Mode Switch - Roland SH-7 Instructions Manual

TOTAL TUNING
&
MODE
SWITCH
1.
POWER
SWITCH
Push Power switch and the
LED
(light
emitting
diode)
will light
indicating the
SH-7
is
on.
NOTE:
It
requires
about
five
minutes
for the
SH-7
circuits to
completely
stabilize.
Keep
this point
in
mind when
using the
SH-7 on
stage
or
in
recording
sessions.
2.
TOTAL TUNING
This controls
the overall
pitch of the SH-7.
Both VCO-1
(A),
and
(B),
and VCO-2
are
tuned
simultaneously by
this control.
The
tunable range
is
+300
cents
(300
cents =
minor
third),
thus
if
C
were the center
pitch,
the range would be from
the
A
below
to the
E
b
above.
With
this feature,
the
SH-7
can
play transposing parts such
as
for
trumpet
or
saxophone without
having to rewrite the parts
or transpose mentally.
When
first
turning the SH-7
on, be sure to allow
enough
time for the
circuits
to
stabilize
before
trying to
tune
accurately.
3.
KEY MODE
SWITCH
Set the switch
at
the
TWO
NOTE
position for
ordinary performance.
Normal
one-note and
two-note
performance
is
possible with
this
position. Set the switch
at
the
ONE NOTE
position
to get excellent
trills in
one-note
performances. At
the
ONE NOTE
position,
only one note
is
produced even when two
keys
are depressed simultaneously.
If
two
keys
are
depressed simultaneously, only the higher note
will
sound because
it
has
priority. Fairly fast
trills
are
possible by keeping
the
lower key
depressed and
striking the higher key intermit-
tently.
For
this
trill
performance,
set
the
TRIGGER
MODE
switch of the Envelope
Generator
to the
KYBD GATE
+
TRIG
position
(see
page
15).
Set the
KEY
MODE
switch to
EXT
CV/GATE/
(S/H)
when
controlling the SH-7 with
external
signals
from an
organ,
guitar,
second
synthesizer,
sequencer, computer,
string synthesizer
(RS-
202),
etc.
In
performance,
this
switch
is
convenient
because
it
allows instant changes of control
of the SH-7 between by
its
own
keyboard
or
from
an external source.
When
nothing
is
connected
to the
GATE
and
CV
INPUT
jacks, the
EXT
CV/GATE/(S/H)
position of the
KEY MODE
switch
will give
control of the synthesizer to the
S/H (Sample
and
Hold)
for
automatic performance. Since
the S/H
will
repeatedly trigger the envelope
generator,
this
position of the switch can
also
be used for rapidly repeating notes.
