User manual ROLAND E-200 ANNEXE 529

[. . . ] r E-200/E-100 InteLLIGENT KEYBOARD Owner's Manual Thank you for choosing a Roland E-200/E-100 Intelligent Keyboard, a novel instrument with a superior Roland sound source, an intuitive user interface, a USB port, V-LINK compatibility and a host of other useful functions. To get the most out of the E-200/E-100 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this Owner's Manual thoroughly. To avoid confusion, let's agree to use the word "button" for all keys on the front panel, and use "key" only when referring to the E-200/E-100's keyboard. Before using this instrument, carefully read the "Important notes" (p. [. . . ] Press [+] or [­] repeatedly to transpose the keyboard up or down. NO YES TEMPO / DATA You can also directly enter the desired interval by pressing the corresponding numeric key. 30 E-200/E-100 10. Performance functions and effects Performance functions Keyboard Touch (velocity sensitivity) The E-200/E-100 is velocity sensitive, which means that the volume and brightness of the Main, Split and Dual notes depend on the force/speed with which you strike the keys. KEYBOARD TOUCH "1" is very low (usually inaudible), while "127" corresponds to maximum striking force (loud, bright notes). The value is only used when the KEY TOUCH icon is not displayed (otherwise, all notes use the velocity values that correspond to the force with which you strike the keys). (5) Press another "big" button in the DATA ENTRY section to leave this function. Note: Some sounds use "velocity switching". This means that by hitting the keys harder and softer, you alternate between two sounds. So only switch off this parameter if doing so makes you feel more comfortable. Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. Note: Keyboard Touch applies to all parts you can play yourself (the "Keyboard parts"): Main, Split, and Dual. Note: If necessary, you can change the Pitch Bend interval. See "PB Range° (Pitch Bend Range)" (p. Note: Modulation is not available when the MFX type= "Rotary". In that case, the modulation axis of the lever is used for switching between the fast and slow speeds. 00 KbdTouch All acoustic instruments (piano, violin, flute, drums, etc. ) are velocity sensitive. 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 E-200/E-100. ) If the E-200/E-100 is your first musical instrument ever, you may feel distracted by the volume and timbre variations of the notes you play. (1) If the KEY TOUCH icon is not displayed, press the [KEYBOARD¥TOUCH] button to activate the E-200/E-100's velocity sensitivity. (2) Press the button again to switch the KEYBOARD TOUCH function off, if you don't need it. (3) To set a fixed velocity value, press and hold the [KEYBOARD¥TOUCH] button until the "KbdTouch" message is displayed. (4) Use the numeric buttons and/or [NO/­]/[YES/+] to set the velocity value that should be used for all notes you play (1~127). Pitch Bend and Modulation The BENDER/MODULATION lever to the left of the keyboard can be used to add two kinds of effects to the Keyboard-part notes. You can even use these effects simultaneously if you like. (1) Press the lever towards the rear of the E-200/E-100 to add a vibrato effect ("wobble") to the notes you are playing. MODULATION Lowers the pitch Raises the pitch BENDER The Modulation axis can also be used for switching between the slow and fast Rotary speeds (if the "Rotary" effect is assigned to the MFX). (2) Turn the lever to the left to temporarily lower the pitch of the notes you are playing. Turn it to the right to raise the pitch of your notes. (3) In either case, you can release the lever if you no longer need the effect. 31 r E-200/E-100 Footswitch The E-200/E-100's FOOTSWITCH socket (rear panel) allows you to connect optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch.
