Programming on the iPad
Whether you're programming ORGAN or SYNTH sounds, you can hear
the changes you make on the Pad by playing the VR-09 keyboard as
you make them. Here's how to operate the iPad's ORGAN and SYNTH
controls in general:
•
Adjust bar, slider and knob values—by dragging up or down over
the slider or knob.
•
Toggle switches and buttons on and off—by touching the switches
or buttons.
To program an ORGAN sound, touch the ORGAN button at the top
left of the iPad screen. To program a SYNTH sound, touch the SYNTH
button next to it.
After selecting the type of sound you want to program, touch the READ
button to the left of the ORGAN and SYNTH buttons—the VR-09 Editor
updates its settings to match the VR-09's current settings so things
stay in sync.
Working with ORGAN Sounds on the iPad
Drawbars
The VR-09's SuperNATURAL Virtual Tonewheel technology is a
powerful tool for creating authentic and organically responsive organ
sounds. Its many settings are described in the Owner's Manual,
beginning on page 16.
About the iPad Drawbars
These drawbars act like the ORGAN-section sliders on the VR-09 itself,
allowing you to set the frequency content, and therefore the timbre, of
ORGAN sounds.
Everything
else
When you're playing
a single, unlayered ORGAN sound
a split with an ORGAN sound for
both the left and right hands
a split with an ORGAN sound
for the left hand and a PIANO or
SYNTH sound for the right
a split/layer combo with an
ORGAN sound for the left hand,
and second ORGAN sound
layered with a PIANO or SYNTH
sound for the right hand
Onscreen, the VR-09 Editor swaps the left/right positions of the
UPPER and LOWER drawbars so that they fall under your free
hand as you play.
The PEDAL drawbars control the timbre of the ORGAN sound
played by a connected Roland PK-6 or PK-9 (purchased separately)
as described on page 8 of the Owner's Manual. The pedal option
is available when you're using a Jazz Organ or Rock Organ type.
Use
the UPPER drawbars for
controlling the ORGAN sound.
the LOWER drawbars for
controlling the left hand sound,
and the UPPER bars for
controlling the right.
the LOWER drawbars for the
ORGAN sound.
use the LOWER drawbars
for the lefthand organ, and
the UPPER drawbars for the
righthand organ.
