Roland FXWS04 Electronic Keyboard User Manual

When you first display the Routing screen, the Part parameter is set
according to your Kbd/Pad selection on the Patch Play screen. You can
change it manually on the Routing screen if you wish to.
When you choose KBD or PAD, the active MFX processor lights
green in the onscreen diagram. When:
KBD is selected—MFX 1 turns green to show that it’s
providing MFX processing for the keyboard’s patch or
rhythm set.
PAD is selected—MFX 2 turns green to show that it’s
providing MFX processing for the pads’ rhythm set or
patch.
The Routing Parameters
Beneath the Part box are two familiar-looking parameters:
OUT ASGN PATCH—is the Patch Out Assign parameter, re-
labeled to fit on this action-packed screen. It allows you to
use a common output setting for all of a patch’s tones or a
rhythm set’s drum keys by selecting MFX, A, B, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Retain individual control over the tones and drum keys by
setting OUT ASGN PATCH to Tone.
As you change the OUT ASGN PATCH value, you’ll see the signal-flow
diagram on the screen change to reflect your current setting. We’ll explain
the diagram in detail later.
TONE—When OUT ASGN PATCH is set to Tone, this
parameter becomes active. Use it to set the output routing
of the currently selected patch tone or drum key.
Basic Chorus and Reverb Settings
Since the chorus and reverb are shared by the keyboard and
pad sounds in Patch mode, the Chorus Source and Reverb
Source parameters let you use the chorus or reverb settings
programmed into the currently selected patch or rhythm set.
This is especially handy when a patch or rhythm set relies
heavily on its chorus or reverb setting in achieving its sound.
After setting these parameters as desired, you can tweak the
chorus and reverb settings for your current needs, as we’ll see
later.
Output and Send Levels
Along the left edge of the screen are three level parameters
that set the levels of the currently selected patch tone or
rhythm set drum key. Reading from top to bottom, they are:
Tone Out Level—This parameter sets the volume of the
currently selected tone or drum key.
Tone Chorus Send—This sets the amount of the selected
tone or drum key to be sent into the chorus. A higher value
means more chorus.
Tone Reverb Send—This parameter sets the amount of the
selected tone or drum key to be sent into the reverb. A
higher value means more reverb.
You can easily identify each of these parameters by the black
line running from its value into the corresponding processor.
While you set separate MFX and non-MFX chorus and reverb settings
during patch and rhythm set programming, on this screen you need only
set one set of chorus and reverb send parameters for a tone or drum key.
