Tone Part Mfx' Parameters - Roland BK-5OR Owner's Manual

Resonance
When the Resonance value is increased, the over-
tones in the area of the cutoff frequency will be
emphasized, creating a sound with a strong charac-
ter.
Parameter Setting
Resonance –64~+63
NOTE
For some sounds, negative (–) "Resonance" settings may
produce no noticeable change because the Resonance is
already set to the minimum value.
Attack (only for Tones)
This parameter adjusts the onset of the sound. Nega-
tive values speed up the attack, so that the sound
becomes more aggressive.
Parameter Setting
Attack –64~+63
Decay
This parameter adjusts the time over which the
sound's volume and cutoff frequency fall from the
highest point of the attack down to the sustain level.
Parameter Setting
Decay –64~+63
NOTE
Percussive sounds usually have a sustain level of "0". Piano
and guitar sounds are in this category. Holding the keys for
a long time will have little effect on the duration of the
notes you are playing, even if you select a high value here.
Release
This parameter adjusts the time over which the sound
will decay after the note is released until it is no
longer heard. The cutoff frequency will also fall
according to this setting.
Parameter Setting
Release –64~+63
Vibrato Rate
This parameter adjusts the speed of the pitch modu-
lation. Positive (+) settings make the preset pitch
modulation faster and negative (–) settings make it
slower.
Parameter Setting
Vibrato Rate –64~+63
Vibrato Depth
This parameter adjusts the intensity of the pitch
modulation. Positive (+) settings mean that the
"wobble" becomes more prominent, while negative
(–) settings make it shallower.
Parameter Setting
Vibrato Depth –64~+63
Backing Keyboard BK-5 OR
Vibrato Delay
This parameter adjusts the time required for the
vibrato effect to begin. Positive (+) settings increase
the time before vibrato will begin and negative set-
tings shorten the time.
Parameter Setting
Vibrato Delay –64~+63
C1
The function of this parameter depends on the sound
you assigned to the selected part. It may influence
the filter and resonance setting, switch between the
organ samples with the fast and slow Rotary modu-
lation, etc.
Parameter Setting
C1 0~127

'Tone Part MFX' parameters

This function group can be selected using [MENU] but-
ton ‰ "Performance Edit" ‰ "Tone Part MFX". Your
BK-5 OR contains a multi-effects processor that can be
used for processing any keyboard part you like. See
"Mfx" on p. 61. (There are also 3 Mfx processors for the
rhythm/song parts).
Mfx Switch
Select "Off" if you don't need the Mfx processor.
