Roland RD-2000 Parameter Guide

Detailed Tone Settings (TONE DESIGNER)
Parameter Value Explanation
Decay Time
Oset
-64–+63
This is the time over which the
volume decays after the attack
is nished.
The time it takes for the
volume to fall increases as the
value is raised; lowering the
value decreases the decay
time.
* With some Tones, the eect
does not work as intended.
Release Time
Oset
The time it takes after the
key is released for a sound to
become inaudible.
Higher values produce longer
decay; set lower values for a
clear-cut sound.
* With some Tones, the eect
does not work as intended.
Cuto Oset
Adjusts how much the lter is
opened.
Higher values brighten the
sound; lower values make the
sound seem darker.
* With some Tones, the eect
does not work as intended.
Resonance
Oset
Emphasizes the overtones
in the vicinity of the cuto
frequency, adding character
to the sound. Excessively
high settings can produce
oscillation, causing the sound
to distort.
Higher values strengthen the
distinctive characteristics of
the sound; lower values reduce
these characteristics.
* With some Tones, the eect
does not work as intended.
Vibrato Rate
Oset
Adjusts the vibrato speed
(the rate at which the pitch
is modulated). The pitch is
modulated more rapidly for
higher settings, and more
slowly with lower settings.
Vibrato Depth
Oset
Adjusts the depth of the
vibrato eect (the depth at
which the pitch is modulated).
The pitch is modulated more
greatly for higher settings, and
less with lower settings.
Vibrato Delay
Oset
For each part, this adjusts
the time until vibrato (pitch
modulation) begins.
Higher settings produce a
longer delay time before
vibrato begins, while lower
settings produce a shorter
time.
Editing Individual Keys (Indiv. Voicing)
NOTE
5 These settings are available only when editing certain piano
tones.
5 For details on the tones to which this applies, refer to “Tone
List” (p. 70).
1. In the procedure “Detailed Tone Settings
(TONE DESIGNER)” (p. 10), choose “Indiv. Voicing”
and press the [ENTER] button.
2. Use the cursor buttons to select a parameter.
3. Press a key to specify the key that you want to edit.
4. Use the [DEC] [INC] buttons or the value dial to edit
the values.
TUNING
You can make ne adjustments to the tuning of each key.
Parameter Value Explanation
Type
OFF,
PRST
(PRESET),
USER
Selects the type of tuning.
PRST (PRESET) is the tuning
curve that’s factory-set for the
RD-2000.
If you choose USER, you’ll be
able to specify the tuning of
each key.
Value -50.0–+50.0
Allows for ne adjustments to
the tuning of each key in steps
of 0.1 cents, over a range of
-50.0 to +50.0 cents.
LEVEL
This is a ne adjustment to the volume of each key.
Parameter Value Explanation
Type
OFF,
PRST
(PRESET)*,
USER
If you choose USER, you’ll be
able to edit the volume of each
key.
Value -50–0
Lower values cause the key to
be softer than the other keys.
* V-Piano Technology tones only (tone numbers S01–S10)
CHARACTER
Relative to the value of the “Character” parameter in Piano
Designer, this lets you adjust the oset value for each key.
Parameter Value Explanation
Type
OFF,
PRST
(PRESET)*,
USER
If you choose USER, you’ll be
able to edit the Character
oset value of each key.
Value -5–0–+5
Higher values produce a
harder sound; lower values
make the tone more mellow.
* V-Piano Technology tones only (tone numbers S01–S10)
