Roland Piano Making Chorus Settings Chorus, Setting Procedure, Functions of Parameters

Adding Effects

•In patch/rhythm set mode, there are parameters that determine, for each tone/rhythm tone, whether or not Pitch Bend, Controller Number 11 (Expression) and Controller Number 64 (Hold 1) are received (p. 51). When these settings are “ON,” and the MIDI messages are received, then when any change is made in the settings of the desired parameter, the Pitch Bend, Expression, and Hold1 settings also change simultaneously. If you want to change the targeted parameters only, then set these to “OFF.”

•There are parameters that determine whether or not specific MIDI messages are received for each MIDI channel (p. 103, p. 119). When using the multi-effects control, confirm that any MIDI messages used for the multi-effects control will be received. If the Fantom is set up such that reception of MIDI messages is disabled, then the multi-effects control will not function.

Destination 1–4 (Multi-Effects Control Destination 1–4)

Sets the multi-effects parameters to be controlled with the multi- effects control. The multi-effects parameters available for control will depend on the multi-effects type. For details, refer to “Multi-Effects Parameters” (Sound/Parameter List).

Sens 1–4 (Multi-Effects Control Sensitivity 1–4)

Sets the amount of the multi-effects control’s effect that is applied. To make an increase in the currently selected value (to get higher values, move to the right, increase rates, and so on), select a positive value; to make a decrease in the currently selected value (to get lower values, move to the left, decrease rates, and so on), select a negative value. When both positive and negative are selected, the changes are greater as the value increases. To have no effect applied, select “0.”

Value: -63–+63

MFX Control Channel (Multi-Effects Control Channel)

This determines the channel that will be used for reception when using the Multi-effects Control to modify multi-effects parameters in real time, when the MFX Source parameter (p. 173) is set to “PRF” or “MLT.” Set this to “OFF” when the Multi-effects Control is not being used.

Value: 1–16, OFF

Making Chorus Settings (Chorus)

Here we will explain how to make chorus settings in Performance mode. The procedure is the same when making settings in Patch mode or Multitimbre mode.

The Performance Edit screen appears.

4.Press [1 (▲)] or [2 (▼)] to select the “Chorus” tab.

The chorus parameter setting screen appears.

5.Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the parameter you wish to modify.

6.Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to get the value you want.

7.Repeat steps 5–6 to make the chorus settings.

8.If you wish to save the changes you’ve made, press [6 (Write)] to perform the Save operation (p. 93). If you do not wish to save changes, press [EXIT] to return to the previous screen.
