Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter Module : manuals

The MKS-80 is an 8 voice, 16 VCO polyphonic synthesizer module that can be played by MIDI music messages sent from the other MIDI device. FEATURES

• The MKS-80 has memory capacity that retains 64 different tone colors. By using the Memory Cartridge M-64C that retains up to 128 tone colors, total of 192 patch programs can be available.
• The MKS-80 features battery backup system that retains the data in memory even when switched off.
• Auto Tune function that allows all VCO's to be instantaneously tuned just by pressing a button.
• Patch Preset is a program that can contain a tone color (or even a pair of tone colors depending on the Key mode setting) and various mode and effect settings.
• The Detune function enables a powerful ensemble effect in Unison mode.
• The Octave Shift function allows shifting the pitch of the entire keyboard without changing the VCO range.
• Data in the MKS-80's memory can be transferred to another MKS-80 or to a computer.
• The MKS-80's dynamics function can change the attack time as well as the level.
• By the unique Envelope Reset function, each time you press a new key, the note will start from the beginning of the envelope curve.
• By using the optional Programmer MPG-80, synthesizing will become much easier.

IMPORTANT NOTES * Before turning the MKS-80 on, make sure that the Protect Switch is set to the ON position. Otherwise the data in memory may be destroyed. Power Supply The appropriate voltage to be used is shown on the name plate on the rear panel. Be sure that it meets the voltage system in your country. Do not use the same socket that is used for any noise generating device, such as a motor, or variable lighting system. When setting up the MKS-80, be sure that all the units are turned off. This unit might not work properly if turned on immediately after turned off, or if the power cable is plugged in with the unit turned on. If this happens, simply turn the unit off, and turn it on again in a few seconds. This unit might get hot while operating, but there is nothing to worry about. Location Operating the MKS-80 near a neon or fluorescent lamp may cause noise interference. If so, change the angle or position of the MKS-80. Avoid using the MKS-80 in extreme heat or humidity or where it may be affected by dust. Cleaning Use a soft cloth and clean only with a mild detergent. Do not use solvent such as paint thinner.

OPERATION

OUTLINE OF THE MKS-80

The MKS-80 is a polyphonic synthesizer module that can be played by the MIDI music messages sent from the external device.
If the MKS-80 is properly set up with a device transmitting MIDI music messages, it will be ready to be played by powered on. There are 54 tone colors (we call them Tone Memories) and 54 combination programs of a tone color (or a pair of tone colors) and various effect and mode settings (we call them Patch Presets) pre-programmed in the MKS-80's memory which can be recalled to be used just by pressing buttons.
Also, these Tone Memories and Patch Presets can be edited as you like. This editing operation, however, does not automatically rewrite the existing tone color. If you wish to write the edited tone color, appropriate writing operation is required.

• MEMORY CARTRIDGE
The supplied Memory Cartridge M-54C can be effectively used to expand the memory capacity. The M-54C has two separate blocks A and B, and can retain 54 different Tone Memories and Patch Presets in each block. The cartridge memory can be used exactly like the internal memory of the M KS-80. You may consider it as a part of internal memory. Be sure that the Protect Switch on the Cartridge is set to the ON position when connecting it to the MKS-80 or disconnecting, otherwise the data in memory might be damaged. Securely insert the Cartridge to the Cartridge Holder fi of the M KS80 with its Protect Switch facing upward.
* To prevent accidental loss of the data, set the Protect Switch to the ON position except for when writing new data.
* Refer to Patch Preset and Tone Memory on page 9.

PLAY MODE

Make sure that all the connections have been correctly made, and turn on the MKS-80, then the keyboard, and finally the amplifier. Now, the MKS-80's Display Window shows AUTO TUNE, all the 16 VCO's being automatically tuned. And soon, the Display will respond as shown right. 1 I- 11 S2 13- 22 MIDI AREA PATCH MODE LOWER UPPER At this stage, if the MKS-80 receives the message on the same MIDI Channel as shown that in the Display (above "MIDI"), it will operate. While the MKS-80 is receiving any message, the MIDI Message Indicator is lighted. If the message is transmitted on a different channel, the MKS-80 cannot receive the message, therefore, the indicator stays dark.

