Beyond the basics 9.1 Functions for the Upper Tone Velocity sensitivity (KBD VELOCITY) The [KBD VELOCITY] button allows you to select whether or not the Upper Tone should be velocity sensitive. The term “velocity sensitivity” refers to the fact that the volume and timbre of a note change in response to the force (or speed) with which you strike a key. All acoustic instruments (piano, violin, flute, drums, etc.) are velocity sensitive. The harder you play, the louder and brighter the resulting notes will be, which creates a perfectly natural effect. (That explains why the KBD VELOCITY function is on every time you power on the EG-101.) If the EG-101 is your first musical instrument ever, you may feel distracted by the volume and timbre variations of the notes you play in the Upper section. That is why we’ve included a button that allows you to switch off the EG-101’s velocity sensitivity. Press the [KBD VELOCITY] button to switch off the EG-101's velocity sensitivity (indicator goes dark). Press it again to once again activate the KBD VELOCITY function. Apart from the “distraction factor”, you could take advantage of this function for playing organ parts (using the Tones in the R1 Group/Bank). Organs are not velocity sensitive, so that switching off KBD VELOCITY provides a more natural “feel”. However, our Roland engineers knew that organs are not velocity sensitive when they created Portamento for the Upper part Portamento is a realtime effect that produces smoother transitions between the notes you play. Instead of jumping in semitone steps (as you would expect), the pitch glides from one note to the next whenever the Portamento time is higher than 0. The higher the value you set, the slower the glide. This effect is particularly useful for synthesizer or gypsy violin parts. 1. Press the [PORTAMENTO] button to switch on the effect (indicator lights). ÎT □ a Is 2. Play a few notes in the Upper section of the keyboard. If neither the MODE [RPS] nor the [ARRANGER] indicator lights, you can play anywhere on the keyboard. Otherwise, play in the right half. The Upper Tone is now monophonic, which means that you will only hear one note at a time. 3. Hold down the [PORTAMENTO] button until its indicator starts flashing. a a □ ii The display now shows the currently set Portamento Time value (30). these Tones. The EG-10 l’s velocity sensitivity is therefore used for alternating between a “mellower” and a more “aggressive” sound (a function called velocity switching). This allows you to simulate several actions an organ player performs in realtime - simply by varying the force with which you strike the keys. For instance: organ players sometimes speed up (or slow down) the speed of the speaker rotation, or change the drawbar settings. You can achieve comparable effects simply by playing harder and softer. In short, once you’ve overcome the initial intricacies of a velocity sensitive keyboard, you should leave KBD VELOCITY on at all times. 4. Use the [TEMPOA/ALUE] buttons to change the value. Press A to increase the Portamento Time. This slows down the transitions between the notes. Press ▼ to lower the value and speed up the transitions. The setting range is 0-127. 5. Press the [PORTAMENTO] button again to switch off the Portamento function (indicator goes dark). o Roland EG-101 Owner's Manual 9.2 Transpose The Transpose function changes the pitch of the notes and chords you play. This is particularly useful if you've practised a song in a different key than the one you are asked to play it in when you accompany a singer whose voice is too high or too low for "your" way of performing the song. Instead of figuring out what other keys you need to press in order to accommodate the singer, you can set the required Transpose value and go on playing the song the way you practised it while sounding in a different key. See the example to the right. No transposition (C major) The above is useful for playing melodies and feeding the Arranger with chords, which is why Transpose only applies to the Upper Tone and the Arranger. Another use for this function is when you drum on the EG-lOl’s keyboard (see “Drumming with the EG-101” on page 10). The Drum Sets provide a lot more sounds than can be triggered via the 49 keys. By activating the Transpose function (after selecting a Drum Set), you literally shift the keyboard towards the left or the right so that the keys trigger other drum sounds. See the example below. The same applies to a positive transposition of the drums, but in the opposite direction. That is, the 909 Bass Drum sound (white on black) is shifted to the left and can no longer be played via the keyboard. In return, other sounds are available.
