Roland DC-13 owner manual Contents, Panel Descriptions

•When connecting a guitar and synthesizer(s) to the DC-13, be sure that power to the synthesizer(s) is switched off.

•The 13-pin connectors used with the DC- 13 are locking style, and therefore cables cannot be disconnected unless the locking pin is released.

•Due to the unique design of the VG-88, a low level hum may be heard when the VG- 88 is used as Synth B. If this occurs, plug the VG-88 into the Synth A jack.

PANEL DESCRIPTIONS

1 . Guitar Input: Input for 24-pin style G- Series guitar cable.

2 . Synth A Connector: The synthesizer connected to this connector can be played when [A] has been selected with the [A/B] pedal switch on the top panel. Please note that Synth A is also used as the power source for the DC-13. Without a device connected to the Synth A connector, the DC-13 will not operate.

3 . Synth B Connector: The synthesizer connected to this connector can be played when [B] has been selected with the [A/B] pedal switch on the top panel.

4 . [A/B] Pedal Switch: This is the pedal switch that allows you to select which device is to be played, either Synth A or Synth B. If there is nothing connected to the Synth B connector, the DC-13 will still function as a BC-13 style 24 to 13 pin bus converter.

5 . [BOTH] Pedal Switch: When

switched ON, this pedal allows you to play

both of the synthesizers connected to

the DC-13.

6 . Guitar Line Output: This connector outputs the line-level guitar signal generated by the pickups inside the guitar. You can change the quality of this sound by using the pickup selector switch or the guitar’s tone control. This output does not respond to changes in volume using the guitar’s master volume knob. If
