Common Roland SH-4d Questions
How do I sync the SH-4d to other gear using MIDI?
In the System settings, configure the MIDI Clock Source to 'Internal' (SH-4d master) or 'External' (SH-4d slave). Also, set the MIDI channel for receiving notes on the desired part in the Sound settings for that part.
How do I save my custom sound designs as a preset?
Press the 'Manual' button, then hold the 'Write' button and select a memory location (1-64) with the Value knob to save your current sound.
How do I quickly copy a sequence pattern from one part to another?
Press the 'Pattern' button, select the desired part, then press and hold the 'Copy' button while selecting the destination part. The sequence will be copied.
My SH-4d is making no sound, even though the level meters are showing activity. What should I check?
First, ensure the 'Output' knob on the back panel is turned up. Second, check the 'System' settings to confirm that the audio output routing is correct for your setup (e.g., headphones, main outputs).
How do I use the SH-4d's D-Motion feature to control parameters?
Assign a parameter to D-Motion in the 'System' settings under 'Motion'. Then, enable D-Motion using the dedicated button, and tilt the SH-4d to affect the assigned parameter in real-time.
