kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or defor-
mation.
302
•
Repairs and Data
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long
hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause
for concern.
452
•
Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s
memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs.
Important data should always be backed up on a
CompactFrash, your computer, or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid
the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when
circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret
that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland
assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
303a
•
The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s
power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to
use batteries, please use the alkaline or nickel metal
hydride type.
304a
•
When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the
power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you

improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against
the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you
periodically save a backup copy of important data you
have stored in the unit’s memory on a CompactFrash or
your computer.
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 initi-
ating 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.
552
•
Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored on a hard disk, or a CompactFrash
once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
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.
553
•

Precautions Regarding Setup and Use
•
To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
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).
812
•
Certain hard disk setup procedures and usage conditions
may result in the corruption of recorded data, malfunc-
tioning, or physical damage to the disk, so be sure to
observe the following precautions.
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.
• Do not subject the hard disk to vibration or shock,
especially while the unit is in operation.
• Do not set up the unit in any location where it may be
affected by vibration from external sources, or on any
surface that is not stable and level.
• If the device includes a cooling fan, ensure that the fan
and the side panel air vents remain unobstructed.
• Do not leave the unit in any environment subject to
temperature extremes; for example, in a closed
automobile in summer or outdoors during winter.
• Do not use the unit in conditions of high temperature
and humidity or in any location subject to rapid
temperature changes.
• Do not unplug the power cord or switch off any circuit
breakers in the circuit to which the unit is connected
while the power is turned on.
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.
Before Using Cards
704
•
Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is
firmly in place.
fig.M512-Insert
Emergency Procedures
813
*
The following procedures are to be used as emergency mea-
sures only, and are not recommended for normal operation.
If the device fails to respond to operational commands or
does not complete operations, turn off the power. If the
power does not shut off following normal shutdown proce-
dures, disconnect the power plug.
•
CompactFlash™
If the unit does not operate normally when the power is
turned on again, it may mean that the hard disk has been
damaged. In such instances, consult your dealer or the
nearest Roland Service Center. Note, however, that it may
not be possible to recover any data from the hard disk once
it has been lost.
•
This unit’s memory card slot accepts CompactFlash
memory cards. Microdrive storage media are not
compatible.
Copyright
851
•
Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public
performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part,
of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public
performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third
party is prohibited by law.
Handling Hard Disks
811
•
Once a hard disk fails to function normally, all data that
has been stored on it could be destroyed.
852b
All hard disks eventually wear out. We recommend that
you consider the hard disk not as a permanent storage site,
but as a place to store data temporarily. We also
recommend that you back up important performance and
image data that cannot be recorded again onto the external
media that is supported by your device. For instructions on
how to make such backups, refer to the owner’s manual for
your device.
Note that Roland assumes no liability whatsoever,
including monetary compensation, for the loss of any
recorded content in the event of the malfunction of, or
physical damage to the hard disk, or for any direct or
incidental damages resulting from the loss of such data.
•
When exchanging audio signals through a digital
connection with an external instrument, this unit can
perform recording without being subjected to some of the
restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System
(SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for
musical production, and is designed not to be subject to
restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as
your own compositions) that do not infringe on the
copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits
second-generation and later copying through a digital
connection. It is built into MD recorders and other
consumer digital-audio equipment as a copyright-
protection feature.)
853
•
Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a
copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsi-
bility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of
third-party copyrights arising through your use of this
unit.

Grounding terminal
Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, 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. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely
harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) 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.

Limitations on file size
The R-4 can handle files up to 2 GB in size. If the file size reaches 2 GB during recording, the file will be
closed. Then, a new file will be created and recording will continue. When you finish recording, these files
will appear as separate projects.
About BWF
Each WAV file within a project is in BWF format. In addition to the conventional WAV data, the file
contains information about the recording time, recorder (EDIROL R-4), and marker data. Of course, these
files can be loaded into players or waveform editing software in the same way as conventional WAV files.
Caution when copying files from your computer
Please note the following cautions when copying files from your computer into the R-4’s internal hard disk.
•
The R-4 can only record linear PCM WAV files at sampling frequencies of 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz and bit
depths of 16 or 24 bits. It cannot play back any other type of file.
•
File names and folder names containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) will not be displayed
correctly.
•
•
•
Any files other than WAV files cannot be recognized by the R-4, and will be ignored.
Files beginning with “.” (dot) will be ignored.
You must not copy files larger than 2 GB into the R-4’s internal hard disk. Doing so will make the R-4’s
operation unstable, and in the worst case might even damage the files in the internal hard disk.

