Roland Vs-880 - Manual (Page 33)

Vnt.Cn: Vintage condenser mic.
Use for vocals or acoustic instruments etc.
Flat: Mic with flat frequency response.
For cancelling the characteristics of the mic
used for recording.
* When you select a condenser-type mic simulator, the low
range response is strengthened. This may cause noise
transmitted from the mic stand to be emphasized. In this
case, either use a bass cut filter to cut the unwanted low
range, or equip the mic stand that you use at the time of
recording with an isolation mount (a mic holder that uses
rubber etc. to absorb vibration).
Phase
Normally you will set this to Normal.
In cases such as when mics are placed both in front of and
behind the instrument for recording, setting one of them to
Invert will produce a solid sound with a unified phase.
Normal: Same phase as the input
Invers: Opposite phase as the input
BCA/BCB (Bass cut filter channel A / channel B)
BassCut Off, On
Freq Thru, 20Ð2000 Hz
BassCut (Bass cut)
Turn the bass cut on/off. If this is off, the following items
will not be displayed.
Freq (Frequency)
Normally you will select Thru, and you can adjust the fre-
quency if the attack contains a section of low volume.
DSA/DSB (Distance channel A / channel B)
Distance Off, On
Prox.Fx -12Ð+12
Time 0Ð3000 cm
Distance
Turn Distance on/off. If this is off, the following items will
not be displayed.
Prox.Fx (Proximity effects)
Adjust the low frequency response that is affected by the
mic distance from the sound source. Adjustment in the [+]
direction will move the mic closer to the sound source, and
in the [-] direction will move it away from the sound source.
Time
This simulates the time difference due to distance from the
sound source.
LMA/LMB (Limiter channel A / channel B)
Limiter Off, On
Freq Thru, 20Ð2000 Hz
Level -60Ð24 dB
Thrsh -60Ð0 dB
Attack 0Ð100
Release 0Ð100
Limiter
Turn the limiter on/off. If this is off, the following items
will not be displayed.
Freq (Frequency)
Adjust the cutoff frequency of the level detection section.
With a setting of Thru, this will operate as a conventional
limiter.
Level
Adjust the output level.
Thrsh (Threshold)
Adjust the level at which the limiter will begin to function.
Attack
Adjust the time from when the input level exceeds the
threshold level until the limiter begins to be applied.
Release
Adjust the time from when the input level falls below the
threshold level until the limiter ceases to apply.
■ Adjusting the send level and
balance for all effects
You can now adjust the overall send level and balance of
each effect without affecting the effect send level (VS8F-1
ownerÕs manual p.9) and effect pan (VS8F-1 ownerÕs manu-
al p.9) that were set for each channel.
1. Press [EDIT(SOLO)] several times until the “MST EFF1
SND Lev=” display appears.
This display will not appear (the setting cannot be
made) if EFFECT-1 is inserted into another channel, or
inserted into the MASTER OUT jack.
2. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
EFF1 SND Lev (Effect 1 send level)
Adjust the send level. The default value is 100.
3. Press PARAMETER [ ].
The display will indicate ÒMST EFF1 SND Bal=Ó.
This display will not appear (the setting cannot be
made) if EFFECT-1 is inserted into another channel, or
into the MASTER OUT jack.
4. Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
EFF1 SND Bal (Effect 1 send balance)
Adjust the left/right volume balance. The initial value is 0
(center).
5. Press [PLAY(DISPLAY)].
You will return to Play condition.
The send level and balance can be adjusted for EFFECT-2 in
the same way.
< Distance (proximity effect) >
Microphones have a characteristic which causes the low
frequency range to be boosted when the sound source is
nearby. This setting simulates this phenomenon.
< Bass cut filter >
This is a filter that cuts unwanted low range noise, such
as pops. It simulates the bass cut switch that is found on
some mics.
