Roland SH-32 ユーザーズマニュアル

You can synchronize the LFO cycle to the tempo specified with [TAP 
(BPM)] (p. 74). When you press [BEAT SYNC], causing its indicator 
to light up, the SH-32 is readied for synchronization.

When CLOCK, a System function, is set to “

” (MIDI), you 

The LFO tempo synchronization is effective only for the 
modulation rate. It does not particularly have any control over 
the phase (timing of the start and peak). Furthermore, even 
when the LFO is synchronized with the tempo, the internal BPM 
and MIDI clock operate independently. Although perfect 
synchronization may not always be maintained when large 
loads are placed on the sound generator section, it does not 
indicate a malfunction. If necessary, press [KEY SYNC] to turn 
on that function, then retransmit Note On at the appropriate 
cycle.

When [BPM SYNC] is on (indicator is lit), the synchronization of the 
modulation is set in terms of the number of beats.

The indicator alternately lights and goes out each time the button is 
pressed. You can select from these settings: 8, 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4. 
For example, when “4” is selected, the length of the LFO cycle is four 
beats. Similarly, when “1/4” is selected the cycle is one-fourth of a 
beat (a sixteen note) in length.

The blinking of the [BEAT/CYCLE] indicator has nothing to do 
with whether tempo synchronization is switched on or off, but 
instead indicates the selected LFO cycle rate. 

Sets the time for the LFO’s oscillation to reach the maximum level.

Press [FADE IN], causing the indicator to blink, then press [VALUE 
▼/▲] to set the value (from 000 to 127). When you have finished 
making the settings, either press [FADE IN] once more, or press 
[EXIT], causing the [FADE IN] indicator light to go off.

Press [KEY SYNC], causing the indicator to light, when 
synchronizing the timing at which keys are pressed and the start of 
the LFO cycle.

If [KEY SYNC] is off while the PWM function is in use, the sonic 
qualities of the attack portion are not constant, but instead 
resemble the behavior of an analog synthesizer’s PWM.

These provide useful settings for use with sax, flute, or other 
monophonic tones, or in other situations such as when playing solos 
using only one sound.

Each note played when you press a key is crisp and distinct.

Press [SOLO], causing the indicator to light, to turn on the Solo function.

Using this in combination with portamento (p. 62) smooths the 
sound of the performance.

Only when playing legato, where each following key is pressed 
before the preceding key is released. This allows you to perform 
smoothly, with no breaks between the notes.

Press [LEGATO], causing the indicator to light, then press [VALUE
