[ROLAND] [SPD-SX] – [WILL NOT POWER ON]

New to the forum!

Does anyone have a service manual for this sampling pad?

I can only find one on line for the SPD-S which has a conventional mechanical power switch on the rear of the unit (not a soft switch on the front panel) and the boards are slightly different.

Thanks in advance :innocent:

If your model isn’t listed: use models–tbd (e.g., models-korg-tbd) and post the exact model in the pinned “Request a new model tag” thread. We’ll add it and retag.

Hi, welcome.

It’s on https://www.manuals.altervista.org but might cost you.

Thanks a mill, sargfowler.

At least there’s a chance of getting hold of one, even if I have to pay.

Roland Instruments UK are unhelpful and won’t release the service manual, except to authorised service agents, despite a rep telling me on the phone that that would be no problem as it’s a legacy product :roll_eyes:
