Roland Piano owner manual Creating a Patch, Bias Position, Bias Direction, Patch Pan, Tone Pan

Bias Position

Specifies the key relative to which the volume will be modified. Value: C-1–G9

Bias Direction

Selects the direction in which change will occur starting from the Bias Position.

Value

LOWER: The volume will be modified for the keyboard area below the Bias Point.

UPPER: The volume will be modified for the keyboard area above the Bias Point.

LO&UP: The volume will be modified symmetrically toward the left and right of the Bias Point.

ALL: The volume changes linearly with the bias point at the center.

The bias settings appearing at the lower part of the TVA settings screen graphically depict the current values of the settings. Solid lines represent the bias settings, while dotted lines are used for the TVF cutoff frequency key follow setting. This lets you compare the TVA bias settings and the TVF cutoff frequency key follow setting while you make settings.

Level V-Curve (TVA Level Velocity Curve)

You can select from seven curves that determine how keyboard playing strength will affect the volume. If you do not want the volume of the tone to be affected by the force with which you play the key, set this to “FIXED.”

Value: FIXED, 1–7

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Level V-Sens (TVA Level Velocity Sensitivity)

Set this when you want the volume of the tone to change depending on the force with which you press the keys. Set this to a positive (+) value to have the changes in tone volume increase the more forcefully the keys are played; to make the tone play more softly as you play harder, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63– +63

If you wish to make adjustments to the entire patch while maintaining the relative values of TVA Level Velocity Sensitivity among tones, adjust the Velocity Sens Offset parameter (PATCH/General) (p. 48). However, this setting is shared by the Cutoff V-Sens parameter (PATCH/TVF) (p. 63).

Patch Pan

Specifies the pan of the patch. “L64” is far left, “0” is center, and “63R” is far right.

Value: L64–0–63R

Creating a Patch

Tone Pan ★

Sets the pan of the tone. “L64” is far left, “0” is center, and “63R” is

far right.	Patch
Value: L64–0–63R
Pan KF (Pan Key Follow)	a
Use this parameter if you want key position to affect panning.
	Creating
Positive (+) settings will cause notes higher than C4 key (center C) to
be panned increasingly further toward the right, and negative (-)
settings will cause notes higher than C4 key (center C) to be panned
toward the left. Larger settings will produce greater change.
Value: -100– +100

						+50
o						0

Rnd Pan Depth (Random Pan Depth)

Use this parameter when you want the stereo location to change randomly each time you press a key. Higher settings will produce a greater amount of change.

Value: 0–63

Alter Pan Depth (Alternate Pan Depth)

This setting causes panning to be alternated between left and right each time a key is pressed. Higher settings will produce a greater amount of change. “L” or “R” settings will reverse the order in which the pan will alternate between left and right. For example if two tones are set to “L” and “R” respectively, the panning of the two tones will alternate each time they are played.

Value: L63–0–63R

When any value from Type “2”–”10” is selected for the Structure parameter (PATCH/TMT) in the Pan KF, Rnd Pan Depth, Alter Pan Depth parameter settings, the output of tones 1 and 2 are joined in tone 2, and the output of tones 3 and 4 are joined in tone 4. For this reason, tone 1 will follow the settings of tone 2, and tone 3 will follow the settings of tone 4 (p. 56).

Env T1 V-Sens (TVA Envelope Time 1 Velocity Sensitivity)

This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the Time 1 of the TVA envelope. If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63– +63
