User manual ROLAND SH-5

[. . . ] If you already have basic knowledge of analog synthesizers, you can easily access the parameters that you want to adjust. Effects section for even broader sound-creating potential A powerful effects section is provided, containing five effects that can be used simultaneously: distortion, modulation, delay, reverb, and low boost (p. By combining these effects you can expand your sonic possibilities even farther. Simply pressing the LOW BOOST button will boost the low-frequency range--particularly effective for bass sounds. Compact, space-saving body The GAIA SH-5 newly features 37 keys, and a light-weight, compact body. 13), you can use it not only for practice at home or for live performance, but also for playing on the street. EXT IN jack lets you mix in your favorite music The EXT IN jack (p. [. . . ] 30) has selected (asymmetrical square wave), you can use this slider to specify the amount of LFO modulation applied to PW (pulse width). 31 [PW] slider If the [WAVE] button (p. 30) has selected (asymmetrical square wave), you can use this slider to specify the width of the upper portion of the square wave (the pulse width) as a percentage of the entire cycle. · Moving the slider downward will narrow the pulse, making it approach a square wave (pulse width = 50%). · Moving the slider upward will broaden the pulse, producing a more idiosyncratic sound. Adjusting the Brightness and Thickness (FILTER) PITCH ENV (Pitch envelope) On wind instruments such as a trumpet, the beginning of the note (i. e. , the moment at which the musician begins to blow) may be slightly different than the pitch at which the note stabilizes. The pitch envelope lets you create this type of timevarying pitch change. [A] (Attack time) slider This specifies the time from the moment you press the key until the pitch reaches its highest (or lowest) point. Moving the slider upward will lengthen this time, and moving it downward will shorten the time. [D] (Decay time) slider This specifies the time from the moment the pitch reaches its highest (or lowest) point until it returns to the pitch of the key you pressed. Moving the slider upward will lengthen this time, and moving it downward will shorten the time. [ENV DEPTH] (Envelope depth) slider This specifies how much the pitch envelope will affect the pitch. · If the slider is in the upward (+) half of its range, the pitch will initially rise and then return to the pitch of the key you pressed. PKG Turning the knob toward the right will move the boosted region toward the high-frequency range; turning it toward the left will move the boosted region toward the low-frequency range. * If "BYPASS" is selected as the filter mode, turning the [CUTOFF] knob will not affect the sound. Frequency BYPASS The sound will not be sent through the filter. The oscillator's sound will be output without change. 33 [RESONANCE] knob Resonance emphasizes the sound in the region of the filter cutoff frequency. Increasing the resonance setting will increase this emphasis, producing a distinctive sound that is characteristic of synthesizers. If you want to accentuate the resonance effect, it's a good idea to lower the cutoff slightly. LPF Level High Frequency Cutoff frequency [KEY FOLLOW] knob Here's how you can make the filter cutoff frequency to vary according to the key you play. · Turning the knob toward the right (maximum value is +100) will make the cutoff frequency rise as you play toward the right side of the keyboard, and fall as you play toward the left side of the keyboard. · Turning the knob toward the left (maximum value is -100) will make the cutoff frequency fall as you play toward the right side of the keyboard, and rise as you play toward the left side of the keyboard. · If the knob is in the center position (0), the cutoff frequency will not be affected by the notes you play. * If "BYPASS" is selected as the filter mode, changing this setting will not affect the sound. Cutoff frequency (octave) BPF HPF PKG Value Low +1 High +100 +50 · Turning the knob toward the right will emphasize the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, producing a more distinctive sound. · Turning the knob toward the left will remove the emphasis from the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, producing a milder sound. * If "BYPASS" is selected as the filter mode, turning the [RESONANCE] knob will not affect the sound. Value 0 0 -50 -1 C2 C3 C4 C5 -100 Low C6 Key NOTE In response to demands by pro sound designers for tonechanging capabilities, the GAIA SH-5 permits a wide variety of resonance settings.
