Roland RS-5 - Using Knobs to Modify Sound

Chapter 4. Changing Tones in Real Time
Using a knob to modify the
sound
You can use the six panel knobs to modify Tones in real time.
Knob functions change depending on whether [ARPEGGIO/
CONTROL] and/or [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] are switched on
or off.
fig.R04-07
* The effect is applied to both the Upper Part and Lower Part
when Key Mode is set to Split and Dual.
When a knob is turned, the function assigned to the knob
and its value appear temporarily in the display.

When [ARPEGGIO/CONTROL] is Off
The six knobs can be used to change the values of Tone
parameters, as indicated on the panel.
LFO RATE Knob: Tone LFO Rate (p. 110)
LFO DEPTH Knob: Tone LFO Depth (p. 110)
ENVELOPE ATTACK Knob: Tone Envelope Attack Time
(p. 110)
ENVELOPE RELEASE Knob: Tone Envelope Release Time
(p. 110)
FILTER CUTOFF Knob: Tone Filter Cutoff (p. 110)
FILTER RESONANCE Knob: Tone Filter Resonance (p. 110)
* The effect achieved with the two LFO knobs differs depending
on whether [LFO ON/OFF] is switched on or off. When [LFO
ON/OFF] is off, the LFO alters the pitch (vibrato effect). When
[LFO ON/OFF] is on, the LFO changes the Filter Cutoff
frequency (wah effect).
* Pressing [LFO ON/OFF] when Key Mode is set to Split or
Dual sets the same LFO Filter Sw value in both of the Part's
Tones.
When [ARPEGGIO/CONTROL] is On
Using the four LFO and ENVELOPE knobs, you can control
parameters that you select. The functions affected when the
knobs are turned can be set in the same manner as with the
Modulation lever.
For a description of the settings values, refer to (p. 71).
To make the settings, select one of the “CONTROL 1–
CONTROL 4” (Knob Assign) in Step 4 (p. 72).
fig.R04-09
* You can use the two FILTER panel knobs to change the
parameter values for the Tone appearing in the display.
When [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] is On
With [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] set at ON, each press of
[ARPEGGIO/CONTROL] takes you to the next state for the
indicator, among three possible choices: lit, flashing, or
extinguished.
When [ARPEGGIO/CONTROL] is flashing, you can control
the Arpeggio parameters using the four LFO and
ENVELOPE knobs.
C1: Accent Rate (p. 77)
C2: Shuffle Rate (p. 77)
C3: Octave Range (p. 77)
C4: Tempo (p. 76)
* You can use the two FILTER panel knobs to change the
parameter values for the Tone appearing in the display.
Switching to the Value at the
Current Knob Positions (MANUAL)
fig.R04-10
When you press [MANUAL], the parameters assigned to the
six knobs are set to the values at the current knob positions.
* This is applied to both the Upper Part and Lower Part when
Key Mode is set to Split and Dual.