Tone Color Selection

• Tone Memory and Patch Preset
There are two types of patch programs in the MKS-80's memory.

One is called Tone Memory which is a tone color with various parameter settings of such as VCO, VCF, VCA, ENV sections. Up to 64 different Tone Memories can be retained in memory and each Tone Memory has its own number from 11 to 88 (we call it Tone Number). Another is called Patch Preset which is a combination of a Tone Number or a pair of Tone Numbers and various settings of effects and modes. A Patch Preset can only remember the combination of the Tone Number(s) and effect and mode settings, that is, it has no ability of retaining the tone color itself. Therefore, if the Tone Memory is edited or replaced with a new tone color, the Patch Preset will accordingly altered. Up to 64 Patch Presets can be stored in memory, and each Patch Preset has a number from 11 to 88 (we call it Patch Number). * To assign a Tone Number or Patch Number, simply press the relevant Bank and Number Buttons. e.g.) Press the Bank Button "5" and the Number Button "6" to select Program 56.

PROGRAM NUMBER BANK 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 2 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 3 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 4 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 5 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 6 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 7 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 8 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88

Parameters of TONE MEMORY Section

All the parameters in the Tone Section can be used to edit a Tone Memory.
* See the Edit Map on p. 11, too.

LFO-1 - This is a Low Frequency Oscillator which controls the VCO and VCF, etc. • LFO RATE = LFO Rate (0-100) This controls the rate of the LFO-l. At zero, obtained rate is the slowest, and as the value is increased, the rate is quickened. • LFO DLY = LFO Delay Time (0-100) This sets the time required for the LFO-l to start its modulation after a key is pressed on the keyboard. At zero, there is no delay time. • LFO WF = LFO Waveform (tri, saw, square, RND) This is to select the output waveform of the LFO-l. There are four types of waveforms available. _ _ pg. 14 _ _ VCO Modulation - VCO's frequency can be controlled by the LFO-1 or ENV-1. • VCO LFO = VCO MOD LFO-l Depth (0-100) When the LFO-l is modulating the VCO's frequency {vibrato}, this value decides the intensity of the modulation. At zero, there is no modulation obtained, and as the value is increased, deeper pitch modulation is obtained. • VCO ENV = VCO MOD ENV-l Depth (0-100) When the ENV-l is controlling the VCO's frequency, the value set here decides the intensity of the modulation. At zero, there is no modulation, and as the value is increased, deeper pitch modulation is obtained. Pulse Width Modulation - The ratio of the VCO's pulse wave can be altered by ENV-l, LFO-1 or keyboard. • PW = Pulse Width (0-100) This sets the ratio of the VCO's pulse wave. At 0, pulse width ratio is 50%, making a square wave. And as you increase the value, the pulse width will become narrower, the sound disappearing just before 100%. • PWM = Pulse Width Modulation (0-100) The ratio of the pulse wave set with the Pulse Width can be modulated by the ENV-l, LFO or keyboard. The PWM slider decides the intensity of the modulation. At value zero, there is no modulation, and, as the value goes up, deeper modulation is obtained. • PWM SEL = PWM Mode selector (ENV, LFO, KYBD) This selects which one of the ENV-l, LFO-l or the keyboard modulates the pulse width. * Modulating pulse width by keyboard - The width of pulse wave generated from the MKS-80 can be changed depending on the key you play. If all the pulses are set exactly the same ratio, higher note may sound thin. To solve this problem, it is a good idea to set the pulse in the higher