Roland S-1

Using the functions
65
Controller
Explanation
Pad [4] (LAST)
Sets the length (the last step) of the selected pattern (1–64).
Pad [5] (OSC DRAW)
You can use a square wave oscillator to generate and play original waveforms.
For details, refer to “Creating original waveforms for the oscillator (OSC DRAW)(P.29)”.
* Pulse width modulation (PWM) is not applied.
Sľ
(Switch)
ForN
(Form)
NULt (Multiply)
Pad [6] (OSC CHOP)
Use this to chop the waveforms that are generated by the oscillator to create radical harmonics
(overtones).
For details, refer to “Chopping a waveform and emphasizing its harmonics (OSC CHOP)(P.31)”.

Pad [7] (FILTER KYBD)
Changes the filter cutoff point according to the pitch (0–255).
Pad [8] (ARPEGGIO
ON)
Turns the arpeggiator on/off.
Pad [9] (ARPEGGIO

Selects the type of phrase played by the arpeggiator.

Pad [10] (ARPEGGIO
RATE)
Selects the note lengths played by the arpeggiator.
1_4
(Quarter note)
1_8
(Eighth note)
1_16
(Sixteenth note)
1_32
(Thirty-second note)
8t
(Eighth-note triplet)
16t
(Sixteenth-note triplet)
32t (Thirty-second-note triplet)
Pad [11] (CLEAR NOTE)
Erases all notes in the selected pattern.
When a step is selected, this deletes only the notes for that step.
Once “
CLr.n
” blinks in the display, press pad [2] (ENTER) to execute. “
donE
” is shown once the
operation is finished.
Pad [12] (CLEAR
MOTION)
Erases all motions in the selected pattern.
When a step is selected, this deletes only the motions for that step.
Once “
CLr.N
” blinks in the display, press pad [2] (ENTER) to execute. “
donE
” is shown once the
operation is finished.
If you turn a knob before executing this operation, and a knob parameter is recorded in the motion,
“
CLr
” is shown, and only that parameter is erased.
If a knob parameter is not recorded, “
nonE
” is indicated.
What’s a motion?
Motions are used to record your operations (such as when turning the knobs) into the sequencer and
play them back.
On the S-1, you can record eight types of knob motions (or MIDI control change messages
corresponding to the parameters) and MIDI pitch bend data for each pattern.
Pad [13] (DELAY)
Configures the delay.
ƞSyn
(Delay Sync): Synchronizes the delay time to the tempo (OFF, ON).
tiNE
(Time): Sets the delay time.
● When Delay Sync is OFF:Specifies the time (1–740 ms).
● When Delay Sync is ON:Specifies a note length (128, 64t, 128d, ...4t, 8d, 1_4).
LEv
(Level): Adjusts the volume of the delay sound (0–255).
Fdbk
(Feedback): Adjusts the amount of feedback (repetition), from 0 to 255.
LƜCt
(Low Cut): Cuts the frequencies below the frequency that you set (FLAT, 20–800 Hz). No
frequencies are cut when this is set to “FLAt ”.
