Introducing the R-44
From the Main screen, press the [DISP] button twice to show the recording buffer capacity (BUF: buffer
gauge).
The recording buffer is memory that temporarily stores the input sound before it is written to the SD
memory card. The buffer gauge indicates how much of the recording buffer has been used. Normally, the
recording buffer never reaches capacity because input sound is immediately written to the SD memory
card. However, if the SD memory card processing capability decreases and writing data to the SD memory
card is delayed, then the data may accumulate to an excess and the buffer may overflow. (The SD memory
card processing capability may be affected if file arrangement on the card becomes irregular due to project
files being repeatedly written and deleted. If such a situation is encountered, you can restore the card to its
original processing capability by formatting it.)
* When the recording buffer is close to capacity, the “SD buffering” message is displayed.
* When the recording buffer reaches capacity, the buffer gauge moves all the way to the right edge and the “SD Card
Slow!” message is shown. Recording does not stop even if the “SD Slow” message is displayed, but some sound is
not recorded. This message will not disappear until a button is pressed.
* For important recordings, we recommend formatting the SD memory card before use.
* Some SD memory cards may have a slow writing speed, so that even immediately after they have been formatted,
recording at a high bit rate may cause a similar message to be displayed. When purchasing an SD memory card,
please check whether it has been verified to work correctly with the R-44 (p. 78).
Remaining buffer space

22
Introducing the R-44
On the R-44, the data that you record and play back are handled in units called projects. On the SD memory
card, each project actually consists of a folder with one or more files, as shown below.
If you connect the R-44 to your computer, you can see how these folders and files are organized. However,
if you change, delete, or rename the files within a project, the R-44 may be unable to play that project. Please
use caution.
In the system settings, the Recording Setup parameter Rec Mode (p. 69) lets you specify the type of project
you want to record.

Limitations on file size
The R-44 can handle files up to 2 GB in size. If the file size reaches 2 GB during recording, the file is closed.
Then, a new file is created and recording continues. When you finish recording, these files appear as
separate projects.
About BWF
In “5 System Setup” (p. 71), under system settings, you can set Project File to BWF so that the files
created during recording and editing will be BWF files. BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) files contain
information about the recording time and recording device (Roland R-44) in addition to the data of a
conventional WAV file. The file can be used by waveform editing software that supports BWF.
Caution when copying files from your computer
Be aware of the following when copying files from your computer to the R-44’s SD memory card.
• The R-44 can play only linear PCM WAV files at sampling frequencies of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, or 192 kHz and
bit depths of 16 or 24 bits. It cannot play any other type of file.
• File and folder names containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) are not displayed correctly.
• Any files other than WAV files cannot be recognized by the R-44 and will not be displayed.
• Files beginning with “.” (dot) will not be displayed.
• You must not copy files larger than 2 GB into the R-44’s SD memory card. Doing so will make the R-44’s
operation unstable, and in the worst case might even damage the files in the SD memory card.

to the position just before the display reverses.
5. Adjust the Input level knob [LEVEL] so that the Level
meter shown in the display reaches a point slightly
before C (clip level). If the recording level is too low,
quiet sounds will not be recorded. If the recording level
is too high, loud sounds will be distorted, producing a
crackling noise in the recording.
* When the channel name is blinking, clipping has occurred at
the sensitivity adjustment stage. In this case, clipping
occurs even if the Level meter does not reach the clip level.
* The Level meter displays the clip level (C) in values relative to 0 dBFS (FS = full scale).
For example, 12 indicates -12 dBFS.

Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings)
The R-44 provides five types of effects. You can apply an effect to the incoming sound as it is 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-44 is operating at 192 kHz.
Effect types provided on the R-44
If you apply an effect while recording, the volume and tone of the recorded sound will be different than the
original sound.
Before applying an effect aggressively during recording, you should monitor the sound through headphones
in recording standby mode to make sure that the sound is not clipped or distorted. We recommend that you
make a test recording.
For details on the settings, refer to “Applying Effects” (p. 58).
When effects are operating, the Effect button lights.
No. Effect name Effect Page
0 No Effect
No effects are applied.
Use this setting if you want to preserve the effect on/off setting of each
channel but do not want effects to be applied.
-
1 3-Band EQ This effect is a three-band equalizer. p. 60
2 Graphic EQ You can adjust the gain of six fixed-frequency bands. p. 60
3 Noise Gate
This effect minimizes the noise that might be heard in silent regions as well
as low-frequency noise.
p. 60
4 Enhancer
By adding a phase-shifted sound to the direct sound, this effect sharpens
the definition of the sound and pushes it toward the foreground.
p. 61
5 Comp&DeEsser
This effect 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.
The compressor evens out the level differences between loud and soft
sounds.
The de-esser reduces the unpleasant sibilance (exaggerated “s” sound) that
is sometimes present in a vocal.
p. 61
6 MS-Mic
This effect converts sound recorded on an MS (Mid-Side type) microphone
to stereo.
p. 61
What is an effect?
On the R-44, 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 undesirable noise.
What is clipping?
Applying an effect or boosting the level may increase the sound level (volume) beyond the maximum that
a device can handle; this occurrence is called clipping. Loud sounds may be accompanied by distortion or
crackly noises.
What is an MS mic?
An MS mic creates stereo sound by combining sound from a main microphone (unidirectional) that records
central sounds (mid-signal: M) and a bi-directional microphone that records lateral sounds (side signal: S).

58
Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings)
You can adjust the R-44’s effects not only while in standby for recording or playback, but also while you are
listening to the sound during actual playback or recording.
This section explains how to adjust the effect settings during playback or in recording standby mode.

Menu item Value Function
Input Select
Analog
This selects the type of input.
Choose this setting if you want to record analog input. Connect your
microphones or analog audio device to the Combo input jacks. With this setting,
any input from the internal mics or the Digital input jack is ignored.
Digital
Choose this setting if you want to record digital input. The signal from a digital
device connected to the Digital input jack is recorded. With this setting, any
input from the internal mics or the Combo input jacks is ignored.
The sampling frequency is specified by the Rec Freq. setting, and the bit depth
by the Rec Bit setting.
IntMic
Choose this setting if you want to record via the internal mics. Limiter and Low
cut are disabled, and SENS has three levels.
Dig + Ana
Choose this setting if you want to simultaneously record digital and analog
input. The signal from the digital device connected to the Digital input jack and
the signal from the microphones or analog audio device connected to the Combo
input jacks are recorded simultaneously. For these settings, the digital input is
on channels 1 and 2. Use channels 3 and 4 for the analog input.
Int + Ana
Choose this setting if you want to simultaneously record from the internal mics
and analog input. MIC-L is on channel 1, and MIC-R is on channel 2. Use
channels 3 and 4 for the analog input. Limiter and Low cut are disabled, and
SENS has three levels.
Rec Freq.
44.1 kHz,
48.0 kHz,
88.2 kHz,
96 kHz,
192 kHz
This sets the sampling frequency for recording.
Higher sampling frequencies allow higher-quality recording but produce larger
project files, meaning that there will be less available recording time on the SD
memory card.
The 44.1 kHz setting is sufficient when recording audio that falls within the
normally audible range. This frequency is also the most suitable if you are going
to load the recorded file into your computer to create a music CD.
You can use the higher frequency settings when recording audio that contains a
significant amount of high-frequency content from instruments such as cymbals
or when you want to capture the brightness and transparency of a natural
environment.
* When Rec Freq. is 192 kHz, only 2-channel recording is possible.
Rec Bit
16 bit,
24 bit
This sets the sample size (bit depth) for recording. A larger sample size allows
the sound to be captured in greater detail but produces a larger project file,
meaning that there will be less available recording time on the SD memory card.
Use the 16-bit setting for normal recording. This setting allows the broadest
compatibility when loading the recorded file into your computer for playback.
Use the 24-bit setting if you want to capture the tonal character and ambience in
greater detail, such as when recording an instrumental or vocal performance.
Depending on the PC environment, you may not be able to play project files
recorded in 24 bit.

