Roland V-Synth owner manual Pitch

Playback Mode (PCM Oscillator Playback Mode)

Specifies how the wave will be assigned to each key.

Value

RETRIGGER: The sample will play back from the beginning each time you play a key.

LEGATO: When you play legato, the playback point will be synchronized with the currently playing sound.

STEP: Each time you play a key, the sample will play back to the next event (p. 71) and then stop.

EVENT: The sample will be divided at each event and assigned to separate keys. Each time you press a key, the sample will play from the beginning of the corresponding event.

Loop (PCM Oscillator Loop Switch)

Specifies whether the wave will be played as a loop (ON) or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Robot Voice (PCM Oscillator Robot Voice Switch)

Specifies whether the pitch of the wave will be held steady (ON) or

not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Tempo Sync (PCM Oscillator Tempo Sync Switch)

Specifies whether the wave will be sounded in sync with the tempo

clock (ON) or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Pitch

Pitch (Oscillator Pitch) ★◆

Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator.

Value: -63– +63

Creating a Patch

Pitch KF (Oscillator Pitch Key Follow)

This specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when you play a key one octave higher (i.e., 12 keys upward on the keyboard). If you want the pitch to rise one octave as on a conventional keyboard, set this to “+100.” If you want the pitch to rise two octaves, set this to “+200.” Conversely, set this to a negative value if you want the pitch to fall. With a setting of “0,” all keys will produce the same pitch.

Value: -200– +200

Coarse (Oscillator Coarse Tune)

Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).

Value: -48– +48

Fine (Oscillator Fine Tune)

Adjusts the pitch of the oscillator up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).

Value: -50– +50

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

Random (Oscillator 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

Pit LFO Dp (Oscillator Pitch LFO Depth) ★◆

Specifies how deeply the LFO will affect pitch.

Value: -63– +63

In this screen you can make settings for the envelope that affects the pitch. For details on envelope settings, refer to “Making Envelope Settings” (p. 48).
