Roland 5 manual Modulation wheel assign, Aftertouch assign

Europa User Guide Configuration options and action functions

Modulation wheel assign (1)

Europa can assign incoming messages to any controller controlled slider or knob on the Jupiter 6’s front panel. This function assigns the modulation wheel input to a given slider or knob. Here is how to assign:

•Press and hold TAPE

•Press and release button 1 (modulation wheel assign)

•The TAPE light will blink

•Release the TAPE button

•Move any slider/knob desired. This will not alter the current patch or preset

•Press and release TAPE. The last slider/knob moved before TAPE is pressed again is where the modulation wheel will be assigned

To unassign:

•Press and hold TAPE

•Press and release button 1 (modulation wheel assign)

•The TAPE light will blink

•Don’t touch any sliders or knobs

•Press and release TAPE. This unassigns the modulation wheel from anything it is currently assigned to.

Pitch bend assign (2)

Identical to modulation wheel assign, but instead assigns incoming MIDI pitch bend messages to a controller controlled slider or knob. Follow the instructions in the Modulation wheel assign section above, but instead press button 2 as documented in Figure 6).

Pitch bend messages can vary in range from –8192 to 8191, which is far more resolution than any controller on the Jupiter 6 has. Europa scales pitch bend values –8192 through 0 to 0-63, and pitch bend values 0 through 8191 to 64-127. A centered pitch bend wheel will set a slider or knob to mid scale (64).

Aftertouch assign (3)

This assigns incoming MIDI channel aftertouch messages to a given slider/knob. Follow the instructions in the Modulation wheel assign section above to assign channel aftertouch, but instead press button 3 as documented in Figure 6).

Velocity assign (4)

This assigns note velocity to a given slider or knob. In addition to the MIDI note on turning on the appropriate note, it also sets the assigned slider/knob to the value of the note’s velocity on receipt of each note! As an example, assigning ENV-2 LEVEL to velocity will cause the ENV-2 LEVEL to be changed after every MIDI note ON received.

NOTE: The velocity assign will change the value of the controller for the entire voice board – not just the incoming note!

The instructions in the Modulation wheel assign (1) section above will assign note velocity, but instead press button 4 as documented in Figure 6).
