Roland D Station Electronic Keyboard User Manual


 
Volume - Rotary
This knob adjusts the overall output volume of the D Station on both the Main L/R and
Headphone outputs. The volume of a drum sound can be set individually using the ‘Level’
controls in each section.
NOTE: This control can be overidden by MIDI Volume data. If a MIDI Volume of ‘0’ has been
received by the D Station, no output will be heard regardless of the position of this knob. To
reset the volume either transmit the relevant MIDI Volume level or move the Volume knob -
this automatically overides the MIDI setting.
Drum Kit - Buttons
Here you select which drum kit (TR808 or TR909) will be edited when using the front panel
controls or any of the Utility functions. Each ‘Progam’ has TR808 & TR909 sounds - see
‘Function 5 - General MIDI Setup’ on page 36.
Write - Switch
This switch protects your programs from accidental erasure. During normal operation it should be left in it’s ‘Protect’ position
however, when you have edited or created a new program that you want to save, moving it to the ‘Enable’ position will
allow you to “write” over an existing program - see “Writing a Program Into Memory” on page 13.
Headphone - Socket
Use this 1/4 jack socket to monitor the output of your D Station Rack via headphones. This output will drive any type of
headphones.
