Roland E-09 Performance Functions and Effects

Performance Functions and Effects

The force or speed with which you play the keyboard will vary the

volume or brightness of the main part, split part, and dual part.

All of the acoustic instrument sounds (e.g., piano, violin, drum) will

respond to your keyboard touch, allowing you to reproduce the

musically expressive range of that instrument. The sound will be

louder and more brilliant if you play strongly, and softer and more

muted if you play softly.

Press [KEYBOARD TOUCH] so it’s lit.

Keyboard touch is now turned on.

If you press [KEYBOARD TOUCH] once again so it goes out,

the keyboard touch will be fixed; i.e., the sound will no longer

vary in response to your keyboard playing touch.

Specifying a Fixed Keyboard Touch

Here’s how to specify the uniform strength each note will have if

[KEYBOARD TOUCH] is unlit.

Press [KEYBOARD TOUCH] until the screen indicates “KBD

Touch.”

[FUNCTION] lights.

Use TEMPO [ (-)][ (+)] to specify the “KBD Touch”

setting. (Range: 1–127)

A setting of “1” will be extremely faint (normally inaudible),

and a setting of “127” will be the maximum strength (very loud

and bright).

Press [FUNCTION] so it goes out.

Some of the internal tones switch between different sounds

depending on your keyboard playing strength. For such tones,

only one of these sounds will be heard if you specify a fixed

keyboard touch.

The keyboard touch setting can be saved in a user program. (p.

16)

You can use the BENDER/MODULATION lever located at the left

of the keyboard to apply two types of effect to the sound of the

keyboard part.

Pitch Bend

lowers the pitch you’re playing when you move the

lever to the left, or raises it when you move the lever to the

right.

Modulation

applies vibrato to the sound when you push the

lever away from yourself while playing.

If the MFX type is

ROTARY

, this will switch the speed of

rotation instead of applying the modulation effect.

If you push the lever away from yourself while moving it to left or

right, both effects will be applied.

You can specify the range of pitch bend that will occur. For

details, refer to “PB Range” (p. 22).

You must connect the foot switch while the E-09’s power is

switched off.

Connect a separately available foot switch (Roland DP series unit or

BOSS FS-5U) to the rear panel

FOOT SWITCH

jack. By pressing the

foot switch, you can sustain the sound even after taking your fingers

off the keyboard. You can also assign other functions to the foot

switch. For details, refer to “FSW (Foot Switch Assign)�� (p. 23).
