Roland Piano Modifying Pitch Pitch, Creating a Rhythm Set, Wave Level, Random Pitch Depth

Wave Level

You can set the volume of the waveform.

Value: 0–127

The volume level of each rhythm tone is set with the Tone Level parameter (RHYTHM/TVA); the volume levels of the entire rhythm set is set with the Rhythm Level parameter (RHYTHM/ TVA) (p. 82).

Velocity Control (Velocity Control Switch)

WMT Velocity Control determines whether a different rhythm tone is played (ON) or not (OFF) depending on the force with which the key is played (velocity).

When set to “RND,” the rhythm set’s constituent rhythm tones will sound randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages.

Value: OFF, ON, RND

Vel Fade Lower (Velocity Fade Width Lower)

This Determines what will happen to the tone’s level when the tone is played at a velocity lower than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you want notes played outside the specified key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this to “0.”

Value: 0–127

Vel Range Lower (Velocity Range Lower)

This sets the lowest velocity at which the waveform will sound. Make these settings when you want different waveforms to sound in response to notes played at different strengths.

Value: 1–UPPER

Vel Range Upper (Velocity Range Upper)

This sets the highest velocity at which the waveform will sound. Make these settings when you want different waveforms to sound in response to notes played at different strengths.

Value: LOWER–127

If you attempt to set the Lower velocity limit above the Upper, or the Upper below the Lower, the other value will automatically be adjusted to the same setting.

Vel Fade Upper (Velocity Fade Width Upper)

This determines what will happen to the tone’s level when the tone is played at a velocity greater than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you want notes played outside the specified key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this to “0.”

Value: 0–127

Creating a Rhythm Set

Modifying Pitch (Pitch)

Creating a Rhythm Set

For details on the setting, refer to “How to Make the Rhythm

Set Settings” (p. 69).

Pitch

Tone Coarse Tune (Rhythm Tone Coarse Tune)

Selects the pitch at which a rhythm tone sounds.

Value: C-1– G9

Set the coarse tuning for Waves comprising the rhythm tones with the Coarse Tune parameter (RHYTHM/WMT) (p. 78).

Tone Fine Tune (Rhythm Tone Fine Tune)

Adjusts the pitch of the rhythm tone’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).

Value: -50– +50

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

Set the fine tuning for Waves comprising the rhythm tones with the Fine Tune parameter (RHYTHM/WMT) (p. 78).

Random Pitch Depth

This specifies the width of random pitch deviation that will occur each time a key is pressed. If you do not want the pitch to change randomly, set this to “0.” These values are in units of cents (1/100th of a semitone).

Value: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200

Env Depth (Envelope Depth)

Adjusts the effect of the Pitch Envelope. Higher settings will cause the pitch envelope to produce greater change. Negative (-) settings will invert the shape of the envelope.

Value: -12– +12