Effects setting
The R-4 provides five types of effects. You can apply an effect to the incoming sound as it’s being recorded,
or you can apply an effect to the playback. You can also change the effect settings for each channel.
* Effects are not available when the R-4 is operating at 96 kHz.

3-Band EQ
Graphic EQ
Three-band equalizer.
You can adjust the gain of six fixed-frequency bands.
This effect minimizes the noise that might be heard in silent regions, as
well as low-frequency noise.
By adding a phase-shifted sound to the direct sound, this effect sharpens
the definition of the sound and pushes it toward the foreground.

Noise Gate
Enhancer
This cuts the sibilance that can be obtrusive in a vocal, making the sound
smoother. It also reduces the difference between loud and soft sounds,
making the level more consistent.
5
Comp&DeEsser
A compressor evens out the level differences between loud and soft
sounds.
A de-esser reduces the unpleasant sibilance (exaggerated “s” sound) that
is sometimes present in a vocal.
original sound.
Before applying an effect aggressively during recording, it’s a good idea to monitor the sound through
headphones in recording-standby mode to make sure that the sound is not clipping or distorting. It’s also
a good idea to make a test recording beforehand with those settings.
For details on the procedure, refer to “Using effects” (p. 58).
What is an effect?
On the R-4, an “effect” is a process that digitally transforms the sound, giving it greater clarity or impact.
Effects can also make the sound more intelligible, or reduce undesired noise.
What is clipping?
Applying an effect or boosting the level may increase the audio level (volume) beyond the maximum that
a device can handle; this occurrence is called clipping. Clipping is occurring when you notice that loud
sounds are distorted or crackly.

ing to load the recorded file into your computer and create a music CD from it.
You can use the 48 kHz or 96 kHz settings when recording audio that contains
a significant amount of high-frequency content, from instruments such as cym-
bals, or when you want to capture the brightness and transparency of a natural
environment.
Rec Freq.
This selects the sample size (bit depth) for recording. A larger sample size allows
the sound to be captured in greater detail but will produce a larger project file,
meaning that there will be less available recording time on the hard disk.

You can’t execute CF Utility commands during recording or playback.
Command
Explanation
Formats the CompactFlash card. All projects and folders on the CompactFlash card will
be erased; afterwards, the card will be empty.
Format
* Be sure to back up your projects before you execute this command.
Checks the CompactFlash card, and after reorganization, frees up any space on the card
not used by R-4 projects.
* There is no guarantee that this command will restore the CompactFlash card to a nor-
mal operating state. Since this command directly affects the storage area of the Com-
pactFlash card, it is possible that projects may be affected. Be sure to back up your
projects before you execute this command.

Application guide
Before you record using the R-4, you’ll need to make a variety of settings so it’s set up in a way that’s
appropriate for your recording situation and purposes.
This section gives several actual examples of applications. For details on connections refer to “Recording”
(p. 27). Here we will explain the settings you’ll need to make on the R-4.

setting of four seconds will be sufficient. In compari-
son to allowing recording to continue, this method
will minimize the number of accesses to the internal
hard disk.
However, with any pre-recording setting other than
OFF, recording will always be occurring internally.

Recording audio while shooting video
Here are the basic settings for using the R-4 to record audio while you’re shooting video. If you’re recording
outdoors, the settings for “Recording birdsongs outdoors” (p. 76) can be used in this case as well, but
other settings specific to video will also be necessary.

cording a play or an instrumental performance,
you’ll probably want to set up one mic for each actor
or instrument. You can record up to four mics simul-
taneously.
If you’re going to shoot video with a video camera,
and later use a video editing system to bring in the
audio tracks recorded by the R-4, it’s a good idea to
record at 48 kHz.
If you’re capturing audio for use in a production in
which the video is the main element, 16-bit recording
provides sufficient quality.

other cases you will generally use the STEREO setting.
Rec Mode
Turn this OFF, since you’ll be synchronizing to the
video device.

