Hello other Roland Va76 users,


I am very happy with my VA76.
It sounds great and i like the Variphrase.

But i have one problem.
After playing for a while my speakers start to give a droning noise.
It is very dominant.
When i move the Power cable at the back of the keyboard it sometimes reduces but most of the time gets worse. My dealer has send it to Roland for repair.
But i have the same problem again after a week.
Does anyone had the same problem?
And how has it been solved?
My PA system should not be the problem.

Please reply,

Gerard,
Does the noise come trough your PA speakers too? You should shut off the VA speakers and just listen to the signal through a PA to see if the problem is in the Roland speakers/amp or the internal sound engine.

UD knows the VA76 does not have speakers !!!!!

GvRoemburg. Connect headphones only to the VA and listen if you still get the problem.

Ooops! I was thinking VA7 - sorry....it's late and I'm cooking for the kids tomorrow ! My bad.

Make sure you don`t have any(unbalanced)audio cables near transformers, that will cause noise.

I got the same problem with my va76 but when i connect the headphones everything is ok. what is going on ?

Hello Claudiu,
Sorry for my English. It's not my native language.
I’ll try to describe this to you.

In my case the major problem was with the AC Socket.
You could move it. And by moving it the sound got worse/terrible.
It has been fixed by Roland.
I sometimes still have a little noise. The cables I use with my amplifier are connected with the plugs for the output 1 sockets. The connection between them gets corroded a little. This is the cause for that.

I hope I have been of help to you.

By the way, did you try the advices i got from the other members?

Hi - thank you for answering me...do i have to send it to roland..and they'll fix it ? I'll try to change the plug...maybe it's gonna get better..B.W. - Claudiu

I don't feel confortable by sending it to roland and i'd solve this by myself...
