MFX/Chorus/Reverb Parameters
When Using 3D Effects
The following 3D effects utilize RSS (Roland Sound Space) technology to create a
spaciousness that cannot be produced by delay, reverb, chorus, etc.

52: 3D DELAY

29: 3D CHORUS

30: 3D FLANGER

31: 3D STEP FLANGER
When using these effects, we recommend that you place your speakers as follows.
Also, make sure that the speakers are at a sufficient distance from the walls on either
side.
30˚ 30˚
If the left and right speakers are too far apart, or if there is too much reverberation,
the full 3D effect may not appear. Each of these effects has an “Output Mode”
parameter. If the sound from the OUTPUT jacks is to be heard through speakers,
set this parameter to “SPEAKER.” If the sound is to be heard through headphones,
set it to “PHONES.” This will ensure that the optimal 3D effect will be heard. If this
parameter is not set correctly, the full 3D effect may not appear.

63: STEP PCH SHIFTER
The above types contain a sixteen-step sequencer. For these types, you can use a
MFX control to reset the sequence to play from the first step. To do this, set the MFX
control Destination to “Step Reset.”
For example if you are using the modulation lever to control the effect, you would
make the following settings.

With these settings, the sequence will play back from the first step whenever you
operate the modulation lever.

22: VK ROTARY
When performing sounds that use these effects, you can change the speed of the
rotary effect by moving the modulation lever away from yourself.
01: EQUALIZER
This is a four-band stereo equalizer (low, mid x 2, high).

This is a stereo spectrum. Spectrum is a type of filter which modifies the timbre by
boosting or cutting the level at specific frequencies.

03: ISOLATOR
This is an equalizer which cuts the volume greatly, allowing you to add a special
effect to the sound by cutting the volume in varying ranges.

Parameter

Explanation
Boost/Cut Low #
-60–+4[dB]
These boost and cut each of the High, Middle,
and Low frequency ranges.
At -60 dB, the sound becomes inaudible. 0 dB is
equivalent to the input level of the sound.
Boost/Cut Mid #
Boost/Cut High #
Anti Phase Low Sw
OFF, ON
Turns the Anti-Phase function on and off for the
Low frequency ranges.
When turned on, the counter-channel of stereo
sound is inverted and added to the signal.
Anti Phase Low Level
0–127
Adjusts the level settings for the Low frequency
ranges.
Adjusting this level for certain frequencies allows
you to lend emphasis to specific parts (This is
effective only for stereo source.).
Anti Phase Mid Sw
OFF, ON
Settings of the Anti-Phase function for the Middle
frequency ranges.
The parameters are the same as for the Low
frequency ranges.
Anti Phase Mid Level
0–127
Low Boost Sw
OFF, ON
Turns Low Booster on/off.
This emphasizes the bottom to create a heavy
bass sound.
Low Boost Level
0–127
Increasing this value gives you a heavier low end.

Depending on the Isolator and filter settings
this effect may be hard to distinguish.
