User manual ROLAND VARIOS-8

[. . . ] Introduction VariOS-8 is a trial application that transforms your VariOS into a completely different sound module. When the VariOS-8 program is installed, you can use the VariOS as an analog modeling synthesizer. You can use a rich array of parameters to produce realistic analog synthesizer sounds.

[. . . ] For example if this is set to "48" and you move the pitch bend lever all the way to the left, the pitch will fall 4 octaves. Specifies the degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way right. For example, if this parameter is set to "12, " the pitch will rise one octave when the pitch bend lever is moved to the right-most position. Adjusts the pitch LFO depth for OSC1/2. 16 Screen reference OSC1/2 screen 1 1.

Delay Time (LFO Delay Time) specifies the time elapsed before the LFO effect is applied (the effect continues) after the key is pressed (or released). Specifies the time over which the LFO amplitude will reach the maximum. SINE: Sine wave TRI: Triangle wave SAW: Sawtooth wave SQR: Square wave RND: Random wave TAP: Trapezoidal wave S&H: Sample & Hold wave (one time per cycle, LFO value is changed) CHAOS: Chaos wave This specifies whether the LFO cycle will be synchronized to begin when the key is pressed (ON) or not (OFF). Specifies how deeply the LFO will affect the volume of the oscillator. 2. PITCH ENV1/2, PW ENV1/2 Parameter DEPTH A D S R Value -63­+63 0­127 0­127 0­127 0­127 Description Specifies the depth of the envelope. Specifies the attack time of the envelope (the time from when you press a key until the envelope level reaches the maximum value). Specifies the decay time of the envelope (the time from when the envelope level reaches the maximum value until it falls to a constant value). Specifies the sustain level of the envelope (the level at which the envelope remains constant). Specifies the release time of the envelope (the time from when you release a key until the envelope level reaches 0). 3. TVA ENV1/2 Parameter A D S R Value 0­127 0­127 0­127 0­127 Description Specifies the attack time of the envelope (the time from when you press a key until the envelope level reaches the maximum value). Specifies the decay time of the envelope (the time from when the envelope level reaches the maximum value until it falls to a constant value). Specifies the sustain level of the envelope (the level at which the envelope remains constant). Specifies the release time of the envelope (the time from when you release a key until the envelope level reaches 0). 17 Screen reference TVF screen 1 1.
