Some effect parameters (such as Rate or Delay Time) can be set in
terms of a note value.
Such parameters have a num/note switch that lets you specify whether
you will set the value as a note value or as a numerical value.
If you want to set Rate (Delay Time) as a numerical value, set the num/
note switch to “Hz” (“msec”). If you want to set it as a note value, set
the num/note switch to “NOTE.”
* If the Rate is specified as a note value, the modulation will be
synchronized with the tempo when you play back SMF song
data.
note:
fig.MFX-note2.e_88
If you specify the delay time as a note value, slowing down the
tempo will not change the delay time beyond a certain length.
This is because there is an upper limit for the delay time; if the
delay time is specified as a note value and you slow down the
tempo until this upper limit is reached, the delay time cannot
change any further. This upper limit is the maximum value that
can be specified when setting the delay time as a numerical
value.
The following 3D effects utilize RSS (Roland Sound Space) technology
to create a spaciousness that cannot be produced by delay, reverb,
chorus, etc.

29: 3D CHORUS

31: 3D STEP FLANGER
When using these effects, we recommend that you place your
speakers as follows. Also, make sure that the speakers are at a
sufficient distance from the walls on either side.
fig.33-002
If the left and right speakers are too far apart, or if there is too much
reverberation, the full 3D effect may not appear.
Each of these effects has an “Output Mode” parameter. If the sound
from the OUTPUT jacks is to be heard through speakers, set this
parameter to “SPEAKER.” If the sound is to be heard through
headphones, set it to “PHONES.” This will ensure that the optimal 3D
effect will be heard. If this parameter is not set correctly, the full 3D
effect may not appear.