pitch to wider. • PWM POL = PWM Polarity (NRM, INV) This selects the polarity of the waveform or envelope curve that controls PWM. For instance; if using the ENV-l for modulation, the pulse width gets wider in the Normal, and narrower in the Invert mode. _ _ pg. 15 _ _ VCO Key Follow - In the VCO section, Key Follow function is provided to detune the generated sound. This also can be effectively used during synthesizing with Cross Modulation function. • VCO KYBD = VCO Key Follow (0-100) This is usually set to 100%, but can be set to any value you like from 0 to 100%. At 0%, the pitch obtained will be always the same regardless of which key is pressed. And as you increase the value, the pitch alteration will be more drastic. {For arabic quarter-note tuning, set at 50%} • VCO SEL = VCO Selector (1, OFF, 2) With this, you can select which of the VCO-l or 2 should take on the Key Follow effect set at the VCO Key Follow. At OFF, both VCO-l and 2 take on 100% Key Follow. Cross Modulation - Here, the output waveform from the VCO-2 changes the VCO-l's pitch. With the VCO-2 set to the Low Frequency, complicated pitch alteration can be obtained with combination of the LFO-l. • XMOD MAN = Cross Mod Manual Depth (0-100) The intensity of the Cross Modulation can be manually changed. At 0, there is no effect obtained, and increasing the value will deepen the pitch alteration. • XMOD ENV = Cross Mod ENV-1 Depth (0-100) This decides the amount of ENV-l's output sent to the Cross Modulation. At 100, maximum effect is obtained. • XMOD POL = Cross Mod Polarity (NRM, INV) This selects the polarity of the ENV-l output set above. In Normal, the ENV curve starts from zero to its maximum, and at Invert, the curve will reach to zero finally. VCO-1 - Voltage Controlled Oscillator #1 • VCO1 MOD = VCO-1 Modulation (NRM, OFF, INV) This controls ON/OFF of the VCO-l Modulation. In Normal, higher CV makes higher pitch; and in Invert, the other way round. {The set amount of VCO Mod is a mix of LFO-1 and ENV-1. Set at NRM, a rise in either modulator would increase pitch of VCO-1. Set at INV, a rise in either modulator would decrease pitch.} _ _ pg. 16 _ _ • VCO1 RNG = VCO-1 Range (32' ~ 16' ~ 8' ~ 4' ~ 2') This selects the pitch of the VCO-1 in half tone steps from 32' to 2'. The Display Window shows the note represented by MIDI Key number 60 (which corresponds with Middle C of the piano keyboard). • VCO1 WF = VCO-1 Waveform (tri, saw, pulse, square) This selects the output waveform from the VCO-1. {The waveform selected determines the brightness or timbre of you basic sound. Triangle is dull, Square is brighter but hollow, Saw is bright, and Pulse is adjustable depending on the Pulse Width.} Synchro - By synchronizing two VCOs, complicated waveform (which is impossible to make with a single VCO) can be created. • VCO SYNC = VCO SYNC (1->2, OFF, 1<-2) This controls ON/OFF of the VCO synchro, and its direction. {Using 1->2, the cycle of VCO-1 is used to synchronise or "reset" VCO-2. Here. everytime VCO-1 re-starts its wavecycle, VCO-2 is forced to restart its wavecycle (regardless of where it was in its cycle).} VCO-2 - By mixing this with VCO-1, or using Synchro or Cross Modulation function, a wide variety of sound synthesis is possible. • VCO2 MOD = VCO-2 Modulation (NRM, OFF, INV) This selects the ON/OFF of the VCO-2 modulation. In Normal, higher CV makes higher pitch; and in Invert, the other way round. • VCO2 RNG = VCO-2 Range (LOW, 32C ~ 2C, HI) This selects the pitch of the VCO-2 in half tone step from 32' to 2', and also selects Low or High Frequency. The Display Window shows the note represented by MIDI Key number 60 (which corresponds with Middle C of the piano keyboard). • VCO2 TUN = VCO-2 Fine Tune This is the VCO-2's tuning function ranging from -50 to +50 cents (± 1/4 tone). • VCO2 WF = VCO-2 Waveform (tri, saw, pulse, NOISE) This selects the output waveform of the VCO-2.

