Installing the Expansion Board in Your Product

Cautions when installing

  • Before you install this expansion board (hereafter referred to as "the board"), you should carefully read the procedure for installing expansion boards given in the owner's manual of the product in which you're installing it.
  • To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.

  • Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object, so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.

  • When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or connectors.
  • Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.

  • Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.

  • Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn't fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.
  • When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.

Installation in Your Product

ARX Series SuperNATURAL Expansion Boards

The ARX series SuperNATURAL expansion boards represent a further evolution for Roland's line of expansion solutions, which began with the SR-JV80 series and SRX series—they are a completely new type of expansion board. SuperNATURAL technology delivers natural, richly expressive sounds and effects along with a dedicated graphic user interface, all adding up to a comprehensive application environment that allows an unprecedented degree of expressive playability and customization.

Roland SuperNATURAL Technology

SuperNATURAL

Proprietary Roland sound generation technology that realistically reproduces the tonal changes and performance techniques distinctive of an acoustic instrument, allowing you to perform music that is natural and richly expressive.

ARX-03 Brass

High-quality brass sounds using SuperNATURAL technology

The ARX-03 Brass Expansion board uses SuperNATURAL technology to bring you high-quality brass sounds and new, more intuitive editing features.

Various performance expressions distinctive to brass instruments that were difficult to play from a keyboard can now be reproduced without special operations, and expressively played with realistic tone

Create brass sections with as many as six players with the new "Section" feature

In addition to playing each instrument solo, you can use the Section feature to create and play brass sections consisting of up to six "players." With this function, the performance of each player in the section will take advantage of the distinctive characteristics of the instrument being used; you are free to specify not only the type and volume balance of each instrument, but also make settings for the personality of each player, such as the accuracy and personality of the performance.

This is fundamentally different than the conventional method of "selecting a sound"; it is a new type of editing that allows you to produce high-quality brass sounds by creating your very own brass section.

Stereo reverb taken from the Fantom-G

Built into the ARX-03 are eight types of reverb taken from the Fantom-G. This beautiful reverberation will further enhance the amazing brass sounds.

Multi-effects that meet the needs of diverse musical styles

The ARX-03 contains fifteen multi-effects optimized for brass, including a Lo-Fi effect that delivers the "oldies" sound of the sixties, a comp-limiter used in rock styles to enhance the sonic power, and multiple delays that are particularly effective in solo performance.

The Structure of ARX-03 Brass

Basic structure

The ARX series of SuperNATURAL expansion boards receives performance data and control from a device that supports the ARX series, produces sound in response to this data, and transmits it as a stereo audio signal to the supporting device.

* The ARX series supports up to sixteen parts, but ARX-03 Brass product is designed with only one part.

Player

The "player" is the smallest unit of sound on the ARX-03 Brass.

For each player, you can select an instrument of eight types, such as trumpet, trombone, or sax.

The ARX-03 Brass can simultaneously use up to six players.

Patch

Settings for six players, MFX (multi-effect) settings, and reverb settings can be collectively saved as a "patch."

The ARX-03 Brass contains fifty such patches.

* If the ARX-03 is installed in a Fantom-G, the patch data is saved in the Fantom-G project.
* If you've installed the ARX-03 in a Fantom-G6/G7/G8, executing a Factory Reset for the Fantom-G6/G7/G8 will reset the expansion boards to their factory-set condition.

Different Ways to Play the ARX-03

Playing a Solo

By setting the Player Select parameter (p. 24) to a specific player from 1 through 6, you can play a solo for the specified player. Playing solo allows you to perform while conveying a sense of the breathing that's distinctive to wind instruments.

Diagram showing a piano keyboard with a trumpet above it, indicating musical notation or instruction.

Playing a Section

By setting the Player Select parameter (p. 24) to "ALL," you can play a section performance consisting of up to six players. The ARX-03 will automatically assign the notes among the six players according to your playing on the keyboard, allowing you to play the brass section by yourself.

When playing a section you can choose one of the two following performance modes.

* For details on switching between performance modes, refer to "Player Settings (Player Edit)" (p. 25).
- Unison mode (p. 21)
- Stack mode (p. 22)

Unison Mode

When you play a single key or multiple keys simultaneously with a four-player ensemble setting, the various instruments will be assigned as follows.

When you play single notes

All assigned instruments will sound at the same pitch. Each instrument will sound in an octave that's appropriate for it.

ROLAND ARX-03 - When you play single notes - 1

natural_image Illustration of piano keys and two brass instruments (no text or symbols)

When you play multiple notes simultaneously

Each instrument will automatically be assigned to a note you play. Units of instruments automatically assigned to a note you play are called a group.

Example: If you play two notes

Example: If you play four notes

Stack Mode

This allows you to successively layer each instrument in the order you've specified "Playing settings (Section Style screen)" (p. 29). Using this mode allows you to simulate the bell tones played by a brass ensemble.

When you play single notes

Only the first instrument will sound.

MEMO

For details on Control Assign 1–4, refer to "Multi-effect control (MFX Control Screen)" (p. 35).

Multi-effect control (MFX Control Screen)

If you want to use an external MIDI device to control multi-effect parameters such as the volume or delay time of the effect, you would normally need to transmit device-specific types of MIDI messages called "system exclusive" messages. However, system exclusive messages involve complex settings, and require a larger amount of data to be transmitted.

For this reason, the ARX-03 expansion board lets you use conventional MIDI messages, such as control change messages, to control some of the important multi-effect parameters. For example, you could use the pitch bend lever to change the amount of distortion, or use keyboard touch to change the delay time. The parameters that can be controlled in this way are pre-specified for each multi-effect type. For each multi-effect type, such parameters are indicated by a “#” symbol in the “Multi-effect parameters” list (p. 42).

Multi-effect control refers to this capability of using MIDI messages to control multi-effect parameters in real time. The ARX-03 expansion board lets you use four multi-effect control settings simultaneously.

To use multi-effect control, you need to specify which MIDI source (Source 1–4) will be controlled by which parameter (Control Assign 1–4), and to what extent (Sens 1–4).

About Note

Some parameters (such as Rate or Delay Time) can be set in terms of a note value instead of a time value.

Such parameters provide a Sync SW(Sync switch) that allows you to switch between setting the parameter as a note value or as a numerical value.

If you want to set it as a note value, set the Sync SW to ON.

* If a parameter that's chosen in Control Assign for multi-effect control has its Sync SW to ON, you won't be able to use multi-effect control to control that parameter.
