Q. Tempo indicator is not blinking (The VariOS does not produce sound)
The Tempo indicator on the VariOS's front panel always blinks in time with the tempo. If the Tempo
indicator does not light, check the following points.
• [If the VariOS is not connected to a computer]
The VariOS's MIDI Source may have been set to "MIDI."
Change the Clock Source to "INT" (p. 106).
• [If the VariOS is connected to a computer]
MIDI Clock data from your sequencer software is not being correctly output to the VariOS port
(Roland VariOS MIDI).
For V-Producer:
In the Options - MIDI/Audio Settings (
"Roland VariOS MIDI" as the MIDI Device, and check the "MIDI Clock" field.
For other sequencer software:
Using the procedure on p. 142, output the MIDI Clock data from your sequencer software to "Roland
VariOS MIDI."
Q.Sound does not play correctly
• If you use SOLO to encode a sound that contains large amounts of reverberation or which has no
sense of pitch, the sound may not play as you expect.
When encoding with the SOLO setting, you should select sounds that have as little reverberation as
possible. If the sound includes reverberation, use ENSEMBLE or BACKING to encode it (p. 57).
