• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be
caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following
whenever you handle the board.
• Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such
as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you
might have been carrying has been discharged.
• When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid
touching any of the electronic components or connectors.
• Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put
the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.
• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection
terminals.
• Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn’t
fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.

Introduction
Main Features
ARX series SuperNATURAL expansion boards
The ARX series SuperNATURAL expansion boards represent a further
evolution for Roland’s line of expansion solutions, which began with
the SR-JV80 series and SRX series–-they are a completely new type of
expansion board. SuperNATURAL technology delivers natural, richly
expressive sounds and effects along with a dedicated graphic user
interface, all adding up to a comprehensive application environment
that allows an unprecedented degree of expressive playability and
customization.
Roland SuperNATURAL Technology
Proprietary Roland sound generation technology that realistically
reproduces the tonal changes and performance techniques distinctive
of an acoustic instrument, allowing you to perform music that is
natural and richly expressive.
ARX-01 Drums
SuperNATURAL technology provides
powerful drum customizing
The SuperNATURAL technology featured in the ARX-01 allows
aggressive customization of the drum sounds. You can change the
depth of the shell, the diameter of a cymbal, the position of the mic,
or even the muffling (muting), giving you the same degree of
customization that you have over an acoustic drum. Customizing the
drum sound is easy, and does not require specialized knowledge. A
graphical user interface allows you to edit intuitively while watching
the screen. In contrast to the way in which you “choose a drum
sound” on a conventional PCM synthesizer or sampler, this new
technology lets you work more creatively to “make a drum kit” that’s
just right for your song.
From acoustic drum sounds that cover the full range of musical styles
to the sounds of vintage gear, such as the ever-popular TR-808/909,
numerous presets are provided, giving you a powerful array of
resources to create drum parts for your productions.
Effects that can be set independently for
each tone, and powerful mixing
functionality
Up to twenty-four different tones can be assigned to a single kit. A
compressor and equalizer are provided for each tone. There’s also a
24-channel mixer that lets you make detailed volume and pan settings
17
for each tone, in addition to a multi-effect and a reverb. Using just the
ARX-01, you can construct drum parts that are at a level that’s
comparable to those used by recording studios.
The structure of ARX-01 Drums
Basic structure
ARX series SuperNATURAL expansion boards can receive
performance data and control data from devices that are compatible
with the ARX series, and produce an appropriate stereo audio signal
in response.
* ARX series boards support up to 16 parts, but the ARX-01 Drums
board is designed to produce only one part.
Tones
A tone is the smallest unit of sound on the ARX-01 Drums board. A
tone corresponds to one of the individual instruments (e.g., bass drum
or cymbal) that makes up a drum set.
Each tone is provided with COMP (compressor) and EQ (equalizer).
You can also make settings such as Roll or Flam for each tone.
* You can’t change the correspondence between note numbers and
tones.
Kits
A group of twenty-four tones is called a Kit. A kit is provided with MFX
(multi-effect) and reverb.
The ARX-01 Drums board contains fifty kits.
If the board is installed in a Fantom-G, kit data is saved in the Fantom-
G project.

Creating a Kit
About this manual
• The screen images used in this manual are taken from a Fantom-G with the ARX-01 installed. The various procedures described also
assume that you are using the ARX-01 installed in a Fantom-G.
• For details on how to move the cursor or edit a value, refer to the owner’s manual for the device in which you’ve actually installed the
ARX-01.

When the basic screen is displayed, you can also assign a name to
the kit and save it.
Selecting a kit
Move the cursor to KIT NAME and change the value to select a kit
(001–050).
Group Fader
Eight faders are shown in the basic screen of the ARX-01. These are
called the Group Faders.
You can divide the twenty-four tones among eight groups, and use
these group faders to adjust the volume of the groups. To assign
each tone to a group, use the Tone screen’s Fader Group settings (p.
21).

If you want the current tone to sound
simultaneously with another tone,
specify the number of that tone.
If there is a combination of tones that
should not sound simultaneously,
such as an open hi-hat sound and a
closed hi-hat sound, set the Mute
Group parameter of those tones to
the same number.
Mute Group is a function that prevents tones of the same setting from
being heard together. If you don’t
want to use this function, set this to 0.
This specifies how the tone will sound
when played repeatedly.
MULTI
: The same tone will be sounded on top of the already-sounding
tone. If you repeatedly play a slowdecaying sound such as a cymbal,
the new note will not silence the previous note.
SINGLE
: The currently sounding
note will be silenced before the new
note is played.

Customizing a tone (Tone/Customize screen)
fig.02-001.eps
In the Tone/Customize screen you can adjust the sound in the same
ways as on an acoustic drum; for example, by choosing the desired
shell depth, and by installing muffling (muting).
The customizable parameters vary depending on the instrument type
to which the tone belongs.

Multi-effect control (Effects/MFX Ctrl screen)
In order to control parameters such as the volume of the multi-effect
or the delay time of a delay from an external MIDI device, you will
normally need to transmit “MIDI system exclusive messages,” which
are a type of MIDI message that is specific to a particular device.
However, system exclusive message settings are complex, and these
messages will also increase the amount of data that needs to be
transmitted.
Thus, this expansion board allows you to use MIDI messages such as
control changes to control the most important multi-effect parameters.
For example, you can use the pitch bend lever to vary the depth of
distortion, or use your keyboard playing touch to change the delay
time. The parameters that can be controlled in this way are preassigned for each multi-effect type. The parameters that are assigned
for each multi-effect type are marked with a “#” in the list of
Effects Parameters”
This ability to use MIDI messages to vary the multi-effect parameters
in real time is called “multi-effect control.” The ARX-01 expansion
board allows you to use four multi-effect controls simultaneously.
To use multi-effect control, you need to specify the MIDI message
(Source 1–4) that will control the desired parameter (Control Assign
1–4) in the specified way (Sens 1–4).

Specifies the depth to which multi-effect control will affect the
parameter. Choose a positive (+) value if you want to modify the
parameter from its current value toward the positive direction (higher
value, toward the right, faster, etc.). Choose a negative (-) value if
you want to modify the parameter from its current value toward the
negative direction (lower value, toward the left, slower, etc.). With
both positive (+) and negative (-) settings, the greater the number, the
greater the change. Choose “0” if you don’t want to modify the
parameter.
