Reverb - Roland Interactive Arranger EXR-46 OR Owner's Manual

r EXR-46 OR
FL/Delay: This effect connects a Flanger and a Delay in par-
allel.
Cho/Flgr: This effect connects a Chorus and a Flanger in
parallel.
Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 45).
Note: By default, MFX type selection is linked to Tone selection
for the Main part. This can be switched off, however, see "Tone
MFX°" (p. 43). Note that this does not apply to all Tones.
(5) While selecting an MFX type, play a few notes on the key-
board to audition the effect.
(6) Press another "big" button in the DATA ENTRY section to
leave this function.
Note: If the MFX is on, the Main part is no longer processed by
the Chorus effect. But the MFX also contains Chorus algorithms
(either in isolation or in combination with other effects).

Reverb

Reverb is an effect that gives you the impression of playing in a
concert hall, a room or another acoustic environment that
reflects the sounds that are being produced.
When you switch on the EXR-46 OR, all three Keyboard parts
(Main, Dual, Split) as well as the Arranger and Song parts are
processed by the internal Reverb effect.
If you don't need that, you can either switch off the Reverb pro-
cessor (in which case none of the EXR-46 OR's 19 parts are pro-
cessed) or prevent just one Keyboard part from being processed.
You cannot change the amount of reverb that is added to the
Arranger or pre-recorded Song parts.
GSwitching the Reverb on/off
Use the following procedure if you want no reverb at all (for
none of the EXR-46 OR's parts), or to select another Reverb
type.
(1) Press the [FUNCTION] button (it must light).
FUNCTION
(2) Use FAMILY [√][®] to select "EFFECTS".
The EXR-46 OR's function parameters are divided into 9 log-
ical "families". For the following, we need to select the
effects group.
(3) Use SELECT [√][®] to select the "REV" parameter.
Hall 2
00
Note: See also "Working with the FAMILY, SELECT and numeric
buttons" (p. 20).
(4) Use the [–][+] buttons to select "Off" if you don't need
the Reverb processor. Otherwise, select one of the eight
available types:
Type Explanation
Room 1~3 These types simulate the Reverb characteris-
tics of a room. The higher the number (1, 2, or
3), the "bigger" the room becomes.
Hall 1, 2 These types simulate the Reverb of a small (1)
or large (2) concert hall and thus sound far
"bigger" than the Room types above.
Plate Digital simulation of a metal plate that is
sometimes used for creating Reverb effects.
Works well for percussive sounds.
Delay A Delay effect (no Reverb). Works a lot like an
echo effect and thus repeats the sounds.
Pan Delay This is a stereo version of the preceding Delay
effect. It creates repetitions that alternate
between the left and right channels.
(5) Play a few notes on the keyboard to audition the effect.
GChanging the amount of reverb processing for
the Keyboard parts
To change the reverb depth (i.e. how much reverb is added to
a part), proceed as follows:
(6) If the [FUNCTION] button still lights, use SELECT [√][®] to
select one of the following parameters.
Rev MAIN
Reverb depth of the Main part.
Rev DUAL
Reverb depth of the Dual part.
Rev SPLIT
Reverb depth of the Split part.
(If [FUNCTION] doesn't light, first perform steps (1) and (2)
above.)
(7) Use [–][+] to select "0" if you don't want the selected Key-
board part to be processed by the reverb effect. Other-
wise, set the desired value.
