Resumen del manual
Chords sound beautiful, but it is not suitable for playing a melody, because the scale is inconsistent. Nor is it suitable for playing music with transposition, as the root notes should be changed according to the key in which the music is played. Mean Tone This is also called “medium whole note temperament”. Just temperament is partly altered to make transposition possible. Key with up to three #’s and two 1? ’s can be played, with chords sounding quite similar to the just temperament. Werckmeister This is the 3rd scale within the first group of scales suggested by Werckmeister. The flexibility for transposition is wider than using Mean Tone. A piece with few #’s or b’s will sound more harmonic, and one with many #’s or b’s will sound more melodious. Kimberger This is the third scale suggested by Kirnberger. This is a modification from Mean Tone and Just Temperament. It is used in concert as much as the Werckmeister scale. i:All the temperaments except for Equal Temperament would require two black keyboards. For instance, C# and Db are different pitches. However, since there is only one black keyboard, a solution is presented below. While holding the Temperament Button down, press the Temperament Selector button you want. While holding down -HARPSICHORD- I 8' n 8’+8' H-4’ LUTE nn nnn EQUAL JUST MEAN- WERCK- KIRN-TONE MEISTER BERGER Push the relevant Temperament Button. Once a Temperament other than EQUAL is selected, the Temperament Button lights up, and EQUAL and the Temperament currently selected will be alternately selected by pressing the Temperament Button. If you simply press the Temperament Button, the indicator of the Temperament Button currently selected will flash. *At power-up, the Harpsichord will default to EQUAL. :!:While taking the Temperament selection procedure, the instrument cannot be played. White Key J = Black Key (The white and black keys on a piano.) 15 How to change the Root Note in JUST Temperament When the Just Temperament is selected, you are required to change the root note depending on the key of the music currently being performed. The Roland Harpsichord allows you to change root notes easily using the Temperament Button and a key on the keyboard(in any sound range). The necessary procedure differs in a major or minor key as follows. ■ PROCEDURE Major Key While holding the Temperament Button down, press the key for the root note. When C is selected as a root: a - "fl* Minor Key While holding the Temperament Button down, press the key for the root note, and the key a minor 3rd higher, simultaneously. [e.g. 1] For playing in A major While holding the Temperament Button down, press an A key. :M= [e.g. 2] For playing in A minor While holding the Temperament Button down, press an A, and the minor 3rd above(in this example, C key) at the same time. While holding down Press f the key for the root above \ the minor 3rd simultaneously * When a Temperament other than JUST is selected, the root notes can be changed in the same way. (Except for EQUAL.) In that case, however, there is no difference for the major and minor keys. * The root note you have set here will remain even after another Temperament is selected. * When a Temperament other than JUST is selected for ensamble playing with other instruments, the pitch of a root may be slightly detuned. It is necessary to tune the Harpsichord to the other musical instruments. 16 THE HARPSICHORD SOUND TOUCH SENSITIVITY It is possible to mute the sound which is created the moment your finger is released from the keys. ■ PROCEDURE While holding the 8' + 4' button down, turn the Harpsichord on. -HARPSICHORD_ STRINGS _PIPE ORGAN_ 8' I 8' n 8'+8' 8'+4' LUTE I H EQUAL JUST MEAN- WB fTV, KIRN-TONE Mn 11 BERGER While holding down POWER —.ON M. OFF The changes you have made will be retained in memory until the unit is turned off. The Roland Harpsichord allows you to add or change other functions by taking a certain procedure when switching on. See page 21 “Functions which can be added or changed at power up”. Usually, a harpsichord does not feature a touch sensitivity (dynamics). The Roland Harpsichords, C-20 and C-50, can perform with full control over dymamics, separately for harpsichord and sustained sounds. Using this unique function, you can enjoy interesting effects. ■ PROCEDURE Touch Sensitivity for a Harpsichord Voice While holding the 8' + 8' button down, turn the unit on. _HARPSICHORD_ 8 II 8+8 8 + 4 _ STRINGS _PIPE ORGAN- LUTE I n EQUAL JUST WERCK- KIRN-MEISTER BERGER While holding down POWER a ON MOFF Touch Sensitivity for a Sustained Type Voice While holding the STRINGS button down, turn the unit on. 8' I Ht 8' n \RPSICHOF 8'+8' iD 8'+ 4' LUTE STRINGS _PIPE ORGAN_ I n m m m m m rri n n EQUAL JUST MEAN- TONE WERCK- MEISTER KIRN- BERGER *nj DETUNF““^" While holding down POWER To obtain the following functions, optional units are needed.
