Editing Individual Keys (Individual Note Voicing) - Roland RD-800 Owner's Manual

Detailed Tone Settings (Designer)
Parameter Value Explanation
The time it takes after the key is pressed for a sound to
reach full volume.
Attack Time
Higher values produce a milder attack; lower values
produce a sharper attack.
Offset
* With some Tones, the effect does not work as
This is the time over which the volume decays after the
attack is finished.
The time it takes for the volume to fall increases as the
Decay Time
value is raised; lowering the value decreases the decay
Offset
time.
* With some Tones, the effect does not work as
The time it takes after the key is released for a sound to
become inaudible.
Release Time
Higher values produce longer decay; set lower values for
a clear-cut sound.
Offset
* With some Tones, the effect does not work as
Adjusts how much the filter is opened.
Higher values brighten the sound; lower values make
Cutoff Offset the sound seem darker.
-64–+63
* With some Tones, the effect does not work as
Emphasizes the overtones in the vicinity of the cutoff
frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively
high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound
to distort.
Resonance
Higher values strengthen the distinctive characteristics
Offset
of the sound; lower values reduce these characteristics.
* With some Tones, the effect does not work as
Adjusts the vibrato speed (the rate at which the pitch
Vibrato Rate
is modulated). The pitch is modulated more rapidly for
Offset
higher settings, and more slowly with lower settings.
Adjusts the depth of the vibrato effect (the depth at
Vibrato Depth
which the pitch is modulated). The pitch is modulated
Offset more greatly for higher settings, and less with lower
settings.
For each part, this adjusts the time until vibrato
(pitch modulation) begins.
Vibrato Delay
Higher settings produce a longer delay time before
Offset
vibrato begins, while lower settings produce a shorter
time.

Tuning
You can make fine adjustments to the tuning of each key.
Parameter Value
OFF,
Type
PRST (PRESET), USER
Value
-50.0–+50.0
Level
This is a fine adjustment to the volume of each key.
Parameter Value
Type
OFF, USER
Value
-50–0
Character
Relative to the value of the "Character" parameter in Piano
Designer, this lets you adjust the offset value for each key.
Parameter Value
Type
OFF, USER
Value
-5–0–+5
MEMO
If you change the value of a key from "OFF" or "PRST, " the Type
will automatically change to "USER. "
Explanation
Selects the type of tuning.
PRST (PRESET) is the tuning curve that's
factory-set for the RD-800.
If you choose USER, you'll be able to specify
the tuning of each key.
Allows for fine adjustments to the tuning of
each key in steps of 0.1 cents, over a range
of -50.0 to +50.0 cents.
Explanation
If you choose USER, you'll be able to edit
the volume of each key.
Lower values cause the key to be softer
than the other keys.
Explanation
If you choose USER, you'll be able to edit
the Character offset value of each key.
Higher values produce a harder sound;
lower values make the tone more mellow.
