Common Roland D-05 Questions
How do I sync the D-05 to other MIDI devices like a DAW or another synth?
Set the D-05's System settings (SHIFT + 1) to determine its MIDI clock source (Internal, MIDI, or USB). Also, ensure the MIDI channel is set correctly for both the D-05 and the external device.
How do I save my custom patterns and kits on the D-05?
Press SHIFT + SAVE, choose a memory location (pattern number), and press ENTER to save the current pattern. Kits are saved along with the pattern in the same save operation.
The D-05 is making no sound, what should I check?
Verify that the volume is turned up, both on the unit and any connected headphones or speakers. Also, ensure the 'mute' or 'pause' function in the sequencer isn't accidentally engaged.
How do I use the Chord button feature to create sequences with chords?
Press the CHORD button, then press the keys that make up the desired chord; the D-05 will record those notes for each step the button is pressed when creating or editing a sequence.
How do I access the D-05's chorus effect and adjust its parameters?
The chorus effect is applied globally. Access the chorus parameters by pressing SHIFT + 8 (Chorus) and use the VALUE knob to adjust its depth and rate.
