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. Since battery operation is supported (p. [. . . ] Because of this, raising the resonance level too much results in extremely high output levels in specific frequency ranges. Be careful to keep the volume settings down when creating sounds in order to prevent overloading audio playback equipment. FILTER ENV (Filter envelope) On instruments such as a piano, the beginning of each note has a bright sound, which gradually becomes darker (more mellow) as the note decays. The filter envelope lets you simulate this and many other kinds of time-varying changes in brightness. Key-off Cutoff frequency DEPTH Key-on Time 34 [A] (Attack time) slider This specifies the time from the moment you press the key until the cutoff frequency 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 when the cutoff frequency reaches its highest (or lowest) point, until it decays to the sustain level. Moving the slider upward will lengthen this time, and moving it downward will shorten the time. [S] (Sustain level) slider This specifies the cutoff frequency that will be maintained from when the decay time has elapsed until you release the key. Moving the slider upward will raise the cutoff frequency (or lower it if DEPTH is set to a "-" value). [R] (Release time) slider This specifies the time from when you release the key until the cutoff frequency reaches its minimum value. Moving the slider upward will lengthen the time, and moving it downward will shorten the time. [ENV DEPTH] (Envelope depth) slider This specifies the direction and depth to which the cutoff frequency will change. By using the LFO to modulate various aspects of the audio signal, you can apply effects such as vibrato or tremolo. · Applying the LFO to the pitch (OSC) will produce vibrato. · Applying the LFO to the cutoff (FILTER) will produce wah-wah. · Applying the LFO to the volume (AMP) will produce tremolo. · Applying the LFO to the PAN will produce auto panning effect. [SHAPE] button This selects the LFO waveform. The indicator of the selected waveform will light. Lit indicator Waveform Triangle wave Sine wave Sawtooth wave Square wave Sample and Hold (The LFO value will change once each cycle. ) RANDOM Random wave 36 [ TEMPO SYNC] button This button lets you specify the LFO speed as a note value relative to the arpeggio or phrase recorder tempo. If you press the [TEMPO SYNC] button so it's lit, and then turn the [RATE] knob, the LFO speed (cycle) will change in steps of note lengths "RATE" (p. If you press the [TEMPO SYNC] button once again to turn off its illumination, the [RATE] knob will return to its original operation. 23) blinks at quarter-note intervals to indicate the tempo of the arpeggio or phrase recorder. [AMP DEPTH] slider This allows the LFO to modulate the AMP LEVEL (volume), producing a tremolo effect. · Moving the slider upward ("+" settings) will deepen the modulation. · If the slider is in the center position (0), the amp level will not be modulated by the LFO.
