For some Tones, the pitch in certain ranges may sound different than other
Tones.
Could the tuning of the GW-8 be incorrect?
• Check the Master Tune setting.
Could the pitch have been changed by pedal operations or by pitch bend mes-
sages received from an external MIDI device?
If you attempt to play more than 128 voices simultaneously, currently sounding
notes may be cut off.
Check the format of your USB memory.
The GW-8 can use USB memory that has been formatted as FAT. If your USB
memory was formatted using any other method, please re-format it using FAT.
Check the following points.
• Could the USB memory be write protected?
• Is there sufficient free space on the USB memory?
This may be due to the following reasons.
• Playlists may not be shown if you directly add/delete/modify the song
data in the ROLAND folder without using Playlist Editor.
• For some reason the USB memory is not recognized.
• It is possible that the USB memory was not formatted correctly. The GW-8
can use USB memory that has been formatted as FAT. If your USB memory
was formatted using any other method, please re-format it using FAT.
• Are the songs placed in the root directory?
Songs may not be shown if you directly add/delete/modify the song data
in the ROLAND folder without using Playlist Editor.
• It is possible that the USB memory was not formatted correctly. The GW-8
can use USB memory that has been formatted as FAT. If your USB memory
was formatted using any other method, please re-format it using FAT.
Check the file name.
• The file name for a Style or Song that can be used by the GW-8 must be
no longer than sixteen characters (not including the filename extension).
You can use the following characters.
A–Z 0–9 ! # $ % & ' ( ) - @ ^ _ ` { }
• You must assign a filename extension of ".stl" to Style files, and a filename
extension of ".mid" to Song files.
This may be due to the following reasons.
• The file type of the song is not one of the file types that the GW-8 can
play.
• It may be that the song data is damaged.
• Songs cannot be played if you directly add/delete/modify the song data
in the ROLAND folder without using Playlist Editor.
