Roland R-70 Bad Outputs - Power Supply Problem?

Post by Hellhound » Sun Dec 14, 2008 1:35 pm

Alright, I have already made a thread about this but I was wondering if a power supply can affect the outputs on my R-70. I was looking at the R-70 manual and it says the power supply should have a current draw of 550ma. The power supply I am using now has a current draw of 300ma, could this affect the outputs in any way?

I don't have the schematics under the nose but one thing is law: innappropriate power adaptor WILL provoke bad ("unexpected") behaviors from your machine.

Please use the right V+ A and you should be alright.
