A musician friend of mine

Diagram is NOT likely to help much. Look for bad soldering at the input and output jacks AND by the power input jacks. Also look for cracked circuit board and or lifted circuit etch. Lastly, the pots and the soldering around them may be part of the problem. Most of the mentioned things are 95% of the problem.

I have a Roland AC-90.

I would expect there is bad soldering or a circuit board crack. Inspect the soldering aound the leads, especially pots and heavy components. Finding all the retaining screws can be frustrating. Expect the screws for the handle to also attach to the amp chasis. They are often hiodden under plastic caps.

Hi I have acquired an old Roland HP330 digital piano. It has a hiss which rises and falls in intensity when turned on.

Have the electrolytic capacitors replaced.That may cure it.

Boss RC-3 does not power on

Most likely the device has been incorrectly powered. The most easy way to check this is the following:- unscrew the 4 screws on the RC-3 bottom - slide the board out from the connectors holes- gently detach all the connectors and wires coming to the board- locate the schottky diode (SS14) close to the power input connector- check if the diode is short- replace the diode if it is- if this does not solve the problem probably also the capacitors in the power section are shorted.Message me for further info

I have a Roland Kr-3500 that has a distortion sound after the note is played. Sounds like a reverb/distortion. The unit sounds fine when in DEMO mode and also using line IN sounds fine.

I know nothing about music, and I don't play piano, but I have played with these when they first came out. I was manager of a public hall and a shop brought a load of them for demonstration. It sounds like an Effects setting and I know that is one called 'Leslie', which if I remember correctly is the effect of a speaker spinning in a speaker enclosure.Here is your manualhttp://www.synthmanuals.com/manuals/roland/kr-3500/owners_manual/kr-3500_om.pdfService Manual and a link to Roland, to ask them direct.Roland KR-3500 Service Manual, Analog Alley Manualswww.analogalley.com > osccart > product_infoProduct: Roland Digital Intelligent Piano, model KR-3500.

Were is the main fuse on a roland ba-330

I have no idea. It is possible to download the user manual but it does not even include the word "fuse" in the entire document. US customer support for operations of these Japanese products is as follows: For operational assistance, you can contact Product Support department at (323) 890-3740. Product Support is open Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm Pacific Time. Phone support is provided for select Roland and BOSS products purchased in the U.S. only. But I do note this specifies operational support. The Roland site does offer a user manual but not a service manual.

How do i cannect my roland -09 to my PC then use FL studio or audacity with midi cables?

Do you mean the Roland E-09 or another Roland product? You need a MIDI to USB In/Out converter. Make sure that the converter is supported by the manufacturer with your OS version. One example is https://www.amazon.com/Converter-LiDiVi-Professional-Keyboard-Adapter/dp/B071KLC884 . This is a USB 2.0 device that works with Windows XP through Windows 10 and Mac OS X. A few others are reviewed here: https://www.musicrepo.com/best-selling-midi-interfaces-the-ultimate-top-10/ . You may need to be connected to the internet and allow your computer to obtain drivers for other devices. Connect the cable appropriately. Turn on the Roland device and make sure that your OS sees the USB device before launching your software. Note: Audacity can only import a MIDI file as a Note Track, https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Midi . You'll need additional software to capture the MIDI from the device. Some options are listed at the bottom of the Wiki page above. You may need to try several options to find a program that you like. The Roland E-09 manual is available here: https://www.roland.com/us/support/by_product/e-09/owners_manuals/ . Other Roland support is available here: https://www.roland.com/us/support/ . I hope this helps. I'm not familiar with FL Studio's menu. I haven't used Audacity's MIDI features. I use the software to digitize audio from Line In and microphone. Cindy Wells

My Roland Street cube amplifier has a bad speaker- where can I find a replacement speaker?

Rubber cement is an excellent for minor speaker cone damage but if you feel that a replacement is required, try MCM Electronics online. They carry lots-o-speaker replacements. Be sure to match wattage and impedance (ohms) of the speaker though as these are important spec's.
