Roland E4 Voice Tweaker: can't get signal in Logic Pro

I can't get it to work properly either - Logic only picks up a signal if the reverb on the E4 is turned on.

I'm not familiar with the E4, but it should be a straight forward hookup. You only need to use the USB cable to hook up to the Mac. The 5pin to 3.5 mm cable is only needed to connect a midi keyboard to the E4 for vocoder/autotune effects.

When the E4 is hooked up, plug your mic in to the E4. Make sure the E4 is set as the input in the Audio section of the general settings. Make sure the input for the audio track is the same as the E4, probably input 1.

Make sure the track that the E4 is using is selected. You should see the R turn red with grey surrounding it. Right next to it click on the "I" button. This is input monitoring. It allows you to hear what is hooked up to that track, likely with your headphones. You should now be able to hear/monitor the signal coming from the E4. As long as the "I" is orange, you can now select any other track and you'll still hear the signal from the E4. But when you do select another track the "R" is no longer red. So if you hit the record button, or type "R" that track won't record.

So make sure that track is highlighted. OR you can click on the "R" and it turns a flashing red. This will stay in the record enabled mode no matter which tracks you have selected. You can have more than one track enabled if you're recording many things at one time. Just click again to turn them off.

I hope this helps

Hey! Just wanted to check to see if you'd had any reply from Roland?

Also experiencing the same issue/no audio unless reverb is on.

Thanks!

It works!

Thank you so much for the reply, appreciate your help!

No problem, sorry you had no luck!

Turns out it works using USB C rather than a jack into an interface.

thanks!

YAY. glad it worked out for you.
