What To Do When A Tone Is Supposed To Sound, But Doesn't; Common; Setting The Volume Level Of Each Patch (Patch Level) - Roland GR-30 Manual

4. When you get it set to sound the way you like,
switch the PARAMETER SELECT dial to "WRITE
PATCH?", and press the [+] and [-] buttons simul-
taneously to write the patch.
When saving to another patch number, before step 4,
turn the PARAMETER SELECT dial to "WRITE
TO...", and use the [+] and [-] buttons to designate a
patch number as the destination.
When making this setting, please set LAYER (p. 34) so
that both the first and second tones are playing.
What to do When a Tone is
Supposed to Sound, but
Doesn't
In cases where only the first or second tone can be
heard, one of the following may be the cause. Check
the following items, and if one of them turns out to be
the problem, refer to the specified page, and change
the settings.

COMMON

Setting the Volume Level of Each Patch (PATCH LEVEL)

For things like switching between multiple patches
while playing, having the volume of backing patches
set lower than the volume of solo patches is a conve-
nient feature. You can make these kinds of volume
settings by recording the patch level (PATCH LEVEL)
of each patch.
<Determining and Recording Patch Volumes>
1. Select the patch whose volume you want to
change, and press [EDIT/PLAY] to go into the
Edit mode.
2. Set the EDIT TARGET dial to COMMON, and the
PARAMETER SELECT dial to "A" (PATCH
LEVEL).
3. With the [+] and [-] buttons, change the values,
within a range of 0 to 100. A setting of "0" silences
to patch, and "100" sets it to maximum volume.
4. When you get it set to sound the way you like,
switch the PARAMETER SELECT dial to "WRITE
PATCH?", and press the [+] and [-] buttons simul-
taneously to write the patch.
36
All or one of the strings is set to "1" (first tone
only) or "2" (second tone only), in LAYER (p. 34).
1:2 BAL (p. 35) is set to 50 or -50.
The tones are panned left and right (50 and -50)
with the COMMON PAN setting (p. 39), and the
amp is connected with only one channel having
sound output.
When an external expression pedal is connected,
with "Ad1," "Ad2," or "bAL" having been select-
ed with that function (p. 49), and the pedal is
brought all the way back (or pressed all the way
forward).
Even though Arpeggiator may be on (p. 55), the
arpeggio pattern has been erased, or in the
ARPEGGIO/harmony SEL setting (p. 55), only one
tone has been assigned to the arpeggio.
When neither the first nor second tones are sounded,
please refer to p. 85 and perform the checks described.
When saving to another patch number, before step 4,
turn the PARAMETER SELECT dial to "WRITE
TO...", and use the [+] and [-] buttons to designate a
patch number as the destination.
Even with PATCH LEVEL values the same, volume lev-
els may change according to other settings. In the exam-
ple below, the level has been set high. If PATCH LEVEL
is then set to a low level, the balance of another patch is
used. (The combination of the settings shown below
may cause excessively high volume levels, so be careful
not to allow this to result in damage to amps and speak-
ers.
When both the first and second tones are present.
When the reverb is set to a high level, or when the
chorus effect is on.
When a high volume level is a characteristic of the
tone itself.
When the brightness setting value is high.
When wah effects are applied.
