Roland AE-30 - Tone;Partial;Amp

44
Tone Parameters
Parameter Value Explanation
AMP
Level
0–127
Sets the volume of the partial.
This setting is useful primarily for
adjusting the volume balance between
partials.
Velocity Curve FIXED, 1–7
Selects one of the following seven curves
that determine how keyboard dynamics
will aect the volume. Set this to “FIXED”
if you don’t want the volume of the
partial to be aected by the keyboard
velocity.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Velocity Sens -100–+100
Set this when you want the volume of the
partial to change depending on the force
with which you press the keys.
Set this to a positive (+) value to have the
changes in partial volume increase the
more forcefully the keys are played; to
make the partial play more softly as you
play harder, set this to a negative (-) value.
Bias Level -100–+100
Adjusts the angle of the volume change
that will occur in the selected Bias Direction.
Higher values will produce greater
change. Negative (-) values will invert the
change direction.
Bias Position 0–127
Species the key relative to which the
volume will be modied.
A setting of 64 is the C4 key (middle C).
Bias Direction
Selects the direction in which change will occur starting from
the Bias Position.
LOWER
The volume will be modied for the
keyboard area below the Bias Point.
UPPER
The volume will be modied for the
keyboard area above the Bias Point.
LOWER&UPPER
The volume will be modied symmetrically
toward the left and right of the Bias Point.
ALL
The volume changes linearly with the bias
point at the center.
Pan L64–63R
Sets the pan of the partial. “L64” is far left,
“0” is center, and “63R” is far right.
Pan Keyfollow -100–+100
Use this parameter if you want key
position to aect panning.
Positive (+) value will cause notes higher
than C4 key (center C) to be panned
increasingly further toward the right,
and negative (-) value will cause notes
higher than C4 key (center C) to be
panned toward the left. Higher values will
produce greater change.

Key
Rand Pan Depth 0–63
Use this parameter when you want the
stereo location to change randomly each
time you press a key.
Higher values will produce a greater
amount of change.
Alt Pan Depth L64–63R
This setting causes panning to be
alternated between left and right each
time a key is pressed.
Higher values will produce a greater
amount of change. “L” or “R” settings will
reverse the order in which the pan will
alternate between left and right.
For example if two partials are set to “L”
and “R” respectively, the panning of the
two tones will alternate each time they
are played.
Parameter Value Explanation
Vibrato Level Sens -100–+100
Species how the program’s Modify Vib
Depth aects the Amp Depth of LFO1.
Stereo Width 0–100
Adjusts the amount of width when
outputting in stereo.
This has no eect when outputting in
mono.
AMP ENVELOPE
T1 Velocity Sens -100–+100
Specify this if you want keyboard
dynamics to aect the AMP envelope’s
Time 1.
If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for
strongly played notes, set this parameter
to a positive (+) value.
If you want it to be slowed down, set this
to a negative (-) value.
T4 Velocity Sens -100–+100
Specify this if you want key release
velocity to aect the AMP envelope’s
Time 4.
If you want Time 4 to be speeded up for
quickly released notes, set this parameter
to a positive (+) value.
If you want it to be slowed down, set this
to a negative (-) value.
Time Keyfollow -100–+100
Specify this if you want keyboard position
to aect the AMP envelope’s times
(Time 2–Time 4).
Relative to the AMP envelope times at
the C4 key (middle C), positive (+) values
cause the times to shorten as you play
higher on the keyboard, and negative
(-) values cause the times to lengthen.
Higher values will produce greater
change.

LFO Trigger Switch OFF, ON
If this is ON, the amp envelope is cyclically
retriggered by LFO1.
* This is valid when the Envelope Mode
(p. 47) is “SUSTAIN.”
Time1 (Attack)

Time3 (Decay)
Time4 (Release)
0–1023
Specify the AMP envelope times
(Time 1–Time 4).
Higher settings lengthen the time until
the next volume level is reached. (For
example, Time 2 is the time over which
Level 1 will change to Level 2.)
* If ADSR Envelope Switch (p. 47) is
“ON,” the Time 2 has no eect.
Level1
Level2
Level3 (Sustain)
0–1023
Specify the AMP envelope levels
(Level 1–Level 3).
These specify the amount of change
at each point relative to the reference
volume (the partial level value specied
in the Amp screen).
