Effect Block
High Damp Gain
Value: -36–0 dB
Sets the degree of the High Damp.
Feedback Level
Value: 0–100
Sets the repeat time for the delay sound. When set to 0,
each delayed sound is played only once.
• Increasing the value too highly may cause oscillation
in the sound.
Direct Level
Value: 0–100
Sets the volume of the source sound.
Normally, you can really grasp the RSS effect by setting
the monaural delay level to 0. With the L-R shift set to 0
(no shift), the RSS effect may be difficult to hear. The
points to be aware of when synchronizing the delay to
the song's tempo are the same as those in algorithm 06
EZ Delay (p. 25).

MV-8800 Appendices
RSS (Roland Sound Space) is a special effects
technology that allows you to play three-dimensional
sounds with ordinary stereo speakers. RSS technology
is used, in part, in this algorithm, which gives you the
effect of having the sound placed right on either side of
you (outside the field defined by the left and right
speakers). (Some of Roland effects processors with
dedicated RSS installed, you can freely control the
direction, whether above, below, or behind, as well as
the distance, near or far, that the sound apparently
comes from.)
To have the RSS effect exhibited to the fullest extent,
take note of the following points.
• It works best in rooms with little reverberation.
• Single-way speakers are most appropriate. Furthermore,
coaxial or virtual coaxial speakers are also acceptable.
• On the sides, keep speakers as far away from walls as
possible.
• Do not separate the left and right speakers too much.
• Listen from the optimal position, as shown below.

For Stereo Speakers
This sound is made to be played specifically through speakers.
The proper effect cannot be obtained if listened to through headphones.
Less reflections from the wall
or floor are better.
If a hard wall is close to it,
draw a curtain.
24 to 30 deg.
Speakers should be placed
as far away as possible from
the wall or floor.
