Introduction

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under USING THE UNIT SAFELY on Page 45, please read and observe the following:

301 Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is

being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

302 The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long

hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

307 Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

351 Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment

containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

352a This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b Noise may be produced if wireless communications

devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

*** Observe the following when using the units CD-R/RW

drive. For further details, refer to Handling the CD-R/ RW Drive on Page 7.

- Install the unit on a solid, level surface.

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

354a Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b When moved from one location to another where the

temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

If you place the unit on a piano or an item of furniture, the rubber feet of this unit may discolor or damage the finish of the piano. To prevent the rubber feet from causing this type of problem, place a cloth under the unit.

401a 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 cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402 Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

552 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents

of data that was stored on a CompactFlash or CD-R/RW disc once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display. 556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the

connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.

558a To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units

volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

559a When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box

(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

562 Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using

some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.

- Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For infor- mation on cable specifications, contact the manufac- turer of the cable.

you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, microphones connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as guitars.

This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation.

If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the Information Page 94.

Unsuitable places for connection

- Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)

- Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

As its recording media, the CD-2 uses CompactFlash cards (CF cards) and CD-R/RW discs. The functions available for editing or deleting songs (tracks) after recording will differ according to the media you use.

The table below shows the functions that can be used with each type of media.

We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2 will play on all CD players. Depending on your CD players support for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may not play correctly.

Even if a disc bears an appropriate logo, recording or playback may not be possible depending on the state of the disc.

For details on how to handle CF cards and CD-R/RW discs, refer to the instructions that came with the media youre using.

We cannot guarantee that special discs not conforming to the music CD specification (e.g., copy-control CDs or copy-guard CDs) will play. When using the CD-2 to play a music CD, please carefully read any statements printed on the CD package.

MEMO About CD-R discs

Use CD-R discs that support 8x speed.

Example: 2-48x speed, 1-32x speed

About CD-RW discs

Use CD-RW discs that support 4x speed or 8x speed. (CD-RW discs that support ultra-speed or ultra-speed plus cannot be used.)

Example: multi-speed CD-RW discs: 1-4x speed, 4x speed

High-speed CD-RW discs: 4-10x speed, 4-12x speed

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

fig.CordHook.e

When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (MIC 1, MIC 2, GUITAR, LINE IN) may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors, such as those from the Roland PCS-series.

If you are using a Boss FS-5U, set the polarity switch of the FS-5Uas shown in the illustration.

This instrument is equipped with balanced (XLR/TRS) type jacks. Wiring diagrams for these jacks are shown below. Make connections after first checking the wiring diagrams of other equipment you intend to connect.

Howling could be produced depending on the location of mics relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:

1. Changing the orientation of the mic(s). 2. Relocating mic(s) at a greater distance from

speakers. 3. Lowering volume levels.

You must not connect a mic to both MIC jacks (XLR-type and phone-type) of the same number. Doing so will damage the mic and/or the CD-2.

If cables are plugged into both the MIC 1 (XLR-type or phone-type) and the GUITAR jack, the input from MIC 1 jack will be cancelled.

Recording to CF/CD

Recording on the CD-2

Broadly speaking, there are three methods of recording on the CD-2.

Recording with the CD-2s internal mics ( Page 30)

Recording from a Connected Mic or Instrument ( Page 31)

Layering a performance with the playback of a music CD or CF card (Overdubbing)

Layering a performance with a song from a music CD ( Page 32) For example, if you play back a karaoke CD and sing along, the karaoke accompaniment and your voice will be recorded together.

Layering a performance with a song recorded to a CF card ( Page 34) For example, lets suppose youve recorded a piano performance onto a CF card. Then, while playing back the recorded piano performance, you can sing along and record the piano performance and your vocal together. A new song containing the piano and vocal will be created on the CF card.

Minimum Recording Rime for One Track Each track on a music CD must be at least four seconds long. Since the CD-2 creates music CDs from the songs you record, it does not allow you to record a track that is less than four seconds long.

Pressing [Stop ( )] or [Pause ( )] will not stop recording if less than four seconds have passed since you began recording. Moreover, you cannot assign a track number ( Page 55) in such cases.

