Roland VS-1680 - Manual (Page 127)

Tone Treble
This adjusts the volume of the Tape Echo sound’s high
end.
Pan HeadS
Pan HeadM
Pan HeadL
These adjust the pan settings for each of the short,
middle, and long delay playback heads individually.
This function is not featured on Roland’s RE-201.
WahFlutter Rate (Wah/Flutter Rate)
This adjusts the wavering of the pitch that occurs with
deterioration or unevenness in the tape. The higher
the value, the more intense the wavering effect.
EfxLvl (Effect Level)
This adjusts the volume level of the Tape Echo effect.
DirLvl (Direct Level)
This adjusts the volume level of the direct sound.
AnFl (Analog Flanger)
This is a stereo analog flanger effect that simulates
Roland’s SBF-325.
Sw (Switch)
This turns the analog flanger on and off.
Feedback
Feedback refers to returning the delayed signal (out-
put) back to the delay . This control adjusts the
amount of that signal that is returned. The flanger
effect intensifies the higher the value is set. Setting the
value too high can make lead to oscillation in the
sound.
Modulation Freq
(Modulation Frequency)
This adjusts the center frequency to which the flanger
effect is applied. This changes the pitch of the flanger
effect’s metallic sound.
Modulation Rate
This adjusts the flanger’s modulation rate.
Modulation Depth
This adjusts the depth of the flanger modulation.
ChB (Channel B Modulation)
You should usually set this to “Nor.” Setting this to
“Inv” inverts the Channel B flanger effect.
Mode
This is used to select the flanger effect type.
FL1:
A general monaural flanger
FL2: A stereo flanger that moves the sound around
in the stereo field
FL3: Cross mix flanger that gives a more intense
effect
CHO: Chorus effect
Phase ChA (Phase Channel A)
Phase ChB (Phase Channel B)
This is used in selecting phase when mixing the direct
sound and flanger sound. Set to “Nor” for normal
phase; select “Inv” to invert the phase. This changes
the breadth of the sound, making sound “wider.”
Check the sound to assure you have the appropriate
setting.
AnPh (Analog Phaser)
The VS-1680’s features two analog phasers arranged in
parallel, so they can be used in stereo.
Sw (Switch)
This turns the Analog Phaser on and off.
Mode
This selects the number of levels (4 or 8) for the phase
effect.
Freq (Frequency)
This adjusts the center frequency to which the phase
effect is applied. With larger values, the phase effect is
applied to higher-frequency ranges.
Reso (Resonance)
This adjusts the amount of resonance. Raising the
value makes the characteristic sound more prominent.
Raising the value too much, though, may cause oscilla-
tion in the sound.
LFO1 Rate
LFO2 Rate
This adjusts the phase effect cycle length.
