Pd Shift (Pedal Shift); Poly Octave (Polyphonic Octave); Poly Distortion (Polyphonic Distortion) - Roland V-Bass Owner's Manual

PD SHIFT (Pedal Shift)

Specifies the amount of shift for the pitch shifted sound.
ON/OFF
Switches the pedal shift on/off.
PITCH
Specifies the amount of pitch shift controlled by the pedal.
STRNG Hi–Lo (String)
Switches pedal pitch shift on/off for each string. This lets
you modify the pitch of only specific strings.
SET PDL (Setting Pedal)
Assigns the pitch shift function to the built-in EXP pedal.
The value of the PITCH parameter at the time when the SET
PDL ([F6]) is pressed, will be the value when the built-in EXP
pedal is pressed all the way to the maximum point. When the
EXP pedal is returned to the minimum point, the PITCH
value will be 0.
POLY OCTAVE
(Polyphonic octave)
This simulates an octave performance effect.
ON/OFF
Switch the octave on/off.
* You can turn the VALUE dial to select PRESET.
-1OCT Hi–Lo
Adds a pitch one octave below the original sound.
DIR Hi–Lo (Direct)
Adjusts the level of the original sound.
POLY DISTORTION
(Polyphonic distortion)
Independently distorts the sound of each string to create a
sound that does not become "muddy" when chords are
played.
-24–+24
ON/OFF
Turns distortion on/off.
* You can turn the VALUE dial to select PRESET.
ON/OFF
TYPE
Specifies the type of the distortion.
OD1
(Overdrive 1)
OD2
(Overdrive 2)
DS1
(Distortion 1)
DS2
(Distortion 2)
DRIVE
Adjusts the depth of distortion.
TONE
Adjusts the tonal character.
LEVEL (Distortion Level)
Adjusts the level of the distorted sound.
0–100
DIR LEVEL (Direct level)
Adjusts the level of the direct sound.
0–100
DRV BAL (Drive balance)
Adjusts the depth of distortion between the low and high
strings to produce a consistent volume balance.
POLY BAL (Poly balance)
Adjusts the sound separation between the strings when
played in chords. Each string sounds separated when
adjusted to the greater value. The sound will be equivalent to
the normal distortion when the value is set to 0.
