Roland VA-76 owner manual Delay types & Parameters, Equalizer, 119

VA-76 – Effects and Equalizer

Rate (0~127)— This parameter sets the speed (fre- quency) at which the Chorus sound is modulated. Higher values result in faster modulation.

Depth (0~127)— This parameter sets the depth at which the Chorus sound is modulated. Higher values result in deeper modulation.

Cho® Reverb (0~127)— This parameter sets the amount of Chorus sound that will be sent to the Reverb. Higher values result in more sound being sent. The value “127” effectively allows you to connect the Chorus and Reverb effects in series (Chorus before Reverb). If you do not wish the Chorus signal to be processed by the Reverb effect, set this value to “0”.

Cho®Dly (0~127)— This parameter sets the amount of Chorus sound that will be sent to the Delay. Higher values result in more sound being sent. The value “127” effectively allows you to connect the Chorus and Delay effects in series (Chorus before Delay). If you do not wish the Chorus signal to be processed by the Delay effect, set this value to “0”.

Note: Press the [Default Value] field to recall the factory set- ting for the currently active (white) parameter. Press the [oBack] field if you want to select another Macro.

Delay types & Parameters

A Delay creates echoes. It is also possible to give depth and width to a sound by adding a short Delay to the original sound (a technique often used for rock-’n’- roll songs and in Karaoke bars). You can choose from among 10 types of Delay.

Delay 1~3	These are conventional Delays. 1, 2 and 3 have
	progressively longer Delay times.
Delay 4	This is a Delay with a rather short Delay time (a
	kind of “slap back” effect).
	The Delay sound moves between left and right.
Pan Dlay 1~3	This is effective when listening in stereo. 1, 2 and
	3 have progressively longer Delay times.
	This is a rather short Delay with the Delayed
Pan Dlay 4	sound moving between left and right. It is effec-
	tive when listening in stereo (kind of stereo “slap
	back” effect).
	Reverb is added to the Delay sound which moves
Dly To Rev	between left and right. It is effective when lis-
	tening in stereo.
	The Delay sound moves between left and right
PanRpeat	channels, but the pan position is different from
	the effects listed above. It is effective when lis-
	tening in stereo.

Pre-LPF (0~7)— A low-pass filter can be applied to the sound coming into the Delay to cut the high fre- quency range. Higher values will cut more of the high frequencies, resulting in a more mellow Delay sound.

Time C (0.1ms~1.0s)— The Delay effect of the VA-76 allows you to set three Delay times: center (C), left (L), and right (R). Time C sets the Delay time of the Delay located at the center.

TRatioL/R (4%~500%)— This parameter sets the delay time of the left- or right-channel Delay line as a percentage of the central Delay. The value “100%” means that the left or right Delay repeats at the same speed as the center Delay.

Level C/L/R (0~127)— These parameters set the vol- ume of the central, left, and right Delays. Higher val- ues result in a louder Delay.

Level (0~127)— This parameter sets the overall vol- ume of the three Delays (center, left and right). Higher values result in a louder overall Delay.

Feedback (–64~ 0 ~+63)— This parameter specifies the number of times the Delay will repeat. With a value of “0”, the Delay will not repeat. With higher val- ues there will be more repeats. With negative (–) val- ues, the center Delay will be fed back with inverted phase. Negative values are effective with short Delay times.

Dly®Rev (0~127)— This parameter sets the amount of Delay sound that is sent to the Reverb. Higher val- ues mean that the Reverb portion will be more promi- nent in the Delay signal. Be careful not to overdo this effect because it tends to blur the sound image.

Equalizer

This equalizer works the same way as the Treble and Bass knobs on an amplifier. It allows you to boost or cut the high and/or low frequencies of the Tones. By boost we mean that the volume of a certain frequency band is increased, while cut means that the volume is decreased. The Low and High frequencies to be boosted or cut are selectable.

1.Select a Mixer page (see page 112), press the [Effect] field, and the [Equalizer] field (left column).
