(1) After selecting this page, press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to jump to the following page:
(2) Rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the User
memory that should contain your customized tun-
ing system.
(3) Press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob again to jump to the
following page.
(–64~0~63, Default setting: 0 for all notes) These
parameters allow you to stray away from the usual
semitone-interval scale (used in western music) by
changing the pitch of the notes to accommodate
other musical cultures.
Each note of the scale can be selected only once. That
is because the value you specify applies to all notes
of the same name. If you change the tuning of the
“C”, that value will be added to or subtracted from all
Cs (C1, C2, C3, etc.). Most of the time, you will proba-
bly select the value “50” or “–50”. Those values corre-
spond exactly to half a semitone up or down (i.e. a
quarter tone). Other settings may also be interesting,
though.
(4) Press the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select either the
note (left field) or the “TUNE” value (right field)
and change the entry rotating the
[DATA÷ENTER]
knob.
(5) Press the
[MENU÷WRITE]
button to save your set-
ting.
(Treble, Orchestra, Treb&Orch,
Bass&Chord, ALL, Default set-
ting: Treb&Orch)
This parameter allows you to
specify which section should
be affected by the tuning system you select on the
“1.3 Scale” page. It is perfectly possible to select a single
section (e.g. only the Treble accordion).
The parameters of the TRE-
BLE EDIT group apply to
the Treble section and are
saved to the selected Set.
They allow you to build
your own (virtual) accordion. After setting these param-
eters, you probably also need to adjust the BASS EDIT or
FREE BS EDIT parameters (which are also saved to the
Set). See pages 62 and 63 for how to select and adjust
the parameters.
Press
[UP]
and
[DOWN]
simultaneously to select the
value that is indicated as “Default setting”.
Introduction
While familiarizing yourself with and using the follow-
ing parameters, try to think of yourself as an accordion
manufacturer. Some parameters in this group indeed
rely on the power of Roland’s “virtual” technology
(called “PBM” or “Physical Behavior Modeling”) and are
in fact a warehouse with all kinds of accordion compo-
nents from which you can build your personal accordion
or to customize an existing “model”.
All changes you make here apply to the last Treble regis-
ter you selected. So be sure to press the register (
[1]
~
[14]
) whose settings you wish to change before selecting
and editing any of the TREBLE EDIT parameters. You can,
however, decide to save your settings to a different reg-
ister if you realize that you’ve been editing the wrong
one.
This parameter allows you to
do two things that are impos-
sible on an acoustic accordion:
you can (a) transform the
selected register into a differ-
ent instrument and (b) assign different sounds to each
footage the register plays.
Note:
Each “FOOT” can be assigned one TYPE (combinations
like “16= Bandoneon, 16= TexMex, 16= Organetto” are impos-
sible).
A register, as you may know, may contain several reeds
tuned to different pitches (“feet”), so that you hear the
16’, 8’ and 4’ reeds when you select it, for example. The
“Register” parameter below allows you to select the
desired footage(s). Here, you specify how each reed (that
can be assigned to a register) should sound. This allows
for complex combinations like the following:
