Explanation
No effect is applied.
This is a stereo delay.
This is a reverse delay that adds a reversed sound of the input sound as a delayed sound. A
chorus is connected immediately after the reverse delay.
Simulates a tape-type echo unit of the past.
This is a stereo chorus. A filter is provided so that you can adjust the timbre of the chorus
sound.
This is a stereo phaser. A phase-shifted sound is added to the original sound and
modulated.
This is a stereo phaser. The phaser effect will be varied in stepwise motion.
This is a stereo flanger. (The LFO has the same phase for left and right.) It produces a
metallic resonance that rises and falls like a jet airplane taking off or landing.
Adds reverberation to the direct sound, simulating an acoustic space.
This is a very rich sounding reverb with a choice of Character.
A saturator which distorts the sound is connected in parallel with a compressor, producing
a rougher tonal character and boosting the loudness. This also cuts the low-frequency
region of the input audio.
This is a filter with an extremely sharp slope. The cutoff frequency can be varied cyclically.
This is a low-pass filter equipped with overdrive. It cuts the upper range and adds
distortion.
Cyclically controls a filter to create cyclic change in timbre.
This is an effect that intentionally degrades the sound quality for creative purposes.
Intensely distorts the sound. The tone quality of the distorted sound is adjusted with a
filter.
Mildly distorts the sound. The tone quality of the distorted sound is adjusted with a filter.
This is an equalizer which cuts the volume greatly, allowing you to add a special effect to
the sound by cutting the volume in varying ranges.
This is an effect that applies amplitude modulation (AM) to the input signal, producing belllike sounds. You can also change the modulation frequency in response to changes in the
volume of the sound sent into the effect.
This is a ring modulator that uses a 8-step sequence to vary the frequency at which
modulation is applied.
Shifts the pitch of the original sound. This pitch shift can add two pitch shifted sounds to
the original sound.
Cyclically modulates the stereo location of the sound.
Explanation
In addition to the sound that is processed by
the MFX, the unprocessed (DRY) sound is also
output.
Only the sound that is processed by the MFX

XStick Thre
Explanation
Selects the type of pad or drum trigger that is connected.
Type
* If you change the type, the following parameters are changed to values that are appropriate
for that type (except for XTalk Cancel).
You can adjust the sensitivity of the pads to accommodate your personal playing style. This
allows you to have more dynamic control over the sound volume, based on how hard you play.
Higher sensitivity allows the pad to produce a loud volume even when played softly. Lower
sensitivity will keep the pad producing a low volume even when played forcefully.
Increase this value if a pad or drum trigger is falsely
triggered by vibrations from the environment.
Threshold
If this value is too high, the sound will not be
triggered by a soft strike, so you should set it to a
lowest level that does not allow false triggering.
In the diagram at right, triggering occurs at B, but
not at A or C.
Adjusts the rim sensitivity of the pads and drum triggers listed below.
Higher value allows the rim/edge to produce a loud volume even when played softly.

Explanation
Adjusts how easy it is to trigger a head shot or rim shot (open rim shot) on the pads and drum
triggers listed below.
If the rim sound is heard when you strike the head strongly, increase this value. If the head sound
is heard when you play an open rim shot, decrease this value. If the head sound is heard when
you softly play a rim shot, decrease this value.
PD series (except PD-8), PDX series, RT-10S,
RT-30HR
Adjusts the playing strength at which to switch between cross stick and rim shot (open rim shot)
on the pads and drum triggers listed below.
Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get cross stick sounds. When set to 0, playing a
cross stick produces the open rim shot sound.
PD series (except PD-8), PDX series, RT-10S,
RT-30HR
This setting prevents double triggering (retriggering) in response to a
single strike.
A: Retrigger
In particular for a drum trigger, the waveform is irregular, which can
cause triggering to occur at point A in the illustration. This is especially
likely to occur as the waveform diminishes. The Retrig Cancel setting
detects this irregularity in the waveform and prevents false triggering
from occurring.
While repeatedly striking the pad or drum trigger, gradually raise this
value until retriggering no longer occurs. If this value is too high, notes
may drop out when you play successive strikes or a roll.
Specifies the detection time for the strike signal.
While repeatedly striking the pad with the same force, gradually raise this value until stable
triggering occurs at the loudest volume. If this value is too high, there will be a longer time from
the strike until sound is heard, impairing the performance response.
If the stick or beater rebounds after a strike and touches the striking surface again, triggering
occurs a second time.
You can prevent this double triggering by specifying a time immediately following a strike during
which further strikes are ignored. While repeatedly striking the pad, raise this value until double
triggering does not occur. If this value is too high, notes may drop out when you play successive
strikes or a roll.
Turns strike position detection on/off for the head (H) or rim (R).
* TRIGGER INPUT jacks that support strike position detection: SNARE, RIDE, AUX
This setting prevents a drum trigger from being falsely triggered by the sound of a drum
that is not equipped with a drum trigger, or by sound or vibration from an external source
(Noise Cancel).
* This noise cancel function can be used when a RT-30K or RT-30HR drum trigger is connected
to SNR, TOM1, TOM2, or TOM3 of the dedicated connection cable or to the TRIGGER IN jack
(AUX) via a Roland-recommended stereo cable.
* The RT-30H does not support the Noise Cancel function.
When multiple pads (or acoustic drums equipped with drum triggers) are attached to the
same stand, this Crosstalk Cancel setting prevents vibrations produced by a strike from falsely
triggering other pads (or drum triggers). For example if pad B is falsely triggered when you strike
pad A, you should increase the XTalk Cancel value of pad B until crosstalk no longer occurs. If this
value is too high, a note played on pad B might be omitted when pad A and pad B are played
simultaneously.
