Basic Editing

In order to understand the possibilities of the various editing functions, there are a few basic points you must take into consideration. These will help save you time, and avoid frustration whether this is your first electronic musical instrument or not. Any changes you make are automatically registered as there is no “write” function. Taking that into consideration, we recommend that you explore the editing process first by using one of the 5 preset kits shown here. The reason we suggest this is because these kits are pre-set. You can edit them temporarily, but once you change the kit, they automatically return to their factory settings.

Now pass your hand over the D Beam quickly and at close range, and you will hear the sound bend.

Then move your hand over the D Beam, and once the sound is heard, move your hand up and down, to hear how you are controlling the sound.

Try this:

While you can still see <Rx Pitch> -1200 in the display, tap once the large pad on the left and set this also to -1200. Now, while tapping the pad with your left hand, place your right hand above the D Beam, and then slowly lower your hand. Here you can see how the D Beam can control the pitch of sounds assigned to other pads.

* Remember, the D Beam is sensitive to the light in the space where

you are playing it. See p. 25 for adjustments to the D Beam.

*Actual infrared beam is invisible.

“S” at the left side of the bar graph means you are slow, or behind the beat, and “F” on the right side means you are fast, or ahead of the beat.

Press the [ ] button again to stop.

Press the [ ] and you see: There are 2 Grades: EASY & HARD.

If you push the [ ] one more time, you can set the tempo.

Page 21

Pad Follow

Designed to help you become more familiar with the positions of the pads, it provides some challenging variations. Remember this does NOT check your timing, but only your ability to know what sounds are on which pads (or external triggers).

* This function uses all sounds assigned to all pads (and external triggers, if you have selected Ext Trig

ON). Be sure there is a sound assigned there or that the volume of that sound is not too low.

Press the [COACH] button and use the [ ] or [ ] cursors until you see <PAD FOLLOW> in the display.

ROLL

Select any kit.

Press [EDIT], and then the [ ], until you see <PRESSURE>.

Press the [ ] once and then the [ ] again until you see:

If this is set to OFF, raise the value. The roll speed range is 1–30 beats per second OR

 3

(eighth notes), (eighth-note triplets),

 3

(sixteenth notes), (sixteenth-note triplets),



and (thirty-second notes), who’s speed will be determined by the metronome’s current tempo setting. Set the value as you wish. If you want all the pads to roll, while holding down [SHIFT], push down the Control Knob.

Press any pad, or place your hand over the D Beam. The sound will roll.

Each pad, including the D Beam can use this function. Another way to assign the Roll function to a pad is to press

the [SHIFT] button, and tap the respective pad. Also, if you just hold down the [SHIFT] button, the display will show you which pads have the roll function active.

EFFECTS

Verify that the [EFFECT] button is lit.

Press [EDIT], and then the [ ], until you see <EFFECTS>.

Press the [ ] and you see the EFFECT TYPE.

Press the [ ] until you see the status of Pad Sw.

Each pad has its own individual EFFECT on/off switch. Set this as you wish.

If you just hold down the [SHIFT] button, the display will show you which pads are using EFFECTS or not.

→

If you want to assign effects to all pads, turn one pad to the “ON” position, then while holding [SHIFT], push the Control Knob down once. Or press [SHIFT] and tap a selected pad.

Pushing the [ ] again will take you to the various parameters of the EFFECT selected.

You will see <D Beam> and then <Knob>. As they both can control different parameters of the effect currently in use, use the [+]/[-] buttons or Control Knob to see what is possible. For an overall idea please refer to the EFFECT chart for more details. (p. 30)

* After you have selected an effects parameter to manipulate

with the Control Knob, while you are still in the Edit mode, you can test the function. Press the Control Knob, (the LED will light) and then turn it while playing a pad. You will see changes in numerical values and the bar graph in the display. If you decide to assign a different effect parameter to the knob, first use it to return the values to where they were, or execute the UNDO function.

* When using the Roll function set to high speeds, and

depending on the sounds you are “rolling,” sometimes noise may occur.

Press [EDIT], and then the [ ], until you see <KIT/MIDI>.

Press the [ ] and you see the Kit Volume.

MIDI

Note#

Press the [ ] until you see:

* The MIDI Note # for each pad can be changed, and the

HandSonic will remember these on a “per kit” basis. You would only need to do this when triggering an external sound module. An “*” will appear to the right of the note number if two pads use the same note number within the same kit. Please be careful, because if identical MIDI messages are received from an external sequencer or MIDI controller, the HandSonic will not sound as you expect.

* If recording a performance on an external sequencer, and

using a Foot Switch for Hi-hat control, the HandSonic will transmit a note number 4 steps lower than the one assigned to the pad being played. (ONLY if this pad has a sound capable of Hi-hat control.) This will occur only while the foot switch is pressed and the pad is played.

For an example, go to KIT #18 “Pot Drum”.

Press [EDIT], then the [ ] and play the large pad on the right.

You will see <NOTE OFF> appear above the instrument name.

Press and hold the pad for a few seconds, then release your hand.

This is how GATE functions.

Press the [ ] once and then [ ] until you see <KIT/MIDI>.

