Melody Intell Voices (1, 2) (Arranger Parameter); Param\Catr\3 Page; Pitch Bender (Realtime Parts) - Roland G-800 Reference Manual

G-800 Reference Manual
Value (-127-+127)
Set this value to "O" if the Arranger part in question must not respond to the force with which
you strike the keys in the chord recognition area. The higher the positive value you set here,
the more force is required to have the part in question sound at its maximum value. Negative
settings, on the other hand, mean that the volume decreases as your velocity increases.
Note: The velocity Value you specify here will only be used when you press the [KBD SCALE]
button on the front panel (indicator must light).
Melody Intell Voices (1, 2) (Arranger parameter)
Though played by the Upper? part, the intelligent melody is controlled by the Arranger.
Using it requires that you press the [MELODY INTELLIGENCE] button on the front panel
(indicator must light). If, at that time, the Upper2 part is activated, the indicator of the Key-
board Mode [UPPER2] goes dark to signal that the Upper2 part is now being controlled by
the Arranger. Tone selection for the Upper2 part, however, is still possible.
The Melody Intelligence function adds a second (and third) voice to the melody you play
using the Upper! part. As you know, the intelligent melody is based on the chords you play
in the chord recognition area of the keyboard.
Use the |. ice. parameter to select either 1 or 2 intelligent harmonies.

Pitch Bender (Realtime parts)
34
Part (UP1, UP2, LWR, MBS, MDR)
This parameter allows you to select the Realtime part whose pitch bend range you wish to set.
Surprising though it may be, you can also specify a pitch bend range for the Manual Drums
part. Selecting values between "2" and "7" allows you to achieve interesting effects that work
well for timpani sounds, for example.
Range (0-24)
This parameter is used to specify the maximum pitch shift that can be achieved by turning the
Bender lever fully to the left or right. Since there is only one Range parameter, it applies to
both upward and downward bends.
Note: The Range value you set here will only be effective when you tun the Bender lever fully to
the left (downward bends) or to the right (upward bends). Intermediary positions of the lever pro-
duce the resulting intermediary bend value.
