Roland CD-2 Manuel D’Utilisation

When creating a music CD from tracks on a CF card, you can 
apply a mastering effect to eliminate inconsistencies in the 
volume across the various frequency ranges, making the 
music CD more professional sounding.

You can choose one of 25 different Mastering Effect patches. 
Choose the patch that is most suitable for the music CD you 
want to create.

• You can’t use a Mastering Effect at the same time as the 

other effects (

The Mastering Effect screen appears.

• If an effect (

MASTERING? FX will be Off” message appears.

Press the [ENTER] button to turn off the effect; the 
mastering patch screen appears.

• For a list of patches, refer to the table on the right.

• If you choose a selection other than “Off,” the 

Mastering Effects will be on, and [MASTERING] 
will light.

• After selecting a Mastering Effect patch, you can 

play back the CF card to audition the sound of the 
chosen patch.

Proceed to Step 2 on Page 46 to write a CD with 
Mastering Effects applied.

• If you’re using Mastering Effects, it will take longer to 

write the tracks.

The writing time will be approximately 1.5 times the 
length of the tracks.

• When the tracks have been written, Mastering Effects 

will automatically be turned “Off.”

• If you don’t want to use Mastering Effects, choose “Off” 

in Step 2. Alternatively, press the [MASTERING] button 
once again.When MASTERING Effects are “Off,”
