Roland SH-32 用户手册

If you press [VALUE ▲] while the Legato function is on, “

” is 

displayed, and the SH-32 switches to a retrigger-type legato. When 
employing “Legato On” (as explained above), a smooth legato effect 
can be obtained. However, the limitations of the sound generator’s 
internal processing mean that there may be times when the pitch 
does not change correctly when you jump to a key range that is not 
adjacent to the current range (for example, the pitch may peak out). 

In such cases, if you select “

” (retrigger type), then while the 

legato may lose a degree of fluidity, you can achieve a legato effect in 
which the pitch changes correctly over a wider key range.

When you have finished making the settings, press [EXIT], causing 
the [LEGATO] indicator light to go off.

When using glissando and other effects that create a continuous 
change in the pitch while Legato is on, the pitch may not rise 
beyond a certain fixed point, or there may be other limitations on 
the range over which the pitch can change.

When the Unison function is on, then the sound of the currently 
selected Patch is divided into four separate sounds (oscillators), 
which are then layered, providing a fatter, more substantial sound.

Press [UNISON], causing its indicator to light, to turn the effect on.

• Patches automatically switch to a single note when the Unison 

function is used. When the Unison and Solo (p. 61) functions are 
switched on at the same time, then the [SOLO] indicator to light 
up.

• The Unison function cannot be used in Patches that use

Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from the 
first-played key to the next-played key.

Press [PORTAMENTO], causing the indicator to light or blink, to 
turn on portamento. When the indicator is lit, the portamento is 
applied continuously; when the indicator is blinking, portamento is 
applied only when you play legato (pressing one key before 
releasing the previous key).

When using glissando and other effects that create a continuous 
change in the pitch while Legato is on, the pitch may not rise 
beyond a certain fixed point, or there may be other limitations on 
the range over which the pitch can change.

Applying portamento while [SOLO] is on provides an effect 
similar to the use of the slide technique on a violin.

When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the 
pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the 
next note to take more time.

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

This creates a sort of instability in the sound, like that from an analog 
synthesizer.

Press [ANALOG FEEL], causing the indicator to light, then press 
[VALUE ▼/▲] to set the value (from 000 to 127). When you have 
finished making the settings, press [EXIT], causing the [ANALOG 
FEEL] indicator light to go off.
