Roland Chorus Echo RE-501 User Manual

USING THE RE-501
Example 1:
For adding spatial effects to keyboard and vocal
music. Set the controls for the desired effect.
Example 2:
For producing spatial effects with very long
delays for a science fiction-like effect. Good input
sounds are those which are relatively sustaining
and have a slow attack.
This setting uses sound-on-sound with a long
delay.
Example 3:
With the REPEAT control 8 set so as to produce
a delay of from 0.55 to 1.8 seconds, individual
phrases can be joined together for a continuous
effect.
TO REPLACE TAPE
CLEANING
•Remove the five nuts and the acrylic cover.
•Remove the old tape; clean all surfaces that come in contact with the
tape, including bearings, heads, guides, motor shaft, etc. Use tape
head cleaner.
•Place the new tape-pack as shown. Pull the tape out and set it as
shown. It is a good idea to avoid direct contact of your skin and the
exposed tape by wearing clean cotton gioves.
•Replace the acrylic cover. The empty tape-pack may be left in place
until it is time to change tapes again.
•Turn on the power switch to run the tape. Approximately five minutes
of running is required to insure good tape-to-head contact.
•The replacement tape RT-11 should last over 300 hours.
The part indicated with arrows should be cleaned regularly in order to
maintain good sound quality. Pay particular attention to the tape heads.
Use cotton-tipped swabs and rubbing alcohol or a commercial tape
head cleaner.