Mixer • MIXER = Source Mixer (0-100) This sets the proportion of the signal from the VCO-1 and 2. At 0, only the VCO-1 sound is heard, and as the value increases, the proportion of the VCO-2 increases, and at 100, only the VCO-2 sound is obtained. {At 50, both VCO-1 and VCO-2 are set equally loud.} _ _ pg. 17 _ _ High Pass Filter - This filter lets the high frequency harmonics pass and cuts off the low harmonics. • HPF FREQ = HPF CutOff Frequency This sets the cutoff point of the HPF. As the value is increased, lower frequency is cut off. VCF - Voltage Controlled Filter. This filter changes the tone color by cutting off or emphasizing harmonics. This filter lets the low frequency harmonics pass and cuts off the high frequency. Also the cutoff frequency of this filter is controlled {can be modulated} by the LFO or Envelope. • VCF FREQ = VCF CutOff Frequency (0-100) This controls the cutoff frequency of the VCF. At l00, the original waveform passes without being changed; and, as the value is decreased, the higher frequencies are blocked out. {Cut-Off Frequency determines the position in the harmonic spectrum where the filter will begin to block out the higher harmonics.} • VCF RESO = VCF Resonance (0-100) This emphasizes the cutoff point set with the Cutoff Frequency. At 0, there is no effect, and as you raise the value, certain harmonics are emphasized, and the created sound will become more unusual/ more electronic in nature. {Resonance is where the frequencies at the Cut-Off position are boosted.} VCF Modulation • VCF SEL = VCF Mod Envelope Selector (ENV-1, ENV-2) This selects which of ENV-l or ENV-2 controls {modulates} the VCF. • VCF POL = VCF Mod Envelope Polarity (NRM, INV) This selects the polarity of the envelope curve that controls the VCF. At Normal the curve goes up from zero up to its maximum. • VCF ENV = VCF Mod ENV Depth (0-100) This sets the amount of Envelope which controls {modulates} the cutoff frequency. At 0, there is no effect; and, as the value increases, the modulation becomes more intensive. • VCF LFO = VCF Mod LFO Depth (0-100) This sets the amount of the LFO-l that controls {modulates} the cutoff frequency of the VCF. At 0, there is no effect; and, as the value increases, the modulation becomes more intensive. • VCF KYBD = VCF Key Follow (0-100) The cutoff frequency of the VCF can be changed depending on the key pressed. At 0, however, the cutoff frequency does not change at all. At l00, the cutoff frequency will fully change according to the pitch of the key pressed. {With a positive amount of Keyboard Follow (Tracking) applied to the Filter Cut-Off, then the higher keyboard notes being played would result in brighter notes.} _ _ pg. 18 _ _ VCA Voltage Controlled Amplifier. This controls the volume (amplitude) of the sound. • VCA LEVL = VCA Level (0 to 100) This sets the level of the ENV-2 that controls the VCA, so it should be set considering the volume difference caused in changing the tone colors. {In general, you will want to set this to 100.} • VCA LFO = VCA Mod LFO-l Depth This sets the amount of the LFO-l that control the VCA level {tremolo}. At 0, there is no effect; and, as the value is increased, the amount of the signal increases. Dynamics - This is to change the level or attack time of the envelope by the velocity of key pressure. The message which controls dynamics is MIDI Key Velocity. • DYN TIME = Dynamics Time (0 to 100) This decides the amount of the Key Velocity that controls {modulates} attack time of the envelope {ENV-2}. At 0, the attack time remains at its set level {time}; and, as the value is increased, attack time gets shorter with harder key velocity. • DYN LEVL = Dynamics Level (0 to l00) This decides the amount of the Key Velocity that controls the level of envelope {ENV-2}. At 0, the level remains at its set level regardless of how hard the key is pressed. As the value is increased, the envelope level changes more obviously depending on how you play the keyboard; that is, the harder you attack the key, the higher the level will be. Envelope - This section processes the gate signal generated by Key ON/OFF to control VCF, VCO, etc. Basically, it consists of Attack Time, Decay Time, Sustain Level and Release Time. • EG RESET = Envelope Reset (ON, OFF) This selects whether to start each note from the beginning of the envelope curve, or continue the curve from the present level. When it is ON, each time you press a new key, the note will start from the beginning of the envelope curve. {In general, you will want to leave this ON.} • EG1 DYN = ENV-l Dynamics (ON, OFF) • EG2 DYN = ENV-2 Dynamics (ON, OFF) These two are both to select whether to control the envelope with Key Velocity message or not. _ _ pg. 19 _ _ • EG1 A = ENV-1 Attack Time (0-100) • EG2 A = ENV-2 Attack Time (0-100) These set the time required for the signal to reach its maximum from the moment the key is pressed down. At 0, the shortest attack time is obtained. • EG1 D = ENV-1 Decay Time (0-100) • EG2 D = ENV-2 Decay Time (0-100) These adjust the time needed for the signal to drop from the maximum to the sustain level. At 0, the quickest decay time is obtained. * When the sustain level is set to 100, the envelope curve does not change by the decay time setting. • EG1 S = ENV-1 Sustain Level (0-100) • EG2 S = ENV-2 Sustain Level (0-100) This determines the sustain level to which the signal falls at the end of the decay time. At 100, this equals to the peak level of the envelope curve. • EG1 R = ENV-1 Release Time (0-100) • EG2 R = ENV-2 Release Time (0-100) These determine the time needed for the voltage {level} to reach zero from the moment the key is turned OFF {let go}. At 0, the shortest release time is obtained. • EG1 KYBD = ENV-l Key Follow (0-100) • EG2 KYBD = ENV-2 Key Follow (0-100) The time required for the envelope to complete its curve can be changed depending on which key is pressed. There is no change of the time at all when the Key Follow is set to 0; but as the value is increased, envelope time becomes shorter with higher key pressed {as you press keys higher up the keyboard, the envelope cycle time is faster}. _ _ pg. 20 _ _