In Case Your Performance is Not Recordable Further recording is not possible once you have reached the maximum recordable time or the maximum number of songs that can be recorded.

If there is no more recordable time, the message CF Card Full or CD Disc Full will appear.

If the maximum number of tracks have already been recorded, the message of CF Track Full or CD Track Full will appear. This message goes away when you press [ENTER].

If youre using a CF card or a CD-RW disc, you can erase unwanted songs ( Page 58, 64) and then continue recording.

Recording Modes and Maximum Recording Times When using a CF card for recording, you can select one of three recording modes as appropriate for the desired recording time and audio quality ( Page 36). The following table shows the maximum recording times possible with each recording mode on various capacities of media.

The maximum times given above are approximate. The actual time may be slightly less depending on how tracks have been edited.

You can view the remaining time in the display. Page 75, Displaying the Remaining Time

Tracks using differing recording modes may be recorded on a single CF card.

Recording Time for One Track (One Song) The maximum length of one track is three hours.

If a recording exceeds three hours, a new track division will automatically be created.

The Number of Recording Tracks for One CF Card A maximum of 99 tracks can be recorded on one CF card.

Maximum Recording Times

The maximum times given above are approximate. The actual time may be slightly less depending on the number of tracks that are recorded.

You can view the remaining time in the display. Page 75, Displaying the Remaining Time

Types of Discs that You Can Record

Blank disc refers to an empty disc on which nothing has been recorded or stored.

The Number of Recording Tracks on One CD-R/RW Disc A maximum of 99/98 tracks can be recorded on one CD-R/RW disc respectively.

Recorded Songs When you record on a CD-R/RW disc, a blank space of two seconds will automatically be added at the end of each track (song).

Finalization ( Page 50) Finalization is a process that can be applied to a CD-R/ RW disc so that it will be playable by a conventional CD player. Once a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc has been finalized, it can be played back as a music CD in a CD player that supports CD-R or CD-RW playback.

No further songs can be recorded on a CD-R/RW disc that has been finalized.

If youre using a CD-RW disc, you can remove the finalization and add additional material. Page 65, Removing Finalization

Recording with the Internal Mics

Heres how to record a vocal or instrumental performance via the CD-2s internal mics (see the illustration below).

You can record to either a CF card or a CD-R/RW disc.

HINT You can check the amount of time that remains on the

media. Page 75, Displaying the Remaining Time

You can increase the amount of free space on a CF card or CD-RW by deleting unwanted tracks.

CF card Page 58, CD-RW disc Page 64

If youre recording to a CF card, you can select the recording mode thats appropriate for the content youre recording. Page 36, Choosing the CF Card Recording Mode

MEMO The sound from the internal mics will not be heard from

the internal speakers. Youll need to use headphones in order to audition the sound from the internal mics.

Since the CD-2 is equipped with highly-sensitive mics, undesired sounds such as the operating noise of the CD- R/RW drive* or the sound of buttons being pressed may be recorded inadvertently.

If you notice such problems, you can try lowering the input level of the internal mics. Page 37, Adjusting the Input Level: Internal Mic

* If youre recording to a CF card, no CD-R/RW drive operating noise will be recorded.

Depending on where the CD-2 is positioned in relation to the sound source, the recorded sound may not be evenly distributed between the left and right speakers. In such cases, you can adjust the left/right volume balance of the internal mics and record your performance again. Page 39, Adjusting the Left/Right Volume Balance of the Internal Mics

Creating a Music CD

What to do if a track is larger than the capacity of a CD-R/RW disc Even if a track is larger than can be written to a single CD-R/RW disc, it can automatically be divided across multiple CD-R/RW discs for writing.

If you want to automatically divide and write a large track, proceed as follows.

In Steps 45 on Page 46, specify the large track as the first track to be written. A track can be written across multiple discs only if the first track specified for writing is larger than can be written to a single CD-R/RW disc.

If you specify a large-size track, you will not be able to specify more than one track for writing.

