Changing The Pitch (Pitch And Envelope) - Roland Groovebox MC-307 Reference Manual

WAVE: GAIN
This boosts the waveform. Raising this setting 6 dB will
double the gain. If you are using the booster to distort the
sound, setting this to the maximum value will be effective.
Range: -6, 0, +6, +12
If you would like to learn more about booster gain settings...
- refer to Booster (p. 100).
FXM parameters
FXM: SWITCH
FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specific
waveform to apply frequency modulation to the selected
waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for
creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.
When you wish to use FXM, turn this "ON."
Range: OFF, ON
FXM: COLOR
Select one of four types of frequency modulation for FXM to
apply.
As this value is increased, the sound will become rougher.
Lower values will produce a metallic sound.
Range: 1–4
FXM: DEPTH
Adjusts the depth of frequency modulation produced by
FXM.
As this value is increased, modulation will be applied more
deeply. As the value is decreased, modulation depth will
decrease.
Range: 1–16
Changing the Pitch
(PITCH and ENVELOPE)
In the PITCH and ENVELOPE, parameters concerning the
pitch are defined. The ENVELOPE includes parameters
concerning pitch changes relative to time.
Procedure
1. Press the [PTN] button.
2. Press [PART SELECT] then, Press one of the [1] to [7]
part buttons to select the part to be edited.
3. Press [F1 (PACH)] and [F1 (EDIT)] button, in that order.
The menu screen for patch editing appears.

4. Press the [CURSOR (up)] button, then press [F2 (PICH)]
button.
5. To edit parameters in the "PITCH:", press [F1 (PICH)]
button.
To edit parameters in the "P-ENV" (PITCH ENVELOPE),
press [F2 (PENV)] button.
One of the editing screens appears.
6. Press the[F3 (
)]/[F4 (
parameter to be edited.
7. Press the [CURSOR (right/left)] buttons to move the
cursor below the tone number (T-1 to T-4) for which you
want to define the parameter.
8. Specify a value using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/
DEC] buttons.
9. After the value is specified, press the [EXIT] button to
return to the previous screen.
Parameters that can be set
- PITCH: COARSE TUNE, FINE TUNE, RANDOM
PITCH, KEY FOLLOW
- P-ENV: ENV DEPTH, VELO SENS, VELO TIME1, 4,
TIME KEY FOLLOW, TIME1–4, LEVEL1–4
* See the following sections for descriptions of the setting ranges
and contents of the respective parameters.
PITCH parameters
PITCH: COARSE TUNE
Adjust the pitch of each tone in semitone steps.
Higher settings will raise the pitch. Lower settings will fall
the pitch.
Range: -48– +48 semitones
PITCH: FINE TUNE
You can adjust the pitch of each tone in 1-cent steps (1/100th
of a semitone).
The greater the value, the higher the pitch, and the smaller
value, the lower the pitch.
Range: -50– +50
