Roland RS-09 - COMPONENT FUNCTIONS CONTINUED; STRINGS ATTACK TIME; ENVELOPE CONTROLS; ENSEMBLE MODE SELECTION

STRINGS ATTACK (Attack Time)
This slider controls how the sound is pro¬
duced from the minute a key is pressed.
The further you move it upward the greater
the decrease in speed of the attack time.
*The function of ATTACK does not occur
unless the key is replayed. Therefore for
legato performance, the first note is the
only note where ATTACK has any in¬
fluence on.
ES ENVELOPE
RELEASE (Release Time)
This slider adjusts the time it takes for a
sound to fade out after a key is released.
The further you slide it upward, the longer
the release time.
MODE (Release Mode)
I . W h e n a new key is played, a sound
is produced after the sound of the
key previously pressed fades out
completely.
II . T h e release note will remain until
the established time is up. The re¬
playing of a key does not affect
this function.
m ENSEMBLE (Ensemble Mode)
This switches the ensemble effect between:
I . D y n a m i c organization with a rich
ensemble effect.
II . N a t u r al ensemble effect.
m TUNING
This knob controls the pitch of RS-09. It
works simultaneously for both the organ
section and the strings section and the varia¬
tion range is over high-low, 25 cent.
The center of the knob is tuned to A (442
Hz}. Use this level when tuning to other
instruments.
«BEFORE STARTING*
•Power supply indicated on the name plate
must be used. In case that the power sup¬
ply in your district is different from it, it
must be adjusted, using the voltage
regulator.
•Because it is operated by AC power,this
instrument may sometimes generates little
heat.
This, however is not a sign of machine
failure.
«NOTES»
•Keep away from interferences that induce
high levels of noise. Such as flourescent
lamps, neon lights and transformers as
much as possible.
•Avoid the use of this instrument in places
that are dusty, of high temperature or high
humidity.
•Clean the control pane! with neutral deter¬
gent. Use a soft, dry cloth for the wooden
parts. Do not use Solvents such as paint
thinner.
