Roland RE-201 Interface
The RE-201 interface is true to the original hardware, with a few customiza-
tions to bring it into the digital era.
The original mic and instrument volume controls have been replaced with
echo/reverb pan controls and an input control. We’ve also added a “Tape
Age” switch to emulate new and older tape, a Wet Solo control for use as a
bus/send effect, and an output volume control for utility. The clever “Splice”
switch allows the user to trigger the tape splice at will.
Tempo synchronization controls round out the modernization of this classic
analog processor. The fabulous sound of the original is untouched!
Roland RE-201 Controls
Each feature of the Roland RE-201interface is detailed below.
Peak Level The Peak lamp indicates when transient signal peaks and clipping are
detected just after the input volume control. It begins illuminating at ap-
proximately –2 dB to –1.5 dB, then gets brighter as the level in-
creases.
VU Meter The VU meter indicates the average signal that is about to
be written to the “tape.” Used in conjunction with the Peak
lamp, an indication of signal level can be deduced.
