Common Roland VP-03 Questions
How do I sync the VP-03's sequencer to an external MIDI clock, like a drum machine or DAW?
Set the VP-03's MIDI Sync Mode to 'Auto' or 'MIDI' via the back panel switch. If set to MIDI, make sure your external device is sending MIDI clock messages to the VP-03's MIDI IN.
How do I save my vocoder settings (voice, ensemble, reverb, etc.) as a User Program (Preset)?
Press and hold the MAN SHIFT button, then press the desired User Program number (1-16). The selected program will be overwritten with your current settings.
I'm getting no vocoder sound when I speak into the microphone. What am I doing wrong?
Ensure the microphone is properly connected to the MIC jack, and that the 'MIC' button is active. Also, make sure the MOD SOURCE knob is turned up to blend in the microphone signal with the synth sound.
What is the difference between the 'Advanced Step Sequencer' and the regular 'Sequencer' on the VP-03?
The Advanced Step Sequencer lets you record motion data for the knobs for more complex and evolving patterns, while the regular sequencer just records note and gate information.
How can I use the VP-03's Chord Memory function to create harmonies?
Activate CHORD MEMORY, then play a single note; the VP-03 will automatically trigger a pre-programmed chord assigned to that key. Select which chord is assigned via the knob on the left.
