3.If the screen for the parameter you want to change for does not appear, use the [PAGE] buttons to scroll through the screens.
* While adjusting some parameters such as effect ???TYPE???, you may hear short click noise. This is not a malfunction.
You can call up and use any of a variety of grouped settings (Patches) suited to different uses and environments that are stored in memory. You can also save settings you have changed as patches. (???Patches??? (p. 14))
BYPASS
This has the same effect as setting the Effect ON/OFF parameter to OFF. (However, the setting for the ON/OFF parameter does not change.) The Dynamics settings have a number of switches, and they are all bypassed at one time.
Pressing the [BYPASS] button makes the button light up red, and in this state effects are bypassed. Press again to cancel.
Mic Modeling
This effect models the sound characteristics of certain types of expensive microphones. It works best when the input source you use matches the settings available in the processor. For example, the effect is optimized if you use an AKG C3000B or a Roland
Mic Modeling OFF/ON (MODEL)
This is the On/Off switch for the microphone modeling.
Reference Microphone (INPUT)
This table shows the optimum choices for the microphones or inputs to use when using the microphone modeling effect.
When you use modeling, specify the microphone used when making the recording or pick the choice closest to the microphone you used.
Effects Using
19
Using Effects
Modeling Microphone (OUTPUT)
This table shows the choices for different microphones or microphone types that the effect will model.
Proximity Effect (PROX FX)
A microphone???s bass response is enhanced when it is near the source of the sound. This is called the proximity effect. The Proximity Effect in the models can create this effect. You can set a value from
You can also use this to adjust the desired microphone proximity even when the microphone cannot be placed at the desired location.
Distance from the Sound Source (TIME)
This models the delay that occurs when the microphone is located some distance from the sound source. You set the distance you want to reproduce to a value from 0 cm to 3,000 cm.
Equalizer
This is a
This is called an equalizer because it is used to restore characteristics that have been modified by the processes of recording and transmission to characteristics equal to those of the original sound, but like other effects, it is also actively used to create new sounds.
Equalizer OFF/ON (EQ)
This is the On/Off switch for the equalizer. It is the same as using bypass.
Attenuator (ATT)
This uses digital processing to amplify or attenuate the signal input to the equalizer. You can set a value from
Reference Frequency (LOW,
This sets four points that serve as the frequency response curve???s peak and valley centers (center frequencies) or as the filter boundaries (cutoff frequencies). You can set a value from 20 Hz to 20,0k Hz.
20
Using Effects
Because you can make the settings anywhere within this range, it???s even possible, for instance, to set all four points so they???re stacked at the same location, and create a sharp filter.
* A frequency 3 dB lower than the flat portion of the response curve is taken to be the cutoff frequency.
Gain (GAIN)
This sets the amount by which the volume is to be increased/decreased. You can set a value within a range of ??15.0 dB for each reference frequency.
Q (Q)
This sets the sharpness for peaks and valleys. You can set a value within a range of 0.36 to 16 for each frequency band. When the filter type is ???LPF2??? or ???HPF2,??? making the Q larger makes the cutoff frequency band more prominent.
On an historical note, with analog peaking equalizers and the like, the sharpness of the peaks that occur in the response curve changes according to the performance of the coils in the resonance circuit. For this reason, the value Q (quality factor) is used to indicate coil performance.
Filter Type (TYPE)
This chooses the type of filter for each frequency band. The available filter parameters change according to which type of filter you choose to use. Unavailable parameters are indicated by ???no.???
Dynamics
This is a group of effects that dynamically control the amount of change in the output level based on the input level.
??? Compressor
This suppresses or lowers the output level of loud sounds to reduce changes in volume. Input signals that exceed the threshold are suppressed by an amount determined by the Ratio parameter.
Compressor OFF/ON (COMP)
This is the On/Off switch for the compressor effect.
Effects Using

Compressor Type (TYPE)
This chooses the type of compressor.
???SOLID???:Semiconductor compressor characteristics
???TUBE1???...???TUBE4???:
Key In Channel (KEY IN)
The compressor operates when the input level of the channel specified here exceeds the threshold. You can choose either channel 1 or channel 2. Normally, the same channel is specified, but a different channel may be specified for special uses. For example, when there is a microphone input and a background music input, setting the microphone channel as the
Threshold (THRESH)
When the input level exceeds this value, the output is lowered or suppressed according to the ratio. You can set a value from
Ratio (RATIO)
This is the ratio for suppressing sound that exceeds the threshold. You can set a value from 1.00 to infinity. When infinity is selected, the output level won???t get any louder even if the input level gets louder than the threshold. This is the same effect as using a limiter.
Knee (KNEE)
This setting determines whether the change in the relationship between the input level and the output level is abrupt or gradual when the input crosses the Threshold level.
???HARD???: Immediate change before and after the threshold
???SOFT???: Sloping change centering on the threshold
Attack Time (ATTACK)
This sets the time after the input signal exceeds the threshold until the compressor effect is completely applied. You can set a value from 0.0 ms to 800.0 ms.
Release Time (RELEAS)
This sets the time after the input signal falls below the threshold until the compressor effect disappears completely. You can set a value from 0 ms to 8,000 ms.
Compression Level (LEVEL)
This sets the output level after passing through the compressor. You can set a value from
Auto Gain
The dynamic range is reduced when sound passes through the compressor, but setting Auto Gain to
???ON??? boosts the overall output level so as to match the original overall input level.
Specifically, this assures that the output level is loud but not distorted by creating a margin (output level upper limit at 0 ms of attack) of 6 dB from the clipping level (0 dB) and then boosting the output level to this point.
When the attack is set to a long time, the start of the compressor effect is delayed, and so depending on the input signal the sound may be distorted. The Auto Gain has a margin of 6 dB to prevent spiking of the output level due to this delay in the compressor effect.

