Thank you for choosing a Roland DisCover 5 Realtime Orchestrator, the perfect Standard MIDI File player for per-
forming musicians with a professional Vocal Harmonizer function. The DisCover 5 allows you to play back Standard
MIDI Files on SmartMedia™ card or floppy disk, and to change their orchestration in realtime, while you also have
the flexibility to jump to four locations within every song, which allows you, for instance, to repeat any part of a
song time and again.
The DisCover 5’s Vocal Harmonizer is equally flexible: it can add harmonies to your singing based on the chords used
by the songs you are playing back. You can also use it for gender transformations of your voice, for correcting not-
so-perfect singing, and for a number of professional effects.
To get the most out of the DisCover 5 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read
through this Owner’s Manual thoroughly.
To avoid confusion, let’s agree to use the word “button” for all keys on the front panel, and use “key” only when
referring to the DisCover 5’s keyboard.
To save space (and time), let us agree to use the word “song” when referring to Standard MIDI Files.
Before using this instrument, carefully read the sections entitled “Important Safety Instructions” and “Important
notes”. They provide important information concerning the proper operation of the DisCover 5. Be sure to keep this
manual in a safe place for future reference.
