Roland VA-76 owner manual On the above display page, select the ADrums track, 175

VA-76 – Editing User Styles

If you select the ADrums track, the display looks slightly different:

That is because you can only assign Drum Sets to the ADrums track.

3.Select the division whose settings you wish to change, and possibly also all clones (see page 165).

4.Press the [MERGE] field in the bottom row. (Let us assume that your part already contains data.)

5.Select the new Tone (or Drum Set) to be assigned to the currently selected track and division by pressing the [Current Tone]/[Current Drum Set] field and using either the [TEMPO/DATA] dial or the BANK/ NUMBER buttons.

6.Press the [REC] field (see the circle in the above illustration) so that it is displayed in white. Depending on the selected track (ADrums or another one), this field is located in a different place. It does have the same function, though.

7.Press the [REC ●] field.

8.Press [START/STOP] to start recording.

9.Press [START/STOP] again after the first or second beat (but wait until the one-bar count-in is finished). This completes Tone selection. The new Tone address (Group, Bank, Number, Variation) automatically replaces the old one.

Though you can use different Tones for every division of a User Style, beware of too much “artistic license”. Using another Acc track for additional parts (if still available) will avoid a lot of confusion.

Drum Set Note & Pitch— After selecting the ADrums track, you can modify the pitch of certain sounds of the selected Drum Set. The eligible sounds and corre- sponding note numbers are:

C#2/37 Side Stick

D2/38 Stand.2 Snare 1

E2/40 Stand 2. Snare 2

F2/41 Low Tom 2

E3/52 Chinese Cymbal

G#3/56 Cowbell

A3/57 Crash Cymbal 2

F4/65 High Timbale

Note: The names of the drum/percussion sounds depend on the currently selected Drum Set. The sounds are usually similar in nature, however.

1.On the above display page, select the ADrums track.

2.Select the division whose settings you wish to change, and possibly also all clones (see page 165).

3.Press the [MERGE] field in the bottom row.

4.Press the [Drum Set Note] field and select the drum sound whose pitch you wish to change with the [TEMPO/DATA] dial.

5.Press the [Pitch] field and use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to set the desired pitch (–64~+63).

You can play on the keyboard to listen to the result.

6.Press the [REC] field below [Pitch].

7.Press the [REC ●] field.

8.Press [START/STOP] to start recording.

9.Press [START/STOP] again after the first or second beat (but wait until the one-bar count-in is finished). Expression, Panpot, Reverb, Chorus— Setting or modifying the Expression, Panpot, Reverb (Send), and Chorus (Send) parameters is similar to selecting another Tone for existing tracks.

a)Press the [Mixer] field on any User Style Com- poser page where the [Rec] field in the bottom row (left) is displayed in white.

The display now looks more or less as follows:

b)Select the track, the division, etc. whose settings you want to change. See “Tone/Drum Set selection” on page 174.