??? Expander
This lowers or suppresses, at a constant ratio,
Expander OFF/ON (EXP)
This is the On/Off switch for the expander effect.
Key In Channel (KEY IN)
The expander cuts off when the input level of the channel specified here exceeds the threshold. You can choose either channel 1 or channel 2. Normally the same channel is specified, but a different channel may be specified for special uses. For example, specifying a snare drum input as the
Threshold (THRESH)
Input smaller than this is suppressed according to the ratio. You can set a value from
Compression Ratio (RATIO)
This is the ratio for lowering or suppressing sound that does not reach the threshold. You can set a value from 1.00 to infinity. When you set the Ratio to Infinity, no sound is passed when the input sound doesn???t get over the Threshold level. This is the same effect as using a Gate.
Attack Time (ATTACK)
This sets the time after the input signal falls below the threshold until the expander effect is applied completely. You can set a value from 0.0ms to 800.0ms.
Release Time (RELEAS)
This sets the time after the input signal exceeds the threshold until the expander effect disappears completely. You can set a value from 0ms to 8000ms

??? Channel Linking
This interlinks the effect parameters for the two channels. You can use it with stereo recording or other applications. Input parameters are not linked.
Linking
Hold down the [EDIT CH SELECT] button for channel 1 and press the [EDIT CH SELECT] button for channel 2. Both [EDIT CH SELECT] buttons light up, showing that linking is in effect.
Canceling Linking
Press either one of the [EDIT CH SELECT] buttons to cancel the link. This makes only one button light up, and lets you edit individual channels in the usual way.
When linked, the effects for channel 2 use the parameter values for channel 1 (the reverse is not possible). Effect operations you perform while in this state are handled as settings for channel 1, and so the setting values for channel 2 remain unchanged in memory. When you cancel the link, the effects for channel 2 revert to the setting values they had before linking.
??? Copying Settings Between Channels
This copies the effect parameters to the other channel. You can use this at times such as when you want to edit sets of parameters separately after making the same settings. Input parameters are not copied.
Copied settings are overwritten. The original settings cannot be restored after copying.
What follows is the procedure for copying from channel 1 to channel 2. To copy in the opposite direction, follow the same procedure with the channel numbers reversed.
1. Press and hold the [EDIT CH SELECT] button for channel 2 for several seconds. The message ???COPY PARAM CH1 ??? CH2 OK???? is displayed.

<Ex.1> What is 5AH in decimal system? 5AH = 90 according to the above table.
<Ex.2>What in decimal system is 12034H in hexadecimal of every 7 bit? 12H = 18, 34H = 52 according to the above table. So 18 x 128 + 52 = 2356.
<Ex.3> What in decimal system is 0A 03 09 0D in nibble system? 0AH = 10, 03H = 3, 09H = 9, 0DH = 13 according to the table.
So ((10 x 16 + 3) x 16 + 9) x 16 + 13 = 41885.

???Example of system exclusive message and
Checksum calculation
On Roland system exclusive message (DT1), checksum is added at the end of transmitted data (in front of F7) to check the message is received correctly. Value of checksum is defined by address and data (or size) of the system exclusive message to be transmitted.
???Decimal and Hexadecimal table
(Hexadecimal number is shown with H.)
In MIDI documentation, data values and addresses/sizes of system exclusive messages etc. are expressed as hexadecimal values for each 7 bits.
The following table shows how these correspond to decimal numbers.
How to calculate checksum (Hexadecimal number is shown with H.)
Checksum is a value which lower 7 bit of the sum of address, size and checksum itself turns to be 0.
If the address of the system exclusive message to be transmitted is aa bb ccH and data or size is dd ee ffH,
aa + bb + cc + dd + ee + ff = sum sum / 128 = quotient and odd When odd is 0, 0 = checksum
When odd is other than 0, 128 - odd = checksum
*Decimal values such as MIDI channel, bank select, and program change are listed as one (1) greater than the values given in the above table.