This selects the structure of the project file that is
created during recording. A monaural WAV file
will be created for each channel. Choose these
settings if you are using a separate microphone
for the vocal and performance or for each speaker
in a conversation, so that a separate file is created
for each channel. These settings create monaural
WAV files. If Input Select is set to Analog, you
can create up to four monaural files. If Input
Select is set to IntMic or Digital, you can create up
to two monaural files.
* You cannot select MONO p69-x3 or MONO p69-x4 if
Input Select is set to IntMic or Digital.

Two channels are recorded as L and R to create a
stereo WAV file.
If Input Select is set to Analog, one stereo WAV
file with channel 1 as L and channel 2 as R is
created. The inputs to channels 3 and 4 are
ignored.
If Input Select is set to IntMic or Digital, one
stereo WAV file is created.
STEREOx2
Four-channel recording to
two stereo files
If Input Select is set to Analog, a stereo file with
channel 1 as L and channel 2 as R is created, and
another stereo file with channel 3 as L and
channel 4 as R is also created.
* When Input Select is set to either IntMic or
Digital or when Rec Freq. is set to 192 kHz,
STEREOx2 cannot be selected.

sec
You can specify the length of time that the sound is captured “retroactively,”
starting from before the moment you pressed the [REC] button. This setting
specifies the number of seconds that is captured retroactively.
* The maximum time depends on the sampling frequency, the sample size (bit
depth), and the mode setting.
* “Pre Recording (Maximum Time)” is approximate.
* The R-44 consumes power even during pre-recording. If you are running on batteries,
you should pay attention to the remaining battery charge.
Project Name
Date,
Name1–8
This specifies how names are assigned to the recorded project files. You can
select to base the name on the date and time or on the Project Name that you set.
If you choose Date, a project recorded at 3:45 and 12 seconds in the morning,
January 2, 2007, is given the name of “070102034512”.
If you use the Date setting, the name of the project indicates the time that it was
recorded; this is convenient when you have recorded a large number of projects
and are looking for a specific one.
If you choose Name, the project name is the name you set in “8 Project
Name” (p. 72) plus an ascending serial number. If you specify a clearly
identifiable project name, e.g., SCENE001, SCENE002, etc. the project files are
grouped together.
If you use the Name1–8 setting, the project name is the name you set in “8
Project Name” (p. 72) plus an ascending serial number. The serial number is
incremented automatically, e.g., Scene1_001–Scene1_999, up to 999.
The R-44 uses the number of the highest serial numbered project name in the
current folder as the start value for the serial number.

Troubleshooting
If you experience difficulties, read this section first. It contains tips on how to resolve various problems.
Cannot close the connection with the R-44
When using Windows and if Explorer or any other software referencing the SD memory card is open when
you attempt to close the USB connection between the R-44 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-44.
Close all software or windows that are referencing the SD memory card. Then execute “Safely Remove
Hardware” (p. 74) once again.
Cannot record
You cannot record correctly if the input level specified with the Input level knobs is too low. Please set
the input level correctly.
Refer to: “Adjusting the input levels” (p. 30)
When recording from connected microphones, make sure that the microphones are properly connected to
the XLR input connectors.
Also check the setting of the Phantom power switch.
Refer to: “Phantom Power Switches [PHANTOM POWER]” (p. 10)
You cannot record correctly if the Input Select system setting is wrong.
Refer to: “System Setup” (p. 62)
Recorded audio is distorted
The audio is distorted if the input level is too high. Refer to “Adjusting the input levels” (p. 30), and
use the Input level knobs to adjust the level appropriately.
In some cases, the sound may be distorted because an effect has been applied while recording. You should
adjust the input level with the effect applied. Adjust the effect parameters so that distortion does not
appear.
Problems with the Computer
Problems with Recording

