Since it naturally handles MIDI bulk dumps, you can use the VC-1 to create your own original tunes exactly as you would with your D-50.
vc1_for_XT_e1 7 ページ 2005年3月8日 火曜日 午後12時55分 Introduction What is the digital synthesizer: D-50? The D-50, released in 1987, was Roland’s first fully digital synthesizer. Equipped with an LA (Linear Arithmetic Synthesis) format sound generator that combined PCM and subtractive synthesis, it opened the door to countless new sounds for levels of creativity surpassing anything up to that point.

A sound reverberated in an acoustic environment consists of three parts. First, you hear the direct sound as it travels from the source outward. Next the early reflection resounds once, or several time, from the walls, ceiling ,and floor.

By setting slightly different pitches, a detune effect can be obtained. Also, by lowering the pitch of the Upper Tone, and raising the pitch of the Lower Tone, the pitches of the Two Tones can become exactly the same. fig.

If you want to keep a patch whose settings you have edited, assign a name to the patch and then perform the Save operation.
vc1_for_XT_e1 27 ページ 2005年3月8日 火曜日 午後12時55分 Saving Patches You’ve Created Saving Patches Changes you make to sound settings are temporary, and will be lost if you turn off the power or select another sound. If you keep the modified sound, you must save it (PATCH WRITE). When you perform the save procedure, the data that previously occupied the save destination will be lost. However, the factory setting data can be recovered by performing the Factory Reset. (p. 28) 1.

If there is important data you’ve created that’s stored, all such data is discarded when a Factory Reset is performed. If you want to keep the existing data, save it as describe below. • Transmit it to an original D-50 (or an external MIDI device), and save it (p. 33).
vc1_for_XT_e1 29 ページ 2005年3月8日 火曜日 午後12時55分 Transferring Patches To and From the D-50/550 * You can use MIDI to transmit patch data (64 patches) saved on your D-50 and receive the data with the VC-1 (V-Synth XT). This procedure is known as “bulk load.” This is an easy and convenient way to take your own original patches (64 patches) created with the D-50 and use them with the VC-1. Conversely, you can also send patch data edited using the VC-1 via MIDI to the D-50. This procedure is called “bulk dump.

vc1_for_XT_e1 38 ページ 2005年3月8日 火曜日 午後12時55分 Overview of the VC-1 The Basic Concept of a Tone Throughout the process of programming the D-50, the operation remains simple and logical. You can think of the D-50 having powerful synthesizers built in. Each of these hypothetical synthesizers could behave like a convention analog synthesizer, or a PCM sampled synthesizer. Any combination of two synthesizers can achieve some remarkable cross-modulation effects. fig.

vc1_for_XT_e1 41 ページ 2005年3月8日 火曜日 午後12時55分 Overview of the VC-1 Structure of Tone Parameters Depending on which generators are selected in the Partial Block, greatly different Tone Parameters will be used. Some Tone Parameters used for the Synthesizer sound generators are irrelevant to the PCM generator. In a Structure with Ring modulation, some parameters of Partial 2 are automatically set to those of Partial 1. fig.

vc1_for_XT_e1 43 ページ 2005年3月8日 火曜日 午後12時55分 Creating a Patch With the VC-1, you have total control over a wide variety of settings. Each item that can be set is known as a “parameter.” When you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred to as “editing.” This chapter explains the procedures used in creating patches, and the functions of the patch parameters. There are two methods of sound creation. • Editing an existing sound.
