Roland BR-864 owner manual Slow Attack, Speaker Simulator, Tremolo/Pan, 125

Insert Effect Parameter Functions

Slow Attack

This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like” sound).

*This effect can be used in the “COSM GTR AMP” algorithm when the MODULATION “Type” parameter is set to “SLOW ATCK.”

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the slow attack effect on/off.

RiseTme 10–2000 ms

This adjusts the time needed for the volume to reach its maximum from the moment you begin picking.

Level 0–100

Adjust the volume of the slow attack sound.

Speaker Simulator

This simulates the characteristics of various types of speakers. When the output of the BR-864 is connected directly to a mixer, etc., this can be used to create the sound of your favorite speakers system.

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the speaker simulator effect on/off.

Type

Selects the type of speaker that will be simulated.

*“On Mic” simulates the sound when a dynamic microphone is used, and “Off Mic” simulates the sound when a condenser microphone is used.

“VO+GT.AMP” algorithms

Mic Set CENTER, 1–10 cm

This simulates the microphone position. “CENTER” simulates the condition that the microphone is set in the middle of the speaker cone. “1–10 cm” means that the microphone is moved away from the center of the speaker cone.

Mic Level	0–100
Adjusts the volume of the microphone.
Dir Level	0–100
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.

Tremolo/Pan

Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume. Pan cyclically moves the stereo position between left and right (when stereo output is used).

*This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter is set to “TRM/PAN.”

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the tremolo/pan effect on/off.

Mode

Selects tremolo or pan; also selects how the effect is applied

TRM-TRI:

The volume will change cyclically. Smooth change will be produced.

TRM-SQR:

The volume will change cyclically. Abrupt change will be produced.

PAN-TRI:

The sound will be moved cyclically between left and right. Smooth change will be produced.

PAN-SQR:

The sound will be moved cyclically between left and right. Abrupt change will be produced.

*“PAN-TRI” and “PAN-SQR” are obtained with stereo recording (using two tracks).

Rate 0–100

Adjust the rate at which the effect will operate.

Depth 0–100

Adjusts the depth of the effect.
