Velocity On/Off; Specifying The Width Of Parameter Change - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

Parameters that can be controlled
The parameters of all sliders/knobs other than the follow-
ing can be controlled by velocity.
• VOLUME [LEVEL]
• [TEMPO]
• VOICE MODULATOR [CONTROL 1] and [CONTROL 2]
• EXTERNAL INPUT [INST/LOWER] and [VOCAL/UPPER]
• Voice Modulator parameters sliders/knobs when both
[UPPER] and [LOWER] are blinking
The [R] of the Filter Envelope and Amp Envelope sections
are controlled by Note-off velocity. All other parameters are
controlled by Note-on velocity.
When using velocity to control the following parameters,
the change will occur only upward (or toward the right) if
the knob/slider is positioned in the center or toward the
right. The change will occur only downward (toward the
left) if the knob/slider is positioned at the left or down-
ward. It is not possible to control the parameter through the
center (zero) position.
• [LFO1 DEPTH] of the OSC Common section
• [DEPTH] of the Pitch Envelope section
• [LFO1 DEPTH] of the Filter section
• [DEPTH] of the Filter Envelope section
• [LFO1 DEPTH] of the Amp section (except when Manual
Pan)
• [DEPTH] of the LFO2 section

Velocity On/Off

Pressing [VELOCITY] will toggle Velocity on/off. When
this is On, the indicator will light, and velocity will affect
the sound as specified by your settings (see the following
paragraphs). When this is Off, the sound will not change in
response to your playing dynamics.
* When Velocity is Off, sound will be produced as though
the Note On velocity (the speed at which the key was
pressed) and the Note Off velocity (the speed at which
the key was released) were 80 (in a range of 127 steps).
On the JP-8080, these are referred to as the standard
velocity values.
Specifying the Width of Parameter
Change
When you set the width of the parameter change that will
occur when velocity changes from the standard value (80)
to the maximum value (127), the width of the parameter
change that will occur when velocity changes from the stan-
dard value (80) to the minimum value (0) will be set auto-
matically.
82
width of parameter change in
response to velocity
By moving the slider/knob in the opposite direction, you
can also make settings that cause the parameter value to
decrease as velocity increases.
1
Press [VELOCITY] to turn Velocity On.
2
Move the sliders/knobs to create the sound that will
be produced by notes played with the standard
velocity value.
3
Press MORPHING [VELOCITY ASSIGN].
The indicator will blink, and the velocity assign page
will appear.
if settings have already been made
if settings have not yet been made
To cancel the settings, press [VELOCITY ASSIGN] or
[EXIT].
4
Create the sound that will be produced by notes
played with the maximum velocity.
These operations will determine the width over which
the parameters will change.
If you move a slider/knob for which the width of
change has already been set, the previous setting will be
overwritten and changed.
5
Press [VELOCITY ASSIGN] or [EXIT].
The indicator will change to lit, and the previous display
will reappear.
This completes velocity settings.
If velocity settings have been made, the [VELOCITY
ASSIGN] indicator will always be lit. Conversely, if the
[VELOCITY ASSIGN] indicator is dark, no parameter
changes have been assigned, and the sound will not change
in response to your playing dynamics even if the [VELOCI-
TY] indicator is lit.
6
Return the sliders/knobs to the positions in which
they were set for step 2.
