Synth A/B Edit Parameter
Tone
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Attack | The attack time of the envelope This is the time over which the sound reaches its maximum volume after you press the key. Larger values make the attack gentler, and smaller settings make the attack sharper. |
Decay | The decay time of the envelope This is the time over which the volume decreases from its maximum value. Larger settings of this value make the decay longer, and smaller settings make the decay shorter. |
Release | The release time of the envelope This is the time it takes after the key is released for a sound to become inaudible. Larger settings of this value make the sound linger, and smaller settings make the sound end more abruptly. |
Filter
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Cutoff | The cutoff frequency of the filter Increasing this value makes the sound brighter, and decreasing it makes the sound darker. |
Resonance | The filter resonance Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort. Increasing this value strengthens the character, and decreasing it weakens the character. |
MFX
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Type | The part MFX type The parameters to set for each effect change according to the effect type. |
The MFX for the Synth A/B part is the same as for the Total FX MFX. For details on the parameters for each type, refer to the “V-STAGE MFX Parameter List” (Roland website).
Level Pan
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
LEVEL | Synth part volume |
PAN | Synth part pan |
Rx Ch | MIDI channel on which data is received by the SYNTH part |
Part EQ
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Switch | Sets whether to use the part EQ (an equalizer applied to each part) (ON) or not (OFF). |
Input Gain | Amount of boost/cut for the input to the EQ |
Low Gain | Amount of low range boost/cut |
Low Freq | Center frequency of the low range |
Mid Gain | Amount of boost/cut for the mid range |
Mid Freq | Center frequency of the mid range |
Mid Q | Bandwidth of the mid-frequency range Higher values make the bandwidth narrower. |
High Gain | Amount of high range boost/cut |
High Freq | Center frequency of the high range |
Velocity
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Velocity Max | The maximum velocity value available when you play the keyboard When you lower this value, the volume does not increase too much even when you play the keyboard hard. This may have no effect, depending on the selected tone. |
Velocity Rng Low | Sets the lower/upper limits for the velocities at which tones play. Use this to make different tones sound when you play the keyboard at different strengths. |
Velocity Rng Up |
Pitch
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Transpose | Shifts the note numbers that are transmitted from the keyboard to the internal sound engine or external device. |
Fine Tune | Finely adjusts the pitch in units of one cent. |
Bend Range | Specifies the amount of pitch change in semitone units (maximum two octaves) that occurs when you move a controller such as a wheel, when pitch bend is assigned to that controller. Choose “TONE” if you want to use the setting specified by the tone. |
Porta Sw | Specifies whether portamento is applied. Select “ON” to apply portamento, or “OFF” if you don’t want to apply portamento. Choose “TONE” if you want to use the setting specified by the tone. |
Vibrato
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Vib Rate | The vibrato speed (rate at which the pitch is modulated) The pitch is modulated more rapidly for higher settings, and more slowly with lower settings. |
Vib Depth | The depth of the vibrato effect (the depth at which the pitch is modulated) The pitch is modulated more greatly for higher settings, and less with lower settings. |
Vib Delay | The time until vibrato (pitch modulation) starts to apply Higher settings produce a longer time before vibrato begins, while lower settings produce a shorter time. |
Mono/Poly
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Mono/Poly | Choose "MONO" if you want to play the SYNTH part monophonically, and choose “POLY” if you want to play polyphonically. |
Hold Type | STACK: Holds all sounds for which you’ve released the keys while the Hold pedal is depressed (when CC#64 is greater than or equal to 64). |
Bend Hold Notes | Set this to OFF if you don’t want the pitch bend to be applied to the sound that is being held by the Hold pedal or the like. |
Bend Mode | Sets what happens when you move a controller to which pitch bend is assigned, such as the [PITCH] wheel. NORMAL: This gives the normal pitch bend effect. TONE: Uses the Bend Mode setting that’s set for the tone. |
Control
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
After Touch | Sets whether to enable the aftertouch effect that’s set for the tone (ON), or not (OFF). |
Hold | Sets whether the hold pedal works on the part (ON) or does not (OFF). |
MIDI Rx Filter
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Rx PC | Sets whether program change messages are received (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Bank | Sets whether to receive Bank Select (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Bend | Sets whether pitch bend messages are received (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Poly Pres | Sets whether to receive polyphonic aftertouch (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Ch Pres | Sets whether to receive channel aftertouch (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Mod | Sets whether to receive modulation (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Volume | Sets whether to receive volume (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Pan | Sets whether to receive pan (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Exp | Sets whether to receive expression messages (ON) or not (OFF). |
Rx Hold-1 | Sets whether to receive hold 1 (ON) or not (OFF). |
Ext Out
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
MIDI Tx Port | Connector for output of MIDI messages sent by the Ext part of Synth A/B |
Tx Ch | Sets the channel for transmitting MIDI messages sent by the Ext part of Synth A/B. |
External MSB(CC#0) | Input the program number or bank select MSB/LSB as a number to make the external MIDI device switch between tones. The value you set is transmitted when you switch scenes. Messages are not transmitted when “---” is selected. |
External LSB(CC#32) | |
External PC |
Ext Lev/Pan
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
External Volume | Transmits volume, pan, and other MIDI messages to the external device. The value you set is transmitted when you switch scenes. Messages are not transmitted when “---” is selected. |
External Pan | |
External Chorus | |
External Reverb |
Ext Range
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Note Rng Low | Key range (range of notes on the keyboard) used for outputting note messages transmitted by the Ext part of Synth A/B Specify the lower and upper limits for the key ranges to set. |
Note Rng Up | |
Velocity Rng Low | Velocity lower limit (Lower) and upper limit (Upper) of the note messages transmitted by the Ext part of Synth A/B |
Velocity Rng Up |
Ext Offset
Transmits MIDI messages for switching tones to the external device. The value you set is transmitted when you switch scenes. Messages are not transmitted when “---” is selected.
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
External Cutoff | Adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency. Increasing this value makes the sound brighter, and decreasing it makes the sound darker. |
External Reso | Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort. Increasing this value strengthens the character, and decreasing it weakens the character. |
External Attack | This is the time over which the sound reaches its maximum volume after you press the key. Larger values make the attack gentler, and smaller settings make the attack sharper. |
External Decay | This is the time over which the volume decreases from its maximum value. Larger settings of this value make the decay longer, and smaller settings make the decay shorter. |

Ext Mon/Pol
Parameter | Explanation |
