Sub Osc; Sub Detune; Power Bend; Power Bend Q - Roland V-Bass VB-99 Owner's Manual

COSM BASS
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
FILTER DEPTH
-50–+50 Adjusts the depth of the filter. Increasing
this value will produce a greater amount of
filter change. "+" and "-" will cause the filter
to move in opposite directions.

SUB OSC

Adds depth to the sound by layering a synth sound onto each string.
OFF SUB OSC is not used.
DETUNE Adds depth to the sound by layering a
pitch-shifted sound.
-1OCT Adds depth to the sound by layering sound
one-octave lower.

SUB DETUNE

-50–+50 Specify the pitch of the DETUNE sound in
units of a cent.
SUB LEVEL
0–100 Specify the volume of the DETUNE sound
or -1OCT sound.
FILTER
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
MASTER LEVEL
0–100 Sets the volume.
FILTER CUTOFF
0–100 Adjusts the cutoff frequency, setting the
brightness (hardness) of the sound. The
sound gets brighter (harder) as the value is
raised.
FILTER RESO (Filter Resonance)
0–100 Adjusts the resonance (distinctiveness of the
sound). As the value is increased, sounds in
the frequency range near the cutoff frequen-
cy are boosted, making the sound more dis-
tinctive and unique.
TOUCH SENS (Touch Sensitivity)
0–100 This sets the sensitivity when the filter is
shifted according to the playing. The shift-
ing of the filter caused by the playing in-
creases as the value is raised. When the
value is set to 0, the filter remains set, with
no movement.
FILTER DECAY
0–100 This sets the speed at which the filter stops.
The speed increases as the value of the set-
ting is reduced.
* The decay effect cannot be obtained if the
TOUCH SENS value is too low.
COLOR
0–100 Adjusts the strength of the low range. As the
value is increased, the low range will be-
come stronger.

MASTER LEVEL
0–100 Sets the volume.
FILTER CUTOFF
0–100 Adjusts the cutoff frequency, setting the

FILTER RESO (Filter Resonance)

Sensitivity)
TOUCH SENS (Touch
0–100 This sets the sensitivity when the filter is
shifted according to the playing. The shifting
of the filter caused by the playing increases
as the value is raised. When the value is set to
0, the filter remains set, with no movement.

POWER BEND

A higher setting results in a darker sound. At the same time, the tone
and volume also change with respect to fluctuations in pitch pro-
duced by vibrato or other techniques.
0–100 The higher the value, the more strained the
sound becomes.

POWER BEND Q

0–100 The higher the value, the more the sound will
consist of mainly the harmonic components, thus
creating a sound that exhibits almost no attack.
SUSTAIN
0–100 Adjusts the range (time) over which low-
level signals are boosted. Larger values will
result in longer sustain.
