Roland Clan Forums

Does anyone know what the patch category abbreviation 'PL' stands for? I'm sure it's something obvious but I just can't think.

Hi,

I don't suppose you've updated this for the new firmware/plug outs? If not, I'll have a go.

Apologies if this has been answered before - I have looked but couldn't find anything. I want my DAW (Logic 9) to control the start and stop of the Step Sequencer. I have made the following settings but no joy: Tempo Sync ON Rx Start/Stop ON Transmit MIDI (in Logic) ON What am I missing please? Chee...

This is now RESOLVED. Although Roland Tech Support weren't very quick (or helpful) with this issue, they pointed out that you don't need the driver installed to undertake the update. This made me realise that I was confusing the Roland Driver program with the Roland Drive folder - a subtle linguisti...

Let us know

Thanks for all your help so far. I contacted them on Friday so hopefully will have an answer before too long. I'll post any answers they give.

If you installed the driver while system 8 was connected via usb. Try to unistzll the driver, then reinstall without S8 connected. No, I installed the driver with only the mouse and QWERTY keyboard attached to the USB ports. I only connected the System 8 when the driver installation program instruc...

Hi, Does anyone know if I can download a list of patch names (and their descriptions) for the new OS 1.3? I know someone kindly did this for OS 1.02 on this forum but I've not come across a similar list for 1.30. It's a bore having to run through all the buttons looking for a the right kind of patch...

When you are powering the system8 while pushing KEY TRIG button to put it in system update mode, is the usb cable already connected ? It needs to be connected Only after entering the update mode. Yes, I am doing this - but still no joy. When the PC and USB are connected, the PC shows the System 8 a...

Thanks for the reply, Manic. Yes I've successfully installed the driver. As you probably know, to do this the PC has to recognise the System 8 and they have to communicate. The fact that they did this successfully to enable the installation of the driver makes the subsequent message (the PC 'not rec...

Hi, I am trying to update to 1.30. I have succesfully installed the Windows driver and downloaded the update. At the stage when I start my System 8 in the 'Update' mode, connect it via USB to my PC and open the Roland Drive folder, I get a message saying 'Device Not Found'. I have tested the USB to ...

That completely solved the problem! Thank you.

Hi, Has anyone else experienced hiss from their System 8? I purchased an ex-display Roland System 8 which emits an amount of hiss from the audio out connections, which I am surprised by as the outputs are balanced. I've made two noise floor tests for folk to listen to. Test 1 - System 8 factory rese...

Hi, Has anyone else experienced MIDI timing drift when syncing the Tempo to MIDI? I am currently playing back from my DAW (Logic 9.1.8) to the System 8 at 119bpm and the tempo changes from 119 to 119.1 every so often. This is playing havoc with the delay that is assigned to the patch, making it wobb...
