User manual ROLAND E-200 ANNEXE 529

[. . . ] r E-200/E-100 InteLLIGENT KEYBOARD Owner's Manual Thank you for choosing a Roland E-200/E-100 Intelligent Keyboard, a novel instrument with a superior Roland sound source, an intuitive user interface, a USB port, V-LINK compatibility and a host of other useful functions. To get the most out of the E-200/E-100 and to ensure many years of trouble-free service, we urge you to read through this Owner's Manual thoroughly. To avoid confusion, let's agree to use the word "button" for all keys on the front panel, and use "key" only when referring to the E-200/E-100's keyboard. Before using this instrument, carefully read the "Important notes" (p. [. . . ] (1) Press the [TRANSPOSE] button. Octave settings The E-200/E-100 allows you to transpose the Keyboard parts (Main, Split, Dual) up or down by 4 octaves. To change the octave transposition of a part, hold down [TONE] (Main part), [SPLIT] (Split part) or [DUAL] (Dual part), while pressing [­] (down) or [+] (up). NO YES TRANSPOSE Transpos= 4 (E major) TEMPO / DATA The display now looks as follows: 00 Transpos 120 = 001 The corresponding value and the TRANSPOSE icon appear in the display. (3) To switch the Transpose function back off, repeat steps (1) and (2), this time selecting the value "0" (no transposition). Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. Note: There is also a function that allows you to specify which section(s) the Transpose function should apply to. 37). Other Keyboard part functions Here are yet other functions related to the Keyboard parts. These can be set via the FUNCTION menu, or are covered elsewhere: · Keyboard velocity (see p. 38). ORCHESTRATOR BEAT M INTRO FULL BAND (2) Use the [NO/­]/[YES/+] and/or numeric buttons ([0]~[9]) to set the desired transposition interval. A "semitone" is one step between a white and a black key (or two adjacent white keys, i. e. Press [+] or [­] repeatedly to transpose the keyboard up or down. NO YES TEMPO / DATA You can also directly enter the desired interval by pressing the corresponding numeric key. 30 E-200/E-100 10. Performance functions and effects Performance functions Keyboard Touch (velocity sensitivity) The E-200/E-100 is velocity sensitive, which means that the volume and brightness of the Main, Split and Dual notes depend on the force/speed with which you strike the keys. KEYBOARD TOUCH "1" is very low (usually inaudible), while "127" corresponds to maximum striking force (loud, bright notes). The value is only used when the KEY TOUCH icon is not displayed (otherwise, all notes use the velocity values that correspond to the force with which you strike the keys). (5) Press another "big" button in the DATA ENTRY section to leave this function. Note: Some sounds use "velocity switching". This means that by hitting the keys harder and softer, you alternate between two sounds. So only switch off this parameter if doing so makes you feel more comfortable. Note: Keyboard Touch applies to all parts you can play yourself (the "Keyboard parts"): Main, Split, and Dual. Note: If necessary, you can change the Pitch Bend interval. Note: Modulation is not available when the MFX type= "Rotary". In that case, the modulation axis of the lever is used for switching between the fast and slow speeds. 00 KbdTouch All acoustic instruments (piano, violin, flute, drums, etc. ) are velocity sensitive. The harder you play, the louder and brighter the resulting notes will be, which creates a perfectly natural effect. (That explains why the KEYBOARD TOUCH function is on when you power on the E-200/E-100. ) If the E-200/E-100 is your first musical instrument ever, you may feel distracted by the volume and timbre variations of the notes you play. (1) If the KEY TOUCH icon is not displayed, press the [KEYBOARD¥TOUCH] button to activate the E-200/E-100's velocity sensitivity. (2) Press the button again to switch the KEYBOARD TOUCH function off, if you don't need it. (3) To set a fixed velocity value, press and hold the [KEYBOARD¥TOUCH] button until the "KbdTouch" message is displayed. [. . . ] Chahine S. A. L. Gerge Zeidan St. , Chahine Bldg. , Achrafieh, P. O.
