There are still many companies that employ dedicated PCB layout experts, especially in large-scale consumer electronics, automotive, military and aerospace. And PCB designers who really understand signal and power integrity are in demand. Why not consider learning some SI/PI or RF skills? You can even do this with free access to many professional tools like Ansys EM desktop that has a free student version. Just a thought.

I'm very glad this helped you.

how are you using any of the midi buttons on gr7? my only luck was just as an input lol. guitar rig 5 works though, but 7 doesnt have the stuff on it correct?

This is excellent feedback thanks. I had not tried with GR7 (haven't upgraded yet). I was so angry and disappointed that GR6 was LESS than GR5 (They took out the native Rig Kontrol support so it can only be used as interface and generic MIDI controller, which is a pain). Also because GR6 was a paid update and the only new things in it for existing users were things I had previously paid EXTRA for: Rammstein models, and Reflektor (for doing custom IRs). The parallel signal path options and visualization in GR7 does look interesting... but I got so mad at them I went out and bought an AxeFX-III Mk II and switched away from the laptop rig altogether... bummer since I had spent more than a decade with versions of Guitar Rig Pro and had built up a very good library of presets. (Also something that made me angry with GR6 was that the drag-n-drop setlist creation ability was removed... they offered a lame workaround but it's sooooo limited).

Unfortunately that requires a different transformer. The USA/Japan units are the ones that have a 100V/117V primary. For EU/AU you need the unit with the 220/240V transformer. You could possibly buy that as a spare part from your regional Roland service department, but given the age of the units it's not likely a stocked item anymore. You will most likely have to use a step-down transformer.

For some architectural reasons Snippets were never able to do it that way. This is an example of how one strength of a product can also be it's weakness in a different way. Components in Altium are actually identified by a GUID so that designators can be reset without breaking the link schematic-to-board, and being able to back-annotate. However, this meant that in a snippet, there was no easy way to prevent the user from duplicating components with GUIDs matching (that should never happen). However that might have been possible with some additional coding effort... and that additional effort always tends to give way to releasing new features instead of finishing existing ones (read the forums, you'll see a lot of users making that comment! ;-))

In that case either (a) those components have no footprints linked to them and/or (b) your project has errors preventing it from properly compiling and/or (c) the pages are not actually in the project. Check the messages panel and solve any errors top to bottom, and it will eventually work.

Before adding the device page to the project, I compiled the project, verified it, and corrected the errors in the message sections, transferred all the components to the pcb, even made the layout, but after using the device page, when I said transfer it to the pcb, only the components of the schematic of the sheet I used in the device page came. Could it be that I didn't give any permission or didn't follow any rules?@@benjaminjordan8128

It should. But the SRV/SDE-330 units are much newer - they might have switching power supplies and may even be universal (like your modern laptop adapter). One of these days I'll check them out.

Just examined the service notes. The service manual schematics and BOM indicate the Japan/US unit has a transformer for 100 and 117V just like the older units. Attach the blue tap for 117V or the white tap for 100V - so yes in short, this will work for the SDE/SRV-330 as well.

This is gamechanging information bruh, thank you for sharing!@@schematica

I just happen to already have a bunch of this stuff, but normally would get boards made from OSH Park etc. I used the FR1 because it's there and I wanted the boards immediately...

Excellent TIP! THANK YOU! Same principle applies in UI design. I believe InkScape can also be used for UI design much like Figma and other tools, that can export into code frameworks, but I've barely got that far with it yet...

It was printed on the side of the old ones that I replaced. If you look carefully these kinds of switches almost always have the manufacturer part number printed or embossed on them. I hope it helps!

SE50/70 are completely DIFFERENT inside. But yes it's the same problem. Given the small size of those units I'm not sure they used a transformer with a tap for 120V. The only way to know is open it up. If you keep using a 100V unit on 120V it will eventually burn out the transformer. To get them the size they did back then, before switching supplies were a thing, they designed the power transformers to be right on the edge of saturation at 60Hz. So it is working, but saturating slightly, which means excessive current in the windings, which means excessive heat and eventual demise.

@@schematica Doesn't the SE50/70 use a power adapter. 12 Volts if I recall? Correct me if I am wrong, but the problem of 100v/120v would not be an issue like what is explained in the video above.

@@botany500kojak LOL yeah I have two SE-70s from Japan, and it's irrelevant because the power bricks put out 12V AC. A lot of this stuff gets kinda hot. The SRV-3030 gets a lot hotter than the SE-70.

Glad it helped!

IF IT SUPPORTED multi-sheet reuse, I'd make the reuse block project with the subsheets. I have not had the opportunity yet to require a multisheet reuse block. BUT... how many times will you reuse this Zync FPGA? You already have one design and will reuse it for the next, but after that? Doing all the work to factorize the Zync and it's supporting parts into a reuse block will only make sense if you plan to use the same part over and over for many projects. Otherwise I fear you'll not recover the time invested into the activity. If you are planning to reuse it once, maybe twice, it will be more efficient to fork (copy) the existing design and strip out what's not needed for the next one. My 2c...
