User manual ROLAND EXR-3S ANNEXE 855

[. . . ] Thank you for choosing a Roland EXR-5s/EXR-3s Interactive Arranger 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 EXR-5s/EXR-3s 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 EXR-5s/EXR-3s's keyboard. Before using this instrument, carefully read the "Important notes" (p. [. . . ] All other notes will be shifted by the same amount, so that you end up sounding in E major when you actually play in C major, etc. 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 entering the value "0" (no transposition). Note: There is also a function that allows you to specify which section(s) the Transpose function should apply to. (4) Press another "big" button in the DATA ENTRY section to leave this function. Its value is added to the current transposition interval until you reset it to "0" or until you switch off your EXR-5s/EXR-3s. (2) Press the SELECT [®] button once to select the following parameter: You can also directly enter the desired interval by pressing the corresponding numeric key. To transpose the keyboard down, hold down [­] while pressing [0]~[6] (in that case, you can transpose the pitch down by up to 6 semitones) As soon a you select a value other than "0", the TRANSPOSE icon starts flashing to signal that the EXR-5s/EXR-3s is applying global transposition to all sections. (4) To switch the global transposition back off, repeat step (3), this time entering the value "0" (no transposition). the TRANSPOSE icon stops flashing (and disappears if the "USRTrnsp" function is off). Note: This setting is not saved to a User Program and will be cancelled when you switch off the EXR-5s/EXR-3s. (5) Press another "big" button in the DATA ENTRY section to leave this function. The EXR-5s/EXR-3s 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). These can be set via the FUNCTION menu, or are covered elsewhere: · The EXR-5s/EXR-3s 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. 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 EXR-5s/EXR-3s. ) If the EXR-5s/EXR-3s 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 EXR-5s/ EXR-3s'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. (4) Use the numeric buttons and/or [­]/[+] to set the velocity value that should be used for all notes you play (1~127). [. . . ] Note: By connecting the OUTPUT jacks, you do not switch off the EXR-5s/EXR-3s's amplification system. You can connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U foot switch to the FOOTSWITCH jack in order to hold the notes even after releasing the keys, or to perform other functions (see p. The EXR-5s/EXR-3s provides two functions that may come in handy for music teachers or for those who use the EXR-5s/ EXR-3s in class: The EXR-5s/EXR-3s's Demo function can be switched off so that pressing [USB]+[ONE¥TOUCH] will have no effect at all. This may be useful in situations where the EXR-5s/EXR-3s is used in class. [. . . ]
