Features
● The KC-1000 has a dedicated ORGAN jack in order to produce the distinctive sounds
of a tone-wheel organ as effectively as possible. It also has an ORCHESTRAL jack for
faithfully reproducing the original sounds of a digital piano or synthesizer. This is a
high-quality stereo keyboard amp.
● "Cabinet Modeling" technology, made possible through digital processing, is used to
simulate the distinctive resonance of a dedicated organ tone cabinet.
● Previously unattainable sound fields can be created by using seven speakers and five
amp systems to reproduce digitally processed signals in three-dimensional form.
● The KC-1000 provides three stereo input channels for the stereo outputs of your
keyboards, plus a microphone input.
● Stereo line out is provided. You can use the KC-1000 as your keyboard monitor, and
send the DSP-processed signal to an external PA system.
● The KC-1000 provides a STEREO LINK function. Two KC-1000 units can be used as a
simple PA system.
● All input and output jacks are set at an angle, preventing connecting cables from
becoming entangled above the control panel and allowing for easy access to the panel.
What is Cabinet Modeling?
.
Cabinet Modeling uses DSP (digital signal processor) technology to faithfully simulate
the acoustic reflections that occur within a rotary-type organ speaker cabinet.
The KC-1000 is a keyboard amp designed especially for organ performance.
This is implemented as a combination of Roland's proprietary RSS (p. 8) and COSM (p. 8)
technologies. The KC-1000's SOUND TYPE switch lets you select three different types of
Cabinet Modeling. Select the type that is most suited to your playing style.
