Modifying Pitch (Pitch) - Roland XV-88 Owner's Manual

Chapter 5. Creating Patches

Modifying Pitch (PITCH)

You can set the WG pitch of each Tone.
PITCH
fig.05-60
Coarse (Coarse Tune)
Adjusts the pitch of the Tone's sound up or down in
semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).
The overall coarse tune of the Patch is set by the Coarse
parameter (PATCH/COMMON/PATCH OCT&TUNE)
(p. 70).
Fine (Fine Tune)
Adjusts the pitch of the Tone's sound up or down in 1-cent
steps (+/-50 cents).
One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
The overall fine tune of the Patch is set by the Fine
parameter (PATCH/COMMON/PATCH OCT&TUNE)
(p. 70).
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).
86
Keyfollow (Pitch Keyfollow)
Sets the amount of pitch change that will occur per octave on
the keyboard.
For a conventional keyboard pitch change of 1 octave when
keyboard position goes up 1 octave, set this parameter to
+100. For a 2 octave pitch changes when keyboard position
goes up 1 octave, set this parameter to +200. Negative (-)
values will lower pitch even as you go up the keyboard. If
you want the same pitch to sound regardless of what key is
pressed, set this parameter to 0.

PCH ENVELOPE (Pitch Envelope)
fig.05-62
fig.05-63
fig.05-64
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.
V-Sens (Pitch Envelope Velocity Sensitivity)
Keyboard playing dynamics can be used to control the depth
of the pitch envelope. If you want the pitch envelope to have
more effect for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a
positive (+) value. If you want the pitch envelope to have less
effect for strongly played notes, set this to a negative (-)
value.