Simultaneously recording at different input levels
These settings are useful when you cannot afford mistakes, such as when recording an event or other non-
repeatable occasion. Even if you’ve set the input levels appropriately, there may be cases in which an
unexpectedly loud sound causes clipping to occur; or conversely, in which the sound stays at an
unexpectedly low level.
In such cases, you can use two pairs of mics and channels, each set to differing input levels, and record them
simultaneously. Afterward, you can choose the best pair.

Troubleshooting
If you experience difficulties, read this section first. It contains tips on how to resolve various problems.
Computer-related problems
Can’t close the connection with the R-4
If you’re using Windows, and Explorer or any other software that is referencing the R-4’s hard disk is open
when you attempt to close the USB connection between the R-4 and your computer, the error message “An
error occurred while removing USB mass storage device – Unable to close device ‘unspecified volume’.
Please execute Stop Device again later.” will appear, and you will be unable to disconnect the R-4.
Close all software or windows that are referencing the R-4’s hard disk. Then execute “Safely remove hard
disk” once again.
CompactFlash card inserted in the R-4 is not visible from the computer
The CompactFlash card inserted in the R-4 will not be directly visible from the computer. This means that
you won’t be able to manipulate projects within the CompactFlash.
Can’t record
Please set the input level correctly.
Refer to: “Adjusting the input level” (p. 28)
Nor will you be able to record correctly if the input level select switch is set incorrectly. Please set the input
level switch correctly.
If you’re recording from a connected mic, make sure that the mic is correctly connected to the combo input
jack.
Also check the setting of the input level select switch and the phantom power switch.
Refer to: “Phantom power switches [PHANTOM POWER]” (p. 10)
“Input level select switches” (p. 16)
You also won’t be able to record correctly if the system setting Input Select is wrong.
Refer to: “System settings” (p. 60)
Strange sounds are heard during the recording
If you’ve recorded via the internal mics, you may hear metallic, mechanical clicks in the recording. These
sounds are the operating noises of the R-4’s internal hard disk. Due to how the R-4 is constructed, the hard
disk operating sounds may affect the recording.
You can alleviate this somewhat by using the Graphic EQ effect on the REC side to lower the 2 kHz and 4
kHz levels.
Recorded sound is distorted
The sound will be distorted if the input level is too high. Refer to “Adjusting the input level” (p. 28), and
use the input level knob to adjust the level appropriately.
In some cases, the sound may be distorted because you’ve applied an effect while recording. You should
adjust the input level with the effect applied. Adjust the effect parameters so that distortion does not
appear.

Troubleshooting
Pan (stereo image) is not recorded correctly
If the limiter is turned on, it will respond to the levels of each channel, meaning that when the level of a
sound located toward the right (or left) side increases, the limiter for that channel will limit the volume. If
you’re recording in stereo, the result will be that the left and right volume difference will diminish, causing
the pan (stereo image) to move toward the center.
The limiter cannot be applied to multiple channels as a group.
If you’re using the Comp&DeEsser effect with channel linking (LINK) set separately for CH1, CH2, CH3,
and CH4, and the compressor begins to operate on CH1 (left), this will eliminate the level difference with
CH2 (right), causing the pan (stereo image) to move toward the center.
In this case, set the LINK setting to CH1+2 or CH3+4 so that whenever compression starts being applied to
CH1 (left), it will be applied to CH2 (right) at the same time.
Also, the stereo image will not be recorded correctly if the input level knob settings differ significantly
between L and R, so that the levels are not balanced correctly.
Even though you’ve set the recording levels, the sound is distorted when you turn
on an effect
Since some effects work by emphasizing a portion of the sound, this may increase the volume of the overall
song, thereby causing clipping (distortion). You may take either of the following two actions.
•
Lower the level (LEV) values for each effect parameter
The overall volume will decrease, but the character of the effect will be maintained.
Refer to:“Effects setting” (p. 55)
•
Lower the input level to decrease the volume before applying the effect
This adjustment is easy to make, but may change the resulting character of the effect.
A message of HDD Slow! appears
Writing access to the hard disk has slowed down.
As you repeatedly write and delete project files, the files on the hard disk will become fragmented, and this
will slow down the processing speed.
If you are making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when you’re
finished with them. Repeated deletion of smaller pieces of data will cause the disk to become fragmented,
possibly causing recording to fail.

