Modifying Pitch Of A Rhythm Tone (Pitch) - Roland XV-88 Owner's Manual

Chapter 6. Creating Rhythm Sets
WMT TUNE (WMT Tune)
fig.06-17
Coarse (Coarse Tune)
Adjusts the pitch of the waveform's sound up or down in
semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
The Coarse Tune of the entire Rhythm Tone is set by the
Coarse parameter (RHYTHM/PITCH/PITCH) (p. 100).
Fine (Fine Tune)
Adjusts the pitch of the waveform's sound up or down in 1-
cent steps (+/-50 cents).
One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
The Fine Tune of the entire Rhythm Tone is set by the
Fine parameter (RHYTHM/PITCH/PITCH) (p. 100).
WMT FXM
(WMT Frequency Cross Modulation)
fig.06-17a
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified
waveform to apply frequency modulation to the currently
selected waveform, creating complex overtones. This can be
useful when creating wilder sounds or sound effects.
Switch (FXM Switch)
This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
Color (FXM Color)
Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation.
Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower
settings result in a more metallic sound.
Depth (FXM Depth)
Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.

Modifying Pitch of a Rhythm
Tone (PITCH)
You can set the Rhythm Tone pitch of each key.
PITCH
fig.06-18
Coarse (Coarse Tune)
Selects the pitch at which a Rhythm Tone sounds.
Set the coarse tuning for Waves comprising the Rhythm
Tones with the Coarse parameter (RHYTHM/WAVE/
WMT TUNE) (p. 100).
Fine (Fine Tune)
Adjusts the pitch of the Rhythm Tone's sound up or down in
1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).
One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
Set the fine tuning for Waves comprising the Rhythm
Tones with the Fine parameter (RHYTHM/WAVE/
WMT TUNE) (p. 100).
Random (Random Pitch Depth)
Specifies the width of random pitch deviation that will occur
each time a key is pressed. If you do not want the pitch to
change randomly, set this to 0. The setting is adjustable in
units of 1 cent (1/100th of a semitone).
PCH ENVELOPE (Pitch Envelope)
fig.06-19
fig.06-20
Here you can make pitch envelope settings (changes in pitch
over time).
Depth (Pitch Envelope Depth)
Adjusts the effect of the pitch envelope. Higher settings will
cause the pitch envelope to produce greater change.
Negative (-) settings will invert the shape of the envelope.