Parameters in PATCH PRESET Section

A Patch Preset includes the following parameters which can be spontaneously edited.
* The Edit Map shown on P. 11 will help you understand the parameters easier.

• MODE = Key Mode (Whole, Split 2, Split 1, Dual) These four Key Modes are optional. WHOL = Whole Mode - In this mode the MKS-80 acts as an 8 voice synthesizer. Receiving the message sent from an external device, the MKS-80 can output up to 8 notes at a time. When 9 notes are received, the 9th note will be ignored. When the Key mode is changed from the Dual or Split to Whole, the tone color of the Upper Section will remain {unchanged}. Split Mode - In this mode, the MKS-80 acts as two polyphonic synthesizers. The keyboard is split into Lower and Upper sections at the set split point, each having 4 synthesizer modules. Two different tone colors and mode settings can be separately assigned. SPL1 = Split 1 - When the keyboard does not have the Split function, select this key mode. The MKS-80 can remember the key number of the split point, and distribute the received message to the relevant section. SPL2 = Split 2 - When the keyboard features the Split function, select this mode. The message sent on the same MIDI Channel as the MKS-80 is distributed to the Upper, and the message sent on the channel one number bigger is distributed to the Lower Section. * When the MKS-80 chooses MIDI Channel 3, message sent from the external device on channel 3 is assigned to the Upper section, and channel 4 message works on the Lower section. DUAL = Dual Mode - In this mode, the MKS-80 acts as a 4 voice synthesizer with two independent modules. Even if the {external} keyboard does not feature the Dual mode, setting the MKS-80 to the Dual mode will allow Dual mode performance. And when the {external} keyboard features the Dual mode, the MKS-80 can be set to either the Split 2 or Dual mode. _ _ pg 22 _ _ * Split and Dual Mode on the Keyboard - When the keyboard does not feature either the Spl it or Dual mode, or if it is set to the Whole mode, the MIDI message is sent only on the channel the keyboard is set to. If the keyboard is set to the Split mode, the key higher than the split point is sent on the current set MIDI channel as Upper section message. And the key lower than the split point is sent on the channel number one bigger as Lower section message. When the keyboard is set to the Dual mode, a key message will be sent on the current MIDI channel as Upper section message, and on the channel one bigger than that as Lower section message. • S. POINT = Split Point (A0 to C8) When the MKS-80 is set to the Split 1 mode, this value determines the split point. A0 is represented by MIDI key number 21. (C4 corresponds with C4 of the piano keyboard.) • TONE = Tone Number (11 to 88) This is to assign a Tone Number or pair of Tone Numbers. Use the Bank Buttons and Number Buttons. • BALANCE = Balance (0-100) This sets the volume balance of the upper and lower sections in Split or Dual mode. At 0, only lower section output {is obtained}; and at 100, only upper section output is obtained. • OCTAVE = Octave Shift (+2, +1, NORM, -1, -2) Without changing the VCO's range, the pitch of the entire keyboard can be transposed in octaves. In Normal, no transposition is done; and from -2 to +2, octave transpositions are optional in one octave steps. _ _ pg. 23 _ _

