Roland SPD-20 Drums User Manual


 
Adjusting the Volume (LEVEL)
This parameter determines the volume (015). At a setting of 0 there will be no sound.
When FX SEND in the SOUND parameter group is set above 0, the effects sound alone will be heard
even if the LEVEL parameter is set to 0.
Adjusting the Pitch (PITCH)
This parameter determines the pitch of the Instrument (
-
24
+
24). Each step will change the pitch by a
semitone (100 cents).
For some Instruments, raising the pitch beyond a certain point will not be possible.
Adjusting the Decay (DECAY)
This parameter adjusts the decay of the Instrument (
-
31
+
31). Higher settings will result in a longer
decay time.
fig.20
For some Instruments, raising the decay beyond a certain point will not be possible.
When the connected pedal is assigned to “HH” (p. 54), the decay parameter has no effect on Hi-Hat
Cymbals for pedal control (instruments H01–H17).
Changing the decay setting for a Phrase Loop Instrument (p. 88) changes the attenuation time at the
end of the loop.
Adjusting the Stereo Position (PAN)
This parameter determines the stereo position of the Instrument (L7Ctrr7/rnd). A setting of L7 is far
left, Ctr is center, and r7 is far right. At the rnd setting, the stereo position will change randomly each
time you strike the pad.
fig.21
This parameter is meaningful only when the SPD-20 is connected to a stereo audio system.