Troubleshooting
No sound
If the monitor level knob is turned too far down, the volume may be too low for you to hear. Gradually raise
the monitor level knob.
Refer to: “Monitor level knob [MONITOR]” (p. 13)
Make sure that your headphones or speakers are connected correctly.
No sound from the internal speakers
In the system settings for Speaker, make sure that Speaker Switch is ON. No sound is output from the
internal speakers if this setting is OFF.
No sound is output from the internal speakers if headphones are connected.
To prevent acoustic feedback, no sound is output from the internal speakers during recording or recording-
standby.
The CompactFlash card contains a file, but the R-4 won’t play it
The R-4 can’t directly play files from the CompactFlash card.
In order to play a file located on the CompactFlash card, use the Finder screen to copy the file onto the R-
4’s hard disk, and then play it.
Refer to: “Copying a project (Copy)” (p. 44)
A skip of several seconds occurs in the project playback
If the R-4 is subjected to vibration or impact, writing to the hard disk may not occur in time, meaning that
that portion of sound will not be recorded. When you listen to the recorded project, the time count during
playback will not skip, but there will be a skip of several seconds in the sound of the project.
During recording, please be careful that the R-4 is not subjected to impact.
The sound skips when you play back through the internal speakers
Vibration produced by the internal speakers may cause reading from the hard disk to fail, and this may
cause skips in the sound.
Try turning the monitor level knob toward the left to lower the volume of the internal speakers.
Alternatively, you can monitor through headphones.
Skips occur in the sound
As you repeatedly write and delete project files, the files on the hard disk will become fragmented, and this
will slow down the processing speed. If you continue recording in this state, a message of “HDD Slow!”
will appear, and skips may occur in the recorded project.
If you are making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when you’re
finished with them. Repeated deletion of smaller pieces of data will cause the disk to become fragmented,
possibly causing recording to fail.

Troubleshooting
Make sure that the AC adaptor is correctly connected.
If you’re using batteries, make sure that each battery is securely in place and in the correct orientation. It’s
Refer to: “Connecting the AC adaptor and turning the power on” (p. 24)
“Installing batteries and turning the power on” (p. 25)
Make sure that the HOLD switch is turned off. If it is on, the panel buttons and the scrub and shuttle dials
will be inoperable.
Refer to: “Hold switch [HOLD]” (p. 10)
Finder operation is sluggish
If a folder contains a large number of files, operation will be sluggish when you open the Finder, and the
screen will not scroll easily.
If there is a large number of files, operations in the Finder will take more time. Try moving projects in the
folder to a different folder so that the folder contains fewer projects.
Device connected to the L connector does not work correctly
The R-4’s L connector is only for reception. You cannot connect it to a controller that requires transmission
Backlight turns off
The Backlight setting in LCD Setup may be set to turn off the backlight when the unit has not been operated
for a while.
Settings you made have disappeared
If effect settings or system settings you made have reverted to their original state, it’s possible that you
inadvertently reset the R-4 to its factory-set condition.
Refer to: “Executing Factory Reset (Restoring the factory settings)” (p. 69)
Effect parameters you set have been initialized
Effect parameter values will be remembered as long as you don’t change the effect type; they will return to
the default values if you change the effect type. If you’ve made precise settings, it’s a good idea to make a
note of those settings if you want to use them again.
Can’t operate the panel
Make sure that the HOLD switch is turned off.
If this is on, the panel buttons and the scrub and shuttle dials will be inoperable.
Project names and folder names in the main switch or Finder are garbled
WAVE file or folder names that contain double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) are not displayed correctly.
In some cases, it will not be possible to Rename them successfully.
Refer to: “Available characters” (p. 63)