• ASSIGN = Assign Mode (Solo, Unison 1, Unison 2, Poly 1, Poly 2) The above four Assign Modes are optional. SOLO - This mode turns the MKS-80 to a monophonic synthesizer following Last Note Priority. Last Note Priority is that the last key pressed is selected when more than one key is pressed at a time. UNI 1 = Unison 1 - This turns theM KS-80 to a monophonic synthesizer following Last Note Priority. In the Whole mode, all 8 synthesizer modules will be assigned to each key. UNI 2 = Unison 2 - The maximum synthesizer modules applied {assigned} to one key changes... depending on how many keys you are pressing. Modules assigned per key No. of Keys pressed Mode 1 key 2 keys 3 - 4 more than 5 WHOLE 8 4 2 1 SPLIT 4 2 1 - DUAL 8 4 2 - PLY 1 = Poly 1 - This mode turns the MKS-80 to an 8 voice polyphonic synthesizer assigning one synthesizer module to each key pressed. (In the Dual mode, 2 modules to each.) This is suitable for the sound{s} with long release time. PLY 2 = Poly 2 - This is very similar to Poly 1 mode, the only difference is that Poly 2 is {more} suitable for portamento. • DETUNE = Unison Detune (0-100) As you increase the value, the pitch difference increases and richer ensemble effect{s} will be obtained. _ _ pg. 24 _ _ • HOLD = Hold/Sustain (MIDI, ON, OFF) MIDI - MIDI Hold (Damper) message can make a sustained sound. ON - MIDI Hold message will be ignored. The note played will be sustained even after the key is released, but playing a new key will kill the old note, retaining only the new note. OFF - There is no Hold function. • GLIDE = Glide (Portamento) (0-100) This adjusts the Portamento time. At 0, there is no portamento effect. • BENDER = Bender Sensitivity (0-100) This adjusts the maximum effect of Bender. At 100, pitch bender effect up to about 1 octave (Normal) is obtained. • VCO-1 = VCO-1 Bender (WIDE, NORM, OFF) • VCO-2 = VCO-2 Bender (WIDE, NORM, OFF) The above 2 parameters control ON/OFF and the range of pitch bender effect. With the Bender Sens set to 100: Wide = approx. 2.5 octaves / Normal = approx. 1 octave or more. • TOUCH = After Touch Sensitivity (0-100) The VCO pitch or cutoff frequency of the VCF can be controlled by after touch message (MIDI Channel Pressure or Modulation wheel). This determines the maximum effect of the After Touch message that controls the VCO or VCF. At 0, there is no effect; and as the value is raised, the effect becomes wider. • SELECT = After Touch Mode Selector (VCO, VCF) If VCO is selected, the after touch message will control the VCO's pitch; and if VCF {is selected}, the VCF's cutoff frequency {is affected}. • RATE = After Touch LFO-2 Rate (0-100) This decides the rate' of the LFO-2 that is used for VCO modulation by after touch message. _ _ pg. 25 _ _
