Velocity Sens Offset - Roland Fantom XR Owner's Manual

Creating a Patch
Resonance Offset
Resonance Offset alters the resonance of the overall patch, while
preserving the relative differences between the resonance values set
for each tone in the Resonance parameter (p. 58).
Range: -63– +63
* Resonance: emphasizes the overtones in the region of the cutoff
frequency, adding character to the sound.
This value is added to the resonance value of a tone, so if the
resonance value of any tone is already set to "127" (maximum),
positive "+" settings here will not produce any change.
Attack Time Offset
Attack Time Offset alters the attack time of the overall patch, while
preserving the relative differences between the attack time values set
for each tone in the A-Env Time 1 parameters (p. 62), F-Env Time 1
parameters (p. 60).
Range: -63– +63
* Attack Time: The time it takes for a sound to reach maximum
volume after the key is pressed and sound begun.
This value is added to the attack time value of a tone, so if the
attack time value of any tone is already set to "127" (maximum),
positive "+" settings here will not produce any change.
Release Time Offset
Release Time Offset alters the release time of the overall patch, while
preserving the relative differences between the release time values
set for each tone in the A-Env Time 4 parameters (p. 62), F-Env Time
4 parameters (p. 60).
-63– +63
Range:
* Release Time: The time from when you take your finger off the key
until the sound disappears.
This value is added to the release time value of a tone, so if the
release time value of any tone is already set to "127"
(maximum), positive "+" settings here will not produce any
change.

Velocity Sens Offset

(Velocity Sensitivity Offset)
Velocity Sensitivity Offset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the
overall patch while preserving the relative differences between the
Velocity Sensitivity values set for each tone in the parameters below.
Cutoff V-Sens parameter (p. 59)
Level V-Sens parameter (p. 60)
-63– +63
Range:
* Velocity: Pressure with which the key is pressed.
This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a tone, so
if the velocity sensitivity value of any tone is already set to
"+63" (maximum), positive "+" settings here will not produce
any change.

Mono/Poly
Specifies whether the patch will play polyphonically (POLY) or
monophonically (MONO). The "MONO" setting is effective when
playing a solo instrument patch such as sax or flute.
Value
Only the last-played note will sound.
MONO:
POLY: Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.
Legato Switch
Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to
"MONO." This setting specifies whether the Legato Switch will be
used (ON) or not (OFF).
With the Legato Switch parameter "ON," pressing a key while continuing
to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to the pitch of the
most recently pressed key, sounding all the while. This creates a smooth
transition between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the
hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.
OFF, ON
Value:
Legato Retrigger (Legato Retrigger Switch)
The Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to
"MONO" and the Legato Switch parameter is set to "ON." The setting
determines whether sounds are replayed (ON) or not (OFF) when
performing legato. Normally you will leave this parameter "ON." When
"OFF," when one key is held down and another key is then pressed, only
the pitch changes, without the attack of the latter key being played. Set
this to "OFF" when performing wind and string phrases or when using
modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.
OFF, ON
Value:
Let's say you have the Legato Switch set to "ON," and the
Legato Retrigger set to "OFF." When you try to sound a legato
(by pressing a higher key while a lower key is held down), the
pitch may sometimes not be able to rise all the way to the
intended pitch (stopping instead at an intermediate pitch). This
can occur because the limit of pitch rise, as determined at the
wave level, has been exceeded. Additionally, if differing upper
pitch limits are used for the waves of a Patch that uses multiple
tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When making large
pitch changes, set the Legato Retrigger to "ON."
Portamento Switch
Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not
(OFF).
Value: OFF, ON
Portamento
Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from
the first-played key to the next-played key. By applying
portamento when the Mono/Poly parameter is "MONO," you
can simulate slide performance techniques on a violin or similar
instrument.
