Troubleshooting
Problem
Nothing appears in the screen of the connected video
monitor
The fan continues spinning after you've shut down
the CG-8
Image is dim/washed out/completely white
Patch is saved with an unintended appearance
Unwanted motion occurs even though you didn't ap-
ply modulation
Can't view the contents of a card
You pressed the [PICTURE] pad and then pressed a
visual pad but the image does not change
Parameter knobs don't work/produce unexpected re-
sults
Image does not move
Make sure that the CG-8's power is on.
Check the power supply of your video monitor.
The [FADE] knob may be set to "0." Adjust the [FADE] knob.
A patch might not be selected. Use the visual pads to select a patch.
Perhaps you've selected a patch that uses an effect that displays nothing.
Try selecting another patch.
Make sure that your video monitor is correctly connected to the CG-8.
Make sure that your video monitor's input select switch is set correctly.
Your video monitor may have failed to detect the video signal. After the
CG-8 has started up, try switching the input of your video monitor once
again.
The CG-8 continues to supply power to some of its circuits even in
standby mode in order to allow the system to be rebooted from the front
panel. The fan is spinning in order to cool these circuits. If you want to
avoid the power consumption of standby mode, press the CG-8's [POW-
ER] switch to turn off the power.
Make sure that the [FADE] knob is not set to an unintended position.
Patch movements are provided by parameter changes. These changes
are not saved as motion video like a movie, but rather are generated by
modulation and by an internal timer. This means that depending on the
state and timing at which you selected the patch, the output image may
be slightly different.
Make sure that the Grab Motion function is not enabled.
Make sure that you're not using an effect that responds to sound input.
Make sure that the files have the correct filename extension.
Format the CompactFlash card on the CG-8.
Use a CompactFlash card made by Roland (such as the separately avail-
able Roland PM-120-CF).
In rare circumstances, the card adaptor itself may fail to be recognized.
In this case, shut down the CG-8, disconnect the power cord, wait for a
while (two or three minutes), then try again.
It may be that you're using an effect of a type that does not use a picture.
Check the effect type.
Make sure that you didn't press the [PHOTO PATCH] pad or the
[STAMP PATCH] pad by mistake.
It may be that modulation is being applied inadvertently. Turn the
[RATE] knob all the way toward [SLOW], or press the [DEPTH] button
and turn the depth setting of each parameter to 0 (center).
Make sure that the D Beam [STROBE] button is not turned on, and that
nothing is placed on top of the D Beam.
For some effects the image will not move. Check the effect list.
