    ● P art Channels To each of this unit's 32 Parts, there is assigned an instrument and also a Channel. Channels are a concept used in MIDI to distinguish notes that should be played by dif- ferent instruments in an ensemble. Normally, there is no need to change the channel of a Part when using this unit. However it may sometimes be interestin ...

  • Roland SC-88 Pro - page 25

    ● Which MIDI IN will be used b y each P ar t? This unit has two MIDI IN jacks. This is because since there are only 16 MIDI chan- nels, it is necessary to have two MIDI jacks in order to play 32 Parts. Parts are classified into Group A (A01 — A16) and Group B (B01 — B16), with six- teen in each group. The MIDI channel assigned to each Part is ...

    ● How sim ultaneous note number s and V oices are related The sounds of this unit consist of units called “ Voices ” . There is a limit to how many of these “ Voices ” can sound at once, and in the case of this unit, up to 64 simultaneous voices can be used. Some sounds (Instruments) use 1 voice and others use 2 voices (Instrument list, p ...

    ■ P ar t parameters f or performance These parameters determine how each Part behaves when it receives MIDI mes- sages. The way in which the sound changes in response to messages such as velocity, pitch bend, modulation and aftertouch will be determined by the settings of these para- meters. [1] P arameter s that can be set directly using the b u ...

    The Drum1 and Drum2 Parts allow you to simultane- ously use two drum sets. For example if Drum Parts are set as shown below, when you change the STAN- DARD1 drum set of Part A10 to the TR-808, the selec- tion for Part A12 will also change to TR-808. For details on how to assign a drum set to a Part, refer to p.18. Part name (Part Mode) Name of drum ...

    For example, if you assign two Parts to the same MIDI channel and set the Keyboard Range of one to C-1 — B3 and the other to C4 — G9. Then you could assign different sounds to each Part, and play two different sounds on either side of C4. Or, you could set the key- board ranges of two Parts to overlap, and layer the two sounds. * Be aware that ...

    (Example) Vibrato editing display ● What each parameter does On this unit, parameter settings are made for each Part. In other words, parameter values belong to Parts, and not to sounds (Instruments). For example if you set Vibrato Rate to +20 and then select a different sound for that Part, the Vibrato Rate of +20 will apply to the newly selecte ...

  • Roland SC-88 Pro - page 35

    ❍ Cutoff Freq (Cutoff Frequency): -64 — +63 Positive settings of Cutoff Freq will raise the cutoff fre- quency. Negative settings will lower the cutoff frequen- cy.
