Editing Rhythm Sets; Selecting The Basic Tone Of The Rhythm (Wave And Key) - Roland Groovebox MC-307 Reference Manual

Editing Rhythm Sets

A rhythm set assigns a different tone to each keyboard pad.
The R part can be used to play multiple rhythm instrument
sounds by itself.
Here's how to edit each tone.
Selecting the Basic Tone of the
rhythm (WAVE and KEY)
The WAVE and KEY are used to set up the waveform, that is,
the foundation of the rhythm tone sound, and to define basic
settings for the rhythm tone.
Procedure
1. Press the [PTN] button.
2. Press [PART SELECT] then, Press [R] part buttons to
select the part R.
3. Press [F1 (PACH)] and [F1 (EDIT)] button, in that order.
The menu screen for rhythm set editing appears.
4. Press the [CURSOR (up)] button.
5. Press the [F1 (WAVE)] button.
6. To edit parameters in the WAVE:", press [F1 (WAVE)]
button. To edit parameters in the "KEY:", press [F2
(KEY)] button.
One of the editing screens appears.
7. Press the[F3 (
)]/[F4 (
parameter to be edited.
8. Press an appropriate keyboard pad to select the key for
which you want to define the parameter.
(You can listen to the sound to confirm which tone is
selected.)
9. Specify a value using the [VALUE] dial or the [INC/
DEC] buttons.
10. After the value is specified, press the [EXIT] button to
return to the previous screen.
Parameters that can be set
- WAVE: WAVE, TONE SWITCH, WAVE GAIN
- KEY: ENV MODE, MUTE GROUP

WAVE parameters
WAVE:
You can make settings related to the waveform that is the
basis for a synthesizer's sound.
For each tone, select the waveform that will be the basis of
the sound.
The major part of a sound is determined by the waveform
that you select. It is recommended that a tone as close as
possible to the one you envision be selected.
Range: A001–A254, B001–B251, C001-C236

WAVE: TONE SWITCH
Turn this "ON" if you want the tone to sound, or "OFF" if
you do not want the tone to sound.
Range: OFF, ON
WAVE: GAIN
This parameter boosts the waveform. Raising the value by 6
dB will double the gain.
Range: -6, 0, +6, +12
KEY parameters
KEY: ENV MODE (ENVELOPE MODE)
Specifies how the sound will play when a sustained-type
waveform such as a whistle (a looped waveform) is selected.
* If a waveform with a long decay (one-shot waveform) is
selected, setting this parameter to SUSTAIN will have no
effect.
Range:
- NO-SUS: The sound will decay naturally even if you
continue holding the keyboard pad.
- SUSTAIN:The sound will continue as long as the
keyboard pad is pressed.
KEY: MUTE GROUP
The Mute Group function lets you prevent percussion
instruments in the same mute group from sounding
simultaneously.
If you are not using the mute group function, set this OFF.
For example, on an acoustic drum set, it is physically
impossible for the open hi-hat sound to be heard at the same
