Message Cause Action

E01 A large number of MIDI messages were received all at

once, and processing could not be completed. Reduce the amount of data that is being transmitted.

E02 There is a problem with the MIDI cable connection. Check whether the MIDI cable is broken or disconnect-

ed.

E03 The checksum value of a received exclusive message is

incorrect. Correct the checksum value.

E04 The format of a received exclusive message is incorrect. Check the data that is being transmitted, and perform

the operation once again. Also check whether a MIDI

cable is disconnected or broken.

E05 It is possible that the contents of internal memory have

been damaged. Try performing the Factory Reset operation. If this does

not resolve the problem, contact a Roland service cen-

ter.

E12 The specified file does not exist on the memory card. Specify the file number of an existing file.

E13 The file has an incorrect data format, or has been dam-

aged. Specify a file of the correct data format.

E14 There is insufficient space on the memory card. Delete unneeded files to create free space on the mem-

ory card.

E15 The memory card is write-protected. Remove the write protect label.

E16 The memory card is not inserted. Insert the memory card correctly.

E17 The memory card is not formatted. Format the card on the MC-09.

The MC-09 does not support this memory card. Use a memory card that the MC-09 supports.

The memory card is damaged. Replace it with a correctly-functioning memory card.
