Performance Functions and Effects

If you turn off the power while the D BEAM screen is

displayed, the D Beam setting you chose will not be

remembered by the Prelude. You must press [EXIT] before you

turn off the power.

The Pitch Bend/Modulation lever located at the left of the

keyboard can be used to apply two types of effect to the

sound you’re playing in Keyboard mode.

Pitch Bend is an effect that lowers the pitch of the sound you’re

playing when you move the lever toward the left, or raises it

when you move the lever toward the right.

Modulation is an effect that applies vibrato to the sound you’re

playing when you push the lever away from yourself.

If the MFX type is ROTARY, this will switch the rotational speed

instead of Modulation.

If you press the lever away from yourself while moving it to left

or right, both effects will be applied at the same time.

The extent of the pitch change can be assigned for each Tone.

For details, refer to “Pitch Bend Range” (p. 39).

“Bend Mode” (p. 45)

You can connect a separately available foot switch (Boss

FS-5U) or a separately available expression pedal (Roland

EV-5) to the CONTROL PEDAL jack on the rear panel.

You can assign a variety of functions to this pedal. For details,

refer to “System Parameters” (p. 45).

By selecting a preset Performance, you can quickly recall

settings that are appropriate for the song you’re playing.

When you select a preset performance, settings for the

following items will be recalled.

• Keyboard mode

• Upper Tone/Lower Tone settings

•Style settings

•Effects settings

• Transpose

• Octave shift

• Keyboard touch

• Chord mode

The Performance memory locations are organized as follows.

Using the VALUE dial

1. Press [PERFORM] to select Performance mode.

(This may not be necessary, because the Prelude selects

this mode at power-up.

2. Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the right of

“PERFORM,” located in the upper left of the screen, then

use the VALUE dial to choose “PRST” or “USER.”

You’ll be able to select preset Performances if you choose

“PRST,” or user Performances if you choose “USER.”

3. Use the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the

Performance number, and use the VALUE dial to select a

Performance.

When the cursor in the screen is at the Performance number,

you can also select a Performance by turning [NUMERIC] on,

using the TONE SELECT buttons to enter a Performance

number, and then pressing [ENTER].

Choosing from the Performance list

1. In the Main screen, use the cursor buttons to move the

cursor to the Performance number.
