(just to be complete)
most adaptors have + inside and - outside. Boss and Roland almost always use + on the outside and - on the inside (it's on the back of your synth in a little diagram), so switch the wires.
If it reads 9V 400mA, you can also use 9V 1000mA or something, you just can't use less as 400, but more is no problem and it's not going to damage your synth, as the synths only uses what it needs.
You can actually power a 400mA and a 600mA synth at the same time with one 1000mA power supply, this way you can make one power supply for all your synths (If they all use the same voltage).