After the first CD-R/RW disc has been ejected, the message Insert Disc will appear. Insert another CD-R/RW disc. When the disc is detected, writing will begin automatically.

Continue inserting additional CD-R/RW discs as directed by the messages that appear.

When all the data has been written, the message Write Completed. Another Disc? will appear. Continue with the procedure from Step 10 of Page 47.

CD-R/RW discs that have no more space on them after the track has been written will be finalized automatically. For example, if a track is divided across two discs, as in the example shown in the illustration at the upper right, the first CD-R/RW disc will be finalized automatically.

Turning [DATA] counterclockwise will cause the characters to appear in the opposite order.

* A blank space or a . (period) cannot be used as the first character of a title. If you try to do so, the CD-2 will delete the first character automatically and use the subsequent characters for the track title.

If you rename the file on your computer

The tracks are stored in the root directory of the CF card. The files with an extension of .WAV and .DAT are the track files.

The CD-2 uses the filename as the track name. You can change the title by renaming the file. This will change the order of the tracks on the CF card. Tracks you rename will move to a location following the last track.

NOTE You must not change the filename extension of

.WAV or .DAT.

We cannot guarantee that the CD-2 will operate correctly if you manipulate any directories or files with extensions other than .WAV or .DAT.

Dont use double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) or ~ (tilde) in the filename; the CD-2 is unable to recognize them.

The filename must be 250 characters or fewer (not including the filename extension).

More Functions

When recording an instrumental or vocal performance, you might start recording somewhat earlier than the actual beginning of the performance and stop recording somewhat later than the actual end, so as not to lose any of the performance. In such cases, there may be an unwanted silence at the beginning or end of the track. The CD-2 lets you trim such silences from the beginning or end of the track, so that the sound will begin the moment you start playing the track.

MEMO If the CF card does not have enough remaining free

space, you wont be able to execute the Trim In/Out operation.

If you want to trim silent regions from the beginning or end of a track, you must first specify the desired Start Point and End Point. The silent regions will be trimmed as shown below, according to the Start Point and End Point you specify.

Start Point: The location at which the sound begins.

End Point: The location at which the sound ends.

MEMO You cant specify Start Point and End Point locations that

would cause the edited song to be less than four seconds long.

You can back up all tracks (recorded data) from a CF card to a CD-R/RW disc.

Its a good idea to back up important tracks to a CD-R/RW disc as a precaution against accidental damage or loss of the CF card.

NOTE Roland Corporation will take no responsibility for any

loss of CF card tracks or recorded content that may result from failure of the backup operation, and will not be liable for any damages resulting from such loss.

Additionally, Roland Corporation does not make any guarantee regarding the backed-up data, regardless of the performance or the state of the CD-R/RW drive.

MEMO The backup operation applies to all tracks on the CF

card. You cant back up a single specific track.

You can use the following CD-R/RW discs for backup.

* Once youve used a CD-RW disc for backup, no further tracks can be added to the backup even if there is remaining space on that disc. All data contained on the CD-RW disc will be erased before the backup is performed.

In order to play or edit data that youve backed up to a CD-R/RW disc, youll need to restore the backup data to a CF card. Page 72, Recovering Backed-up Data

If the screen indicates Insert CD in Step 4 If the CF card contains more data than can fit on a single CD-R/RW disc, the backup will be performed across multiple CD-R/RW discs.

In Step 4, the first CD-R/RW disc will be ejected. Then, the message Insert CD will be displayed. Insert another CD-R/RW disc. When the disc is detected, writing will begin automatically.

As directed by the messages that appear, exchange CD-R/RW discs to proceed with the backup.

If the backup of a single track spans more than one CD-R/RW disc, you will be asked to insert the CD-R/ RW discs in the correct order when you execute the Recover operation ( Page 72).

We recommend that you label each CD-R/RW disc with the correct number to indicate the backup order.

If the screen indicates CD-RW Erase? in Step 4 If you are using a previously recorded CD-RW disc, the CD-RW Erase? message appears.

If you press [ENTER], the existing data will be erased from the CD-RW disc, and then the backup will begin.
