Roland RS-70 业主指南

 

Patch Mode

 

To create a sound (patch) of your own on the RS-70, you will start 
with one of the existing patches (

 

), and edit it to 

create the desired sound. A sound you create can be saved as one of 
128 user patches.

 

Each item that can be set is known as a 

 

. When you 

change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred 
to as 

 

. 

 

Settings for the internal effects (reverb, chorus, multi-effect) are 
also saved as part of the patch settings. For details on editing the 
effect settings, refer to 

 

This chapter explains the procedures used in creating patches, and 
the functions of the patch parameters.

 

If you want to edit the sound of a rhythm set, refer to 

 

 

Including the parameters that can be controlled from the panel, a 
patch consists of the following types of settings.

• Settings used by the entire patch (Patch Common)

• Settings for each patch (Patch Tone)

Collectively, these are referred to as “

 

.”

On the RS-70, the sound of each patch is produced by combining two 
tones; the 

 

 and the 

 

setting lets you specify how these two tones will be sounded when 
you play the keyboard.

 

This setting is also valid when using Patch Audition.

 

The upper tone is played by all keys on the 
keyboard.

 

The keyboard will be split; the lower range plays the 
lower tone, and the upper range plays the upper tone.

 

You can change the point at which the lower and upper tones are 
divided (p. 56).

 

The upper and lower tones are layered to create a 
rich sound.

 

Now you can edit the patch parameters.

Use PAGE/CURSOR [

]/[

] to select the parameter that 

you want to edit.

It’s hard to create a new sound that’s exactly what you want if 
you just select a patch and modify its parameters at random. It 
makes sense to start with a patch whose sound is related to 
what you have in mind.

You can assign a different instrumental sound to each of the 
two tones (upper/lower) in a patch, and edit them 
independently. Use [DESTINATION TONE] to choose the tone 
to be edited; UPPER only, LOWER only, or both.

If the [KEY MODE] is SINGLE, the upper tone will always 
sound. If you want to hear only the lower tone while you 
edit, switch [KEY MODE] to DUAL, and turn the PATCH 
MODIFY section’s BALANCE knob all the way to the “L” 
position.

Since the RS-70’s effects have such a profound impact on its 
sounds, turn them off to listen to the sound itself so you can 
better evaluate the changes you’re making. Since you will hear 
the original sound of the patch itself when the effects are turned 
off, the results of your modifications will be easier to hear. 
Actually, sometimes just changing effects settings can give you 
the sound you want.
