Pre-Effect Settings - Roland V-Synth Owner's Manual

Input Source
Select the input from which the sound will be sampled.
Value
ANALOG: INPUT jacks
OPTICAL: OPTICAL IN connector
COAXIAL: COAXIAL IN connector
RESAMPL: Select this when you wish to resample. The sound that is
output to MAIN OUT L(MONO) and R will be sampled.
Trigger Mode
Specifies how sampling will be started.
Value
MANUAL: Sampling will begin when you touch <START>.
MIDI: Sampling will begin when an external sequencer start message
(system realtime message: FA) is received.
LEVEL: Sampling will start when the input signal exceeds the level
specified by the Trigger Level setting.
NOTE: Sampling will begin when you play the keyboard or note
message is received.
Trigger Level
Specifies the input level at which sampling will begin when the
Trigger Mode is set to "LEVEL." The trigger level is shown by the
" " and " " in the level meter located at the right of the screen.
Value: -∞–00 dB
If Trigger Mode is set to other than "LEVEL," this parameter has
no effect.
Pre Trigger
After the selected trigger to start sampling has been received,
previously received data for the length of time specified here will be
included in the sampled data. When the Trigger Mode is set to
"LEVEL" and the early portion of the sample is being lost, you can
use this setting to include the early portion.
Value: 0–1000 msec
Pre Gain
Adjusts the input gain. This will apply to the sound that is received
from all input jacks. It will also be applied to the sound being
resampled. With positive (+) values, the gain will be higher than
originally, and with negative (-) values the gain will be lower than
originally.
Value: -12– +36 dB

Pre-Effect Settings

SAMPLING Pre-Effect
fig.04-07_50
There are three pre-effects: compressor, limiter, and noise
suppressor. By using these you can adjust the level of the sound
being sampled.
Compressor:
By reducing high levels and raising low levels, this effect smoothes
out unevenness in volume.
Limiter:
By compressing sounds that exceed a specified volume level, this
effect prevents the sound from distorting.
Noise suppressor:
This effect leaves the original sound untouched, but mutes the noise
that is heard during periods of silence.
Type (Pre-Effect Type)
Value
OFF: No pre-effect will be used.
COMP+NS: Compressor and noise suppressor settings can be made.
LMT+NS: Limiter and noise suppressor settings can be made.
NS: Noise suppressor settings can be made.
■ Compressor
Sustain
Specifies the time over which a low-level signal is raised until it
reaches a fixed volume.
Value: 0–127
Attack (Attack Time)
Specifies the attack time of the input sound.
Value: 0–127
Tone
Adjusts the tone quality of the compressor.
Value: -50– +50
Level (Out
Adjusts the output volume.
Value: 0– +24 dB
