Roland S-330 Owner's Manual page 7

IMPORTANT NOTES
^Basically,
to
operate the
S-330,
a
CRT
Display
is
necessary.
CRT
Displays
compatible with the S
—
330
are
listed
and explained on
page
11.
*The
optional
Sound
Libraries
L-501
to
L-509
contain data for
S-50.To
use
these with the
S-330,
execute "Convert Disk"
(page.145)
*The S-330
determines the
volume by
directly controlling
the
digital
data,
therefore, the
dynamic range
is
automatically increased
by
raising
the volume,
creating delicate
and
natural
volume
alteration. So,
it
may
be
a
good
idea to
set the
volume on the
S-330
as high as possible
and adjust the
volume on
a
mixer
or amplifier.
-fcThe
S-330
is
fully
controlled
by
a
computer system, therefore,
like
any
computer
controlling unit,
it
may
get into trouble suddenly.
If
so,
switch the unit
off,
and swtich
it
on
again.
(When
this
happens, data
in
the internal
memory
will
be
lost.)
-klhe S
—
330
is
16
voice polyphonic. This,
however,
may
be decreased depending
on the conditions.
*Noise
or
hum may
be heard
in
the following conditions.
Simply
change
the
positions of
the
units.
• When
the
CRT
Display
is
mounted
on the
S-330
or placed close to
it.
•
When
the
S-330
is
placed close to
a
large-power consuming
device
such
as
a
power
amplifier.
"ArWhen sampling a
wave
or editing a
sample,
you should monitor the
sound
using
voice
module
A.
The sound
to
be monitored
is
affected
by
how
the parameters
of the
Patch assigned to voice
module
A
are
set,
so please
check
the following
points.
©Check
the receive channel of voice
module
A
in
the Play
mode,
then set
the channel
of the
connected MIDI
controller (or
the channel of the data
if
using the Sequencer
Software)
to
the
same number.
©Raise the Level of voice
module
A
in
the Play mode.
©Check
the
Patch assinged to voice
module
A
in
the Play
mode, then
call
that
Patch
at
Patch
PRM
menu
in
the Edit
mode.
Raise the Level
in
Patch Parameters.
*This
unit
does not
work
if
the version
number (=the number
put
to
the
software) of the
system
disk
does not
match that of the
utility
disk.
If
they
are not the
same number, the data loaded so
far will
be
reset (erased).
The
vesrion
number
can be seen
in
the Display while the unit
is
being booted.
To use the system
disk
and
utility
disk of different version
numbers, you need
to
save the
system with the
Save
SYS
function
and
change
the version
numbers.
•
Version
numbers
of the
supplied
system
disk
and
utility
disk are set to the
same
number. However, the above should be observed
when
you use
a different
data
disk.
