Playing Two Patches From The Keyboard; Changing The Pitch (Pitch Bend Lever); Applying Modulation To The Sound; Using The Modulation Lever - Roland JX-305 Owner's Manual

Chapter 2. Playing the Keyboard
Each time you press OCTAVE [+], the range will be
raised one octave.
Each time you press OCTAVE [-], the range will be
lowered one octave.
While an OCTAVE button is pressed, the display will
indicate the current setting.

Changing the Pitch (Pitch Bend Lever)

By moving the pitch bend lever (located at the left of
the keyboard) to left or right, you can change the pitch
of the sound.

BENDER
If you wish to modify the range of pitch
change...
"Adjusting the Range of Pitch Bend (Bend
Range)" (p. 76)
Parts affected by the Pitch Bend lever
The part(s) affected by the pitch bend lever will
depend on the Key Mode.
Single : The effect will be applied to the current part.
Split: The effect will be applied to the upper part
when the [UPPER] indicator is lit, and to the
lower part when the [LOWER] indicator is lit.
Dual: Regardless of the [UPPER]-[LOWER] selec-
tion, the effect will be applied to both parts.

Applying Modulation to the Sound

Using the Modulation Lever

You can use the Modulation lever to apply changes to
the sound.
fig.2-26
BENDER
Since the sound will change only when the modula-
tion lever is tilted away from you, this can be used to
add accents to your playing.

If you wish to specify the parameter affected by
the modulation lever...
"Specifying the Parameters That Will Be
Modified by Each Controller (Control)" (p. 76)

Using Aftertouch

Pressure which is applied to the keyboard after play-
ing a note is referred to as "aftertouch." Aftertouch can
be used to apply change to the sound.
To specify the parameter that will be affected
when aftertouch is applied...
"Specifying the Parameters That Will Be
Modified by Each Controller (Control)" (p. 76)
Parts that will be affected
The part(s) affected by the modulation lever or after-
touch will depend on the Key Mode.
Single: The effect will be applied to the current part.
Split: The effect will be applied to the upper part
when the [UPPER] indicator is lit, and to the
lower part when the [LOWER] indicator is lit.
Dual: Regardless of the [UPPER]-[LOWER] selec-
tion, the effect will be applied to both parts.
Changing the Keyboard
Dynamics (Keyboard Velocity)
The force with which you play the keyboard is called
"velocity." Velocity can be used to affect the volume
or the way in which each note sounds.
1. Press [EDIT].
The indicator lights, and the edit page will appear in
the display.
2. Press BANK [5] (CONTROLLER).
The Velocity setting page will appear.
fig.2-41
3. Use [INC] [DEC] or the [VALUE] dial to set
the value.
Range:
REAL: The velocity value will correspond to the strength
with which you actually play the note.
1–127: A fixed velocity value will be produced,
regardless of how strongly you play.
