User manual ROLAND CE-1

[. . . ] They provide information concerning the proper operation of the EXR-7s. Be sure to keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without the written permission of Roland Europe S. The EXR-7s's sounds are based on full-length (uncompressed) waveforms, which is unique in this price range. [. . . ] The harder you play, the louder and brighter the resulting notes will be, which creates a perfectly natural effect. (That explains why the KEYBOARD TOUCH function is on when you power on the EXR-7s. ) If the EXR-7s is your first musical instrument ever, you may feel distracted by the volume and timbre variations of the notes you play. You could then switch off the EXR-7s's velocity sensitivity. If you do want to take advantage of this function but wish to change the EXR-7s's response, you can select another velocity curve. (2) To select a different velocity curve, press and hold the [KEYBOARD¥TOUCH] button until the "KbdTouch" message is displayed. Because stronger notes can be produced with less effort, this setting is ideal for children or inexperienced musicians. Because stronger notes can only be produced when played with greater than standard force, this setting provides a wider dynamic range. Press the [EXIT] or any other "big" button the DATA ENTRY section to leave this function. Press the [KEYBOARD¥TOUCH] button again to switch the KEYBOARD TOUCH function off, if you don't need it. In that case, the fixed velocity value ("110" if you don't change it) will be used. (1) Press one of the three D BEAM buttons (it must light). Let's first try out the DJ GEAR functions, so press [DJ¥GEAR]. (5) Move your hand towards and away from the D Beam's "eyes". What you hear now is the "VinylRPM" effect. (6) Press and hold the [DJ¥GEAR] button until the display shows the "VinylRPM" message. (9) Again move your hand towards and away from the D Beam. (10) Press the [DJ¥GEAR] button again (it goes dark) to switch the D BEAM function off. The D BEAM is off if none of the three buttons in the D BEAM pad lights. Now try out the [EFX÷ INSTRUMENTS] (sound effects, play notes using a given sound) and [CONTROLS] (change Arranger playback) buttons. The D Beam Controller has two sensors that detect motion (such as your hand or body movements) in front of it. These "sensed" positions are translated into MIDI messages that can be assigned to a variety of parameters. [. . . ] Here is how to deactivate the Demo function: (1) Switch off the EXR-7s. (2) Hold down the [DEMO] and [V-LINK] buttons while switching the EXR-7s back on again. the display briefly shows "DISABLED". This setting is remembered, so that next time you want to listen to a demo song, you have to repeat the above procedure. [. . . ]