Press the [ ] and then the [ ] until you see <Gate Time>.

Play the same pad, and change the Gate Time parameter to “ALT.”

Now tap the pad once, and then again.

You will hear how ALT works. SCRAPE works only with the D Beam and literally allows

you to scrape a sound with your hand movement.

To execute, press the [ ] again, and a confirmation message will appear in the display. Press the [4] (OK) button if OK, and the [2] (CANCEL) button to cancel the operation.

Restoring an Individual Kit to the Factory Settings

KIT COPY can also be used to restore the selected kit to the original factory settings. When selecting the “source” as mentioned above, scroll to where you see a <P: > before the kit name.

KIT EXCHANGE

PAD EXCHANGE

Here you can swap the parameters between two pads. Follow the same procedure as explained in KIT COPY.

PAD COPY/EXCHANGE (between different kits)

You can also copy or exchange pad parameters between two different kits. To do that, follow the same instructions for copy or exchange, but in this case you need to press the [SHIFT] button, and use the [+]/[-] buttons when choosing the source or destination kit. Upon pressing [SHIFT], you will see the KIT NAME appear in the display, and you can listen to the sound assigned to the pad in the destination (Dst) or source (Src) kit.

PAD CLEAR

This function completely clears all parameters assigned to one pad. Follow the same procedure as explained in KIT COPY.

L-R EXCHANGE

Perfect for exchanging all pad parameters, especially if you are Left Handed. Follow the same procedure as explained in KIT COPY. When you select this function, the display highlights the pads that will be exchanged. All pad parameters will be exchanged except for the M3 pad and the S3 pad.

This is a useful function for re-arranging the order of your kits. Follow the same procedure as explained in KIT COPY.

KIT CLEAR

This function completely clears all parameters assigned to all pads.

PAD COPY

This allows you to copy all parameters of one pad to another. Follow the same procedure as explained in KIT COPY. In this case you can select your source and destination pads by simply tapping the pad or external trigger/foot switch. (MIDI Note# will not be copied)

UNDO

The undo function allows you restore the Kit to the state it was in BEFORE you made changes to any parameter. However, if you make changes to a kit, and then change kits, your modifications will be permanent. If you want to UNDO any changes made, do so before going to another kit. While holding down [SHIFT], press the [KIT] button, and follow the commands in the display.

* When executing the UNDO function, you can preview or

compare the newly edited kit with the kit as it was before you made changes.

When this screen appears, you can play the pads, and you will hear the previous version.

* Adjusting this parameter will affect the way the M1 and

M5 pads respond depending where you play them, provided the sound assigned is positional sensing capable. (see inst list on p. 34) A good way to understand how this function works, is to use the pre-set CONGA kit. Play the M1 or M5 pads, moving from the center to the edge, while at the same time, changing the Position value. To be more specific, if you set this to +3 you will notice that the “edge” sound will be very easy to produce, even when playing in the middle of the pad. Adjust according to your playing style.

Error Messages/Troubleshooting

This section lists the messages (error messages) that the HandSonic 10 produces and explains the meaning of each message, giving you to appropriate action to take.

MESSAGE midi offline!

midi buf full!

midi rx error!

bulk rx error!

bulk checksum!

battery low!

MEANING WHAT TO DO

MIDI Cable was disconnected, or communication with external MIDI device was interrupted.

Too much MIDI information was received at once and could not be processed correctly.

The HandSonic 10 did not receive a MIDI message correctly.

The HandSonic 10 did not receive BULK MIDI data correctly.

Checksum value of a System Exclusive message was not correct.

The internal battery, used for maintaining data in the user memory, has become weak.

Check MIDI connections/cables.

Verify connections, and the type of MIDI information you are sending.

Re-transmit the message again.

Re-transmit the message again. If the problem continues, there’s a problem with the data being transmitted to the HandSonic 10.

Correct the checksum value.

Contact your dealer, or Roland service to have it replaced.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting a local Roland service center, be sure you have read this manual in its entirety.

NO SOUND?

Double check all audio connections, volume controls on the HandSonic 10 or external amplifier.

OVERALL SOUND OF A KIT HAS CHANGED?

Did you use the Control Knob to modify Tuning, Muffling or Effects? If you did, and you changed kits without executing UNDO, then you have re-written various parameters in that kit. For info on the Control Knob functions, see page 8. For info on UNDO, see page 23. For info on recalling any KIT’s original factory settings, see page 27.

THE [EFFECT] BUTTON IS OFF, BUT YOU STILL HEAR REVERB?

Look at the display to see if AMBIENCE is still ON. To turn it off, while holding [SHIFT], press the [EFFECT] button. (AMBIENCE-page 24)

FOOT SWITCH SEEMS TO WORK BACKWARDS?

When using foot switches, if you hear the sound when you release your foot from it, this means you need to switch the POLARITY, or you have not set the correct TYPE of external trigger. See page 26.

STYLE GUIDE METRONOME - TEMPO PROBLEMS? a.

You have set the tempo of the metronome, but the pattern plays at a different tempo?

All the patterns play back at the same speed. Remember there is a Tempo Change parameter that

determines if the patterns play back at their own individual, pre-set tempos, or at the tempo set by the Metronome itself. See page 15.

