels” (p. 30), and use the Input level knobs to adjust the level appropriately. In some cases, the sound may be distorted because an effect has been applied while recording. You should adjust the input level with the effect applied. Adjust the effect parameters so that distortion does not appear.

& R-Hie_nev.book 76 X—2 2008#5A15H AH HAS 3/7 Troubleshooting _4||[e Pan (stereo image) is not stored correctly If the limiter is turned on, it will respond to the levels of each channel, meaning that when the level of a sound located toward the right (or left) side increases, the limiter for that channel will limit the volume. If you're recording in stereo, the result will be that the left and right volume difference will diminish, causing the pan (stereo image) to move toward the center. +. Panning can be correctly recorded by linking the limiters of the channels being recorded in stereo using the Limiter Link. Refer to: “1 Recording Setup” (p. 66) If using the Comp&DeEsser effect with channel linking (LINK) set separately for CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4, and the compressor begins to operate on CH]1 (left), this will eliminate the level difference with CH2 (right), causing the pan (stereo image) to move toward the center. + _In this case, set the LINK setting to CH142 or CH3+4 so that whenever compression starts being applied to CHI (left), it will be applied to CH2 (right) at the same time. Refer to: _‘’Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings)” (p. 55) Also, the stereo image will not be recorded correctly if the input level knob settings differ significantly between L and K, so that the levels are not balanced correctly. Even though the recording levels are set, the sound is distorted when an effect is turned on Since some effects work by emphasizing a portion of the sound, this may increase the volume of the overall song, thereby causing clipping (distortion). You may take either of the following two actions. + Lower the level (LEV) values for each effect parameter The overall volume will decrease, but the character of the effect will be maintained. Refer to: _“Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings)” (p. 55) + Lower the input level to decrease the volume before applying the effect This adjustment is easy to make, but may change the resulting character of the effect. The SD Card Slow! message is shown + Writing access to the SD memory card has slowed down. As you repeatedly write and delete project files, the files on the SD memory card become fragmented, and this slows down the processing speed. If making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when finished with them. Repeated deletion of smaller pieces of data causes the SD memory card to become fragmented, possibly causing recording to fail. + The write speed for the SD memory card is specified to be slow. The write speed may be slow depending on the model number of the SD memory card. The Roland website provides the most recent information regarding operation. Please use only SD memory cards with model numbers for which operations have been confirmed.

Troubleshooting Problems with Playback No sound +_Ifthe Monitor level knob is turned too far down, the volume may be t00 low for you to hear. Gradually increase the Monitor level knob. Refer to: “Monitor Level Knob [MONITOR (PUSH) SELECT]” (p. 13) + Ifthe output assignments are not set appropriately, sound is not output. Refer to: “Output assignments” (p. 18) + Make sure that your headphones or speakers are connected correctly. No sound from the Internal speakers In the system settings for Speaker (p. 69), make sure that Speaker Switch is ON. No sound is output from the Internal speakers if this setting is OFF. No sound is output from the Internal speakers if headphones are connected. To prevent acoustic feedback, no sound is output from the Internal speakers during recording or recording standby. When the sound is too loud, the protection circuit is activated and sounds stop. Turn the Monitor level knob to the left to adjust the volume to an appropriate level. Skips occur in the sound As you repeatedly write and delete project files, the files on the SD memory card become fragmented, and this slows down the processing speed. If you continue recording in this state, the message “SD Card Slow!” is shown, and skips may oceur in the recorded project < If making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when finished with > them. Repeated deletion of smaller pieces of data causes the SD memory card to become fragmented, possibly causing recording to fail.

Troubleshooting Problems with R-44 Operation Power does not turn on + Make sure that the AC adaptor is correctly connected. Ifusing batteries, make sure that each battery is securely in place and in the correct orientation. Itis also possible that the batteries have run down, so you should obtain a new set of batteries. Refer t “Connecting the AC Adaptor and Turning the Power On/Off” (p. 24) “Installing Batteries and Turning on the Power” (p. 25) + Make sure that the HOLD switch is turned off. If power is turned on when the Hold switch is on, the display indicates “HOLD ON” and turns off power. Refer to: _ “Hold Switch [HOLD}” (p. 10) Finder operation is sluggish If a folder contains a large number of files, operations are sluggish when you open the Finder, and the screen does not scroll easily. Try moving projects in the folder to a different folder so that the folder contains fewer projects. Display is dark The Display Timer setting in Display Setup sets the display to go dark when the unit has not been operated for a while. Refer to: “4 Display Setup” (p.69) Settings disappear À If effect settings or system settings you made have reverted to their original state, it is possible that you À N inadvertently reset the R-44 to its factory default settings. 4 Refer to: ‘Executing Factory Reset (Restoring Factory Default Settings)” (p. 65) Effect parameters that you set have been initialized Effect parameter values are stored as long as the effect type is not changed; they will return to the default values if the effect type is changed. If you have made detailed settings, you should make a note of those settings to use them again. Refer to: “Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings)” (p.55) Cannot operate the panel Make sure that the HOLD switch is turned off. If the HOLD switch is on, the panel buttons and the [SCRUB/VALUE] dial are inoperable. Refer to: ‘Hold S: h [HOLD] (p. 10) Project names and folder names in the Main screen or Finder are garbled The characters that are not “Available characters” are not displayed properly. In addition, RENAME may not have been performed correctly. Refer to: “Available characters” (p.70) Power turns off about 30 seconds after being turned on The external power supply is depleted. Replace the external power supply with a new device or switch to the AC adaptor. When using the AC adaptor, set the final voltage (Ext-Power) to Adaptor. Refer to: “Setting the final voltage’ (p.27)
