Roland FR-5, FR-7 owner manual Chorus Parameters, Chorus knob

Short Delay	This is a delay with a short Delay time.
ShortDly FB	This is a short delay with many repeats.

Note: Seeing that a delay effect usually only works for one part, we recommend using the dedicated Delay processor for echo effects. That way, the chorus effect can be used to widen the stereo image.

(2)Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the Chorus processor’s output volume (0~127). The important thing to remember here is that the overall chorus volume depends on three things: the Send level of the various sections, the output level of the Chorus processor and the setting of the

[CHORUS] knob.

If one of them is set to “0”, there will be no chorus. If the Send level of a section (the BASS section, for example) is set to “0”, only that section will have no chorus. Other sections (whose Send value is different from “0”), however, can still be processed by the Cho- rus effect. If the LEVEL parameter on this page is set to “0”, the Chorus processor is effectively off for all sections.

9.4Chorus Parameters

This page contains several parameters that need to be selected using the TYPE entry. Be sure to first select the parameter you want to change and then set its value.

(1)If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select a parameter.

■Pre-LPF (0~7)—A low-pass filter can be applied to the high-frequency range before the signals coming from the various sections are processed by the chorus. Higher values make the Send signals darker, resulting in a mellower cho- rus sound. Note that this parameter only applies to the sig- nals that are sent to the Chorus processor. It does not alter the sound of the active sections.

■Level (0~127)—This parameter sets the output volume of the Chorus processor. It is linked to its namesake on the “Chorus Macro Type” page. Higher values result in a more prominent Chorus effect.

■Feedback (0~127)—This parameter sets the level at which the Chorus sound is re-input (fed back) into the Chorus. By using Feedback, a denser Chorus sound can be created. Higher values result in a greater feedback level.

■Delay (0~127)—This parameter sets the delay of the Chorus effect. Higher values will cause greater deviation in pitch of the chorus sound.

■Rate (0~127)—This parameter sets the speed (fre- quency) at which the chorus sound is modulated. Higher values result in faster modulation.

■Depth (0~127)—This parameter sets the depth at which the chorus sound is modulated. Higher values result in a more pronounced modulation.

■Chr® Rev (0~127)—This parameter sets the amount of chorus sound that is sent to the Reverb processor. The value “127” effectively allows you to connect the Chorus

and Reverb effects in series (Chorus before Reverb). If you do not want the chorus signal to be processed by the Reverb effect, set this value to “0”.

■Chr®Dly (0~127)—This parameter sets the amount of chorus sound that is sent to the Delay processor. Higher values result in more sound being sent. The value “127” effectively allows you to connect the Chorus and Delay effects in series (Chorus before Delay). If you do not want the chorus signal to be processed by the Delay effect, set this value to “0”.

(2)Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “VALUE” parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to set the value (see the indications between brackets above).

If you change one of the above parameter values, an “(E)” appears next to the “TYPE” name to signal that you are no longer using the presets of the macro in question.

If you then select another TYPE, however, your changes are lost and replaced by the settings of the newly selected macro.

Note: Simultaneously press the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to recall the factory setting for the currently active parameter.
