Assign Function Settings - Roland V-Bass Owner's Manual

Chapter 2. Creating sounds

Assign function settings

Set this when you want to control parameters using an
external pedal or MIDI device connected to the V-Bass. You
can also make settings to control several parameters
simultaneously. For each patch number, you can specify
eight parameters (Assign numbers 1–8) that will be
controlled by a controller you specify.
* As an example here, we will describe how to make settings for
Assign 1. You can use the same procedure for making Assign
settings 2–8.

Active Range:
about the variable range of a controller
This setting specifies the operating range in which the value
will change when the source you are using is a continuously
variable controller, such as an expression pedal. Even if you
move the controller outside of this range, the value will not
change; it will stay at the "minimum value" or "maximum
value."