78
Troubleshooting
Pan (stereo image) is not stored 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.
• Panning can be correctly recorded by linking the limiters of the channels being recorded in stereo
using the Limiter Link.
Refer to: “1 Recording Setup” (p. 68)
If 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.
Refer to: “Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings)” (p. 57)
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 the recording levels are set, the sound is distorted
when an effect is turned on
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: “Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings)” (p. 57)
• 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.
The SD Card Slow! message is shown
• Writing access to the SD memory card has slowed down.
As you repeatedly write and delete project files, the files on the SD memory card become fragmented,
and this slows down the processing speed.
If making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when finished
with them. Repeated deletion of smaller pieces of data causes the SD memory card to become
fragmented, possibly causing recording to fail.
• The write speed for the SD memory card is specified to be slow.
The write speed may be slow depending on the model number of the SD memory card.
The Roland website provides the most recent information regarding operation. Please use only SD
memory cards with model numbers for which operations have been confirmed.

79
Troubleshooting
No sound
•If the Monitor level knob is turned too far down, the volume may be too low for you to hear.
Gradually increase the Monitor level knob.
Refer to: “Monitor Level Knob [MONITOR (PUSH) SELECT]” (p. 13)
• If the output assignments are not set appropriately, sound is not output.
Refer to: “Output assignments” (p. 18)
• Make sure that your headphones or speakers are connected correctly.
No sound from the Internal speakers
• In the system settings for Speaker (p. 71), 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.
• When the sound is too loud, the protection circuit is activated and sounds stop. Turn the Monitor
level knob to the left to adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
Skips occur in the sound
As you repeatedly write and delete project files, the files on the SD memory card become fragmented, and
this slows down the processing speed. If you continue recording in this state, the message “SD Card Slow!”
is shown, and skips may occur in the recorded project.
If making important recordings, you should consistently delete all projects together when finished with
them. Repeated deletion of smaller pieces of data causes the SD memory card to become fragmented,
possibly causing recording to fail.
Problems with Playback

Troubleshooting
Power does not turn on
• Make sure that the AC adaptor is correctly connected.
If using batteries, make sure that each battery is securely in place and in the correct orientation. It is
also possible that the batteries have run down, so you should obtain a new set of batteries.
Refer to: “Connecting the AC Adaptor and Turning the Power On/Off” (p. 24)
“Installing Batteries and Turning on the Power” (p. 25)
• Make sure that the HOLD switch is turned off.
If power is turned on when the Hold switch is on, the display indicates “HOLD ON” and turns off
power.
Refer to: “Hold Switch [HOLD]” (p. 10)
Finder operation is sluggish
If a folder contains a large number of files, operations are sluggish when you open the Finder, and the
screen does not scroll easily.
Try moving projects in the folder to a different folder so that the folder contains fewer projects.
Display is dark
The Display Timer setting in Display Setup sets the display to go dark when the unit has not been operated
for a while.
Refer to: “4 Display Setup” (p. 71)
Settings disappear
If effect settings or system settings you made have reverted to their original state, it is possible that you
inadvertently reset the R-44 to its factory default settings.
Refer to: “Executing Factory Reset (Restoring Factory Default Settings)” (p. 67)
Effect parameters that you set have been initialized
Effect parameter values are stored as long as the effect type is not changed; they will return to the default
values if the effect type is changed. If you have made detailed settings, you should make a note of those
settings to use them again.
Refer to: “Setting the Color of Sound (Effects Settings)” (p. 57)
Cannot operate the panel
Make sure that the HOLD switch is turned off.
If the HOLD switch is on, the panel buttons and the [SCRUB/VALUE] dial are inoperable.
Refer to: “Hold Switch [HOLD]” (p. 10)
Project names and folder names in the Main screen or Finder are
garbled
The characters that are not “Available characters” are not displayed properly. In addition, RENAME may
not have been performed correctly.
Refer to: “Available characters” (p. 72)
Power turns off about 30 seconds after being turned on
The external power supply is depleted. Replace the external power supply with a new device or switch to
the AC adaptor. When using the AC adaptor, set the final voltage (Ext-Power) to Adaptor.
