The compact and simply designed body may be effectively used for computer music.
The CM-32L's sound module is almost the same as the Multi Timbral Sound Module MT-32 and
therefore can use the application software of the MT-32.
G9 The CM-32L adopts LA sound system that results in high quality sounds
LA synthesis involves a great many technological advances resulting not only in a superior sound
quality but also an improved ease of programming which have been proved in the D-50 or D-20.
G9 The CM-32L can produce a maximum of 32 voices using 32 Partials
Because the CM-32L can produce as many as 32 voices at the same time, you can enjoy high level
ensemble performance.
G Rhythm Part is provided specifically for rhythm performance
'The Rhythm Part features various drum and percussive voices, allowing you to enjoy wide varieties
of rhythm performances. It also includes SE's (sound effects) such as a laughing voice or explosion
for you to create unique performance.

Ш Important Notes
«Concerning the power supply»
Ф When employing an AC adaptor, make certain you use only one that has been supplied by the
manufacturer. Use of any other power adaptor could result in malfunction or damage.
Ф When you make any connections with other devices, always turn off the power to all equipment first.
This will help in preventing malfunction, and damage to speakers.
Q Do not force the unit to share the same power outlet as one used for distortion producing devices
(such as motors, variable lighting devices). Be sure to use a separate power outlet.
© Before using the AC adaptor, always make certain the voltage of the available power supply
conforms to its rating.
Q Do not place heavy objects onto, step on, or otherwise risk causing damage to the power cord.
Q Whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet, always grasp it by plug, to prevent internal
damage to the cord and hazard of possible short circuits.
ФІ: the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, unplug the cord from the socket.
«Concerning placement»
Ф Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places, as damage could result.
OPlaces subject to extremes in temperature. (Such as under direct sunlight, near heating units,
above equipment generating heat, etc.)
OPlaces near water and moisture. (Baths, washrooms, wet floors, etc.) Places otherwise subject to
high humidity.
©Dusty environments.
OPlaces where high levels of vibration are produced.
Ф Placing the unit near power amplifiers or other equipment containing large transformers may
induce hum.
Q Should the unit be operated nearby television or radio receivers, TV pictures may show signs of
interference, and static might be heard on radios. In such cases, move the unit out of proximity with
such devices.

«Maintenance»
Q For everyday cleaning, wipe the unit with a soft dry cloth, or one that is dampened slightly. To
remove dirt that is more stubborn, wipe using a mild, neutral detergent. Afterwards, make sure to
wipe thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Ф Never apply benzene, thinners, alcohol or any like agents, to avoid the risk of discoloration and
deformation.
(Other Precautions>
Q Protect the unit from strong impact.
Ф Avoid getting any foreign objects (coins, wire, etc.), or liquids (water,drinks, etc.) into the unit.
ФА certain small amount of heat will be radiated from the unit, and thus should not be considered
abnormal.
@ Before using the unit in a foreign country, check first with your local Roland Service Station.
Фл: any time that you notice a malfunction, or otherwise suspect there is damage, immediately refrain
from using the unit. Then contact the store where bought, or the nearest Roland Service Station.
G Since the unit is equipped with a circuit, protection device, it requires a brief interval after power is
turned on before it can be operated.
