lmportant Notes

1.

Power Supply

&When using an AC adaptor, be sure that it is one supplied by the manufacturer. Use of any other power adaptor could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

&When making any connections devices, always turn off the with other power to all equipment first; this will help prevent damage or malfunction.

&Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise, such as a motor or variable lighting system.

&Please use the AC Adaptor of appropriate voltage (12o,22O, or 24o) depending on the voltage system in your contury.

&Avoid damaging the power cord; do not step on it, place heavy objects on it etc.

&When disconnecting the AC adaptor from the outlet, grasp the plug itself; never pull on the cord.

&lf

the unit is to remain unused for a long period of time, unplug the power cord.

2.

Placement

&Do not subject the unit

to

temperature extremes (eg. direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Avoid using or storing the unit in dusty or humid areas or areas that are subject to high vibration levels.

&Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large transformers) may induce hum.

&Observe the following when using the unit's disk drive. For further details, refer to "Disk

Handling".

-Do not place the unit near devices that produce a strong magnetic field(eg. loudspeakers).

-lnstall the unit on a solid, Ievel surface.

-Do not move the unit or subiect it to vibration while it is operating.

&Do not expose this unit

to

temperature extremes (eg. direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle can deform or discolor the unit) or install it near devices that radiate heat.

&lnstall the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from vibration. lf the unit must be installed at an angle, be sure that the angle of installation falls within the to lerance range

(With stand: upward; 27 degrees, downward

13 degrees. Without stand: upward; 20 degrees, downward; 20 degrees)

.aa

4

&Avoid using the drive in areas of high humidity

(eg. condensation). High levels of moisture can adversely affect the operation of the drive and /or damage disks.When the unit has been transpoded, allow it to warm to room temperature before operating.

@To inserl a disk, push it firmly into the drive.

To remove a disk, press the eject button firmly. Do not use excessive force to remove a disk which is lodged in the drive.

&Never remove a disk from the drive while it is operating; damage could result to both the disk and the drive.

&Before powering up or powring down, remove any disk from the drive.

3.

Maintenance

&For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth (or one that has been slightly dampened with water). To remove stubborn dirt, use a mild neutral detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

&Never use benzene, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the risk of disc oloration and

/ or deformation.

4.

Additional Precautions

&Protect the unit from strong impact.

&A small amount of noise may be heard from the display, and thus should be considered nomal.

&Do not allow objects or liquids of any kind to penetrate the unit. ln the event of such an occurrence, discontinue use immediately.

Contact qualified service personnel as possible.

as soon

&should a malfunction occur (or if you suspect there is a problem) discontinue use immed iately. Contact qualified service presonnel as soon as possible.

Disk Handling

s*$

The MV-30 uses 3.5 inch 2DD dual side double density double track micro type disks to store the

System Program, songs you create, and timbre data parameters.

1.

lnserting a disk

With the disk label facing upward and the shutter (the metal cover) pointing away from you, hold the disk level and gently insert it into the disk drive until you hear it click into place.

* Be sure to insert the disk all the way,

2.

Ejecting a disk

Press the eject button of the disk drive and the disk will pop out.

x If the disk becomes stuck, do not use force to remove

it

this drive indicator is lit!

3.

Disk write protection

Floppy disks have a write-protect tab that prevents data from accidentally being erased.

To prohibit writing (to protect the disk)

Move the protect tab outward (to the PROTECT position).

To permit writing (when you wish to write dataf

Move the protect tab inward (to the WRITE position).

4.

Disk handling

back side write permit protect tab write prohibit

Floppy disks contain a plastic disc coated with magnetic particles. Observe the following when handling disks:

- Never touch the magnetic surface of a disk (do not open the metal shutter).

-

Do not use disks in dusty locations.

-

Do not subject disks to temperature extremes (eg. direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended temperature range:1O to SO"C.

-

Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields such as those generated by loudspeakers.

Never remove a disk from the disk drive while it is operating (the drive's LED is lit); doing so could result in damage to both the disk and the drive.

Remove any disk from the drive before turning the units power on or off.

All important data should be copied onto backup disks. This provides a complete duplicate of the data, should the original disks be lost or damaged.

Affix disk labels firmly. Should the label come loose while a disk is in the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.

2.Starting up the System

@@&

After the MV-30's power is turned on, it must load its System Program from the included System Disk before it is able to function. This is known as "starting up the system".

-l

o

Before you turn the power on, check the following points:

-

Have all connections been made correctly?

-

ls the disk drive empty?

-

Are the volume levels on all amplifiers turned down?

@ Turn on the MV-30.

Rear panel press on

G) lnsert the System Disk into the disk drive until it clicks into place.

Be sure that the disk is oriented correctly.

The System Program will automatically be loaded. When startup is completed, the following display will appear.

S.Gopying the System Disk

&e& Et

Disks can be damaged or will eventually just wear out after extended use and may eventually become unreadable

Since the System Disk is crucial to the operation of the MV-30, make a backup copy or two. Use a copy for everyday use, and keep the original System Disk in a safe place.

* Please use a 2-DD type floppy disk (3.5 inch dual side doubte density double track microtype diskf such as a Roland MF2-DD.

Be awave that all data disk will be erased.

Basic Procedure

for

Greating a Song

The basic procedure for creating a song is as follows:

Turn on the power

and

start

up

the

system.

lf you are not

satisfied

with

the timbre, edit the

timbre

data.

Edit

the

song,

Save

the

song

to

disk.

lf you want to

save the timbre data, save

it to

disk as well.

Turn

the

power off

, x

"Editing" refers to the process by which you modify song or timbre data to achieve the desired result.

6.Record your own song

ess

E

There are two ways to record:

Realtime Recording

Realtime recording allows you

to

record your music just as you would with your performance a tape recorder is captured as you play. This

method has the following advantages: x lt is faster than entering notes one by one.

* Musically expressive dynamics and nuances are

* faithfully recorded.

lt is easy to enter continuous data such as pitch bender movements.

Steptime recording

Steptime (Step) recording allows you to create a song by entering notes one by one. This method has these advantages: x !t is possible to create a song even if you are not a x x skilled keyboard player.

Difficult phrases can be recorded accurately.

Greating mechanical-sounding rhyrthms is easy.

Regardless of the recording method you use, you must first select the song number you wish to record.

The MV-30 can hold up to 20 songs. lf you have already loaded a song, select an unused song number.