PLAYING WITH THE STYLE GUIDE METRONOME.

Depending on the pattern chosen and the kit you are playing, you may notice sounds drop out, or mute.

WHEN CHANGING FROM ONE KIT TO ANOTHER, YOU HEAR A SOUND?

Depending on the EFFECT assigned to a specific kit, and the length or decay, of the last sound played, this may occur. If you play a cymbal sound, and then change the kit while you can still hear that sound, then the effects assigned to the new kit will be applied to that last sound.

TEMPO DELAY

Because of the way the Tempo Delay operates, at low tempos, depending on the BEAT selection, it may not work as you expect.

Also, the Tempo Delay will not follow correctly if you are using the Auto Up/Down function in COACH mode.

COACH MODE- RHYTHM CHECK AND PAD FOLLOW

If you set the BEAT to “0” or “1” the HandSonic will play in 4.

10.

ROLL

When using the Roll function set to high speeds, and depending on the sounds you are “rolling,” sometimes noise may occur.

Instrument Name Abbreviations/Terms

When you see a “/” for example: AgogoBell L/H— it means that the sound will “velocity switch.” Soft dynamics will play the low sound and stronger dynamics will play the high sound.

OP = Open HT = Heel, Toe Botm = Bottom Cl, Cls = Close Ft = Foot Rels = Release Mt = Mute HnMt = Hand Mute Scrpe = Scrape Strke = Stroke

Instrument List Indications

*H (HH Control): The Hi-hat sound works with Foot Switch Hi-hat control. (p. 26) *M (MUTE): The sound will change when muting with the hand. (p. 11) *P (POSITION): The sound, when assigned to the M 1 or M 5 pads, will change according to where it is played on the pads. *N (NOTE OFF): The sound reacts to Note on/off messages. (p. 22)

Glossary

PAf (Polyphonic Aftertouch)

(from

p. 27

)

An example of PAf is as follows: Let’s say you are using the ROLL function on all the pads. IF you press lightly on one pad, and more strongly on another, then their respective sound levels will be different.

Sens (Sensitivity)

(from

p. 27

)

Define the sensitivity of the pad or the like to control the balance between the strike force and the sound volume. As the value increases, the sensitivity gets higher, which means that a louder sound is produced with weak strikes.

Threshold

(from

p. 27

)

Setting the Minimum Levels for the Pads Allows a trigger signal to be received only above a determined velocity level. In the following example, B will sound but A and C will not sound.

LINEAR

The standard setting, producing the most natural correspondence between playing dynamics and volume change.

Scan Time

(from

p. 27

)

A trigger signal may differ slightly depending on the characteristics of each pad or acoustic drum trigger (drum pickup) being used. If identical hits produce sound at different volumes, you can adjust the “SCAN TIME” so that your way of playing can be detected more precisely. The higher the value the longer it will take for the sound to be played.

fig.scan time1.e

fig.scan time2.e

Glossary

this to the lowest value possible while still ensuring that there is no retriggering.

You can also eliminate this problem of retriggering with the Mask Time setting.

Mask Time

(from

p. 27

)

Once a pad has been hit, any additional trigger signals received within the specified “Mask Time” (0-64 msec) will be ignored.

Sound not produced

XTalk Cancel (Crosstalk Cancel)

(from

p. 27

)

An example of crosstalk is If two pads are mounted on the same stand, or nearby, and hitting one pad causes the other pad to sound. To eliminate this, adjust Crosstalk Cancel on the pad that is sounding inadvertently.

Retrig Cancel (Retrigger Cancel)

(from

p. 27

)

This is important if you are using acoustic drum triggers which can produce altered waveforms that may also cause inadvertent sounding at Point A in the following figure.

fig.Retrigger.e

Time

Retrigger Cancel detects such distortion in and prevents retriggering from occurring. Setting this to a high value prevents retriggering, but may also cause sounds to be omitted during fast playing (roll etc.). Set

Rim Sens (Rim Sensitivity)

(from

p. 27

)

Control the sensitivity of the rim. As the value increases, the rim is more likely to produce a sound. When it is set to OFF, the instrument of the head is reproduced at a rim shot. Note that if the value is too large, the instrument of the rim will be produced when you strike the head.

Rim Gain

(from

p. 27

)

Control the sensitivity of the rim. Configure this parameter to change the sensitivity of the rim alone with that of the head left unchanged.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY Please Read This Section

• Dusty; or are

• Subject to high levels of vibration.

................................................................................................

005

• This unit should be used only with a stand (PDS-10) that is recommended by Roland (p. 44).

................................................................................................

006

• When using the unit with a stand (PDS-10) recommended by Roland, the stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a stand, you still need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.

008c

• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

IMPORTANT NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 48–49, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

IMPORTANT NOTES Please Read This Section

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

452

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer)., or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Memory Backup

501b

• This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s memory circuits while the main power is off. When this battery becomes weak, the message shown below will appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in user kit. once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

558d

• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones.

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

566a

• The usable range of D Beam controller will become extremely small when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when using the D Beam controller outside.

566b

• The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending on the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of your location.
