Architecture of Rapture

Rapture is composed of six individual sound generation components, called Elements.

A Rapture Program (stored as a file with a .PROG extension) is defined by the settings of all parameters within all Elements and the Global section. Each Element has a complete engine composed of an Oscillator, a per-voice DSP stage (Bit Reduction, Decimation, Drive and two multi-mode resonant filters), and a set of Modulators (envelope generators, low frequency oscillators and step generators) applied to the main sound generation parameters. The sound generated by the six Elements is mixed and routed to a global DSP stage (three band parametric equalizer and multi-effects section).

The Oscillator is the core of the sound manufacturing process. Each Oscillator is capable of high-quality, high-performance wavetable synthesis. This type of synthesis is an efficient method of creating sustained sounds by looping a minimal amount of audio data. In Rapture, the wavetable is defined by a single-cycle audio file.

During the wave loading procedure, Rapture creates all the sample images required for the Oscillator to play the single cycle across the whole keyboard range without any aliasing distortion. Rapture ships with over two hundred wavetable definition files, which can be expanded.

MIDI Controllers

To get the most out of Rapture, we recommend using a good MIDI controller. Many programs use the Mod Wheel, Aftertouch, and Velocity to change the sound of the program while the program is playing back.

This section provides a brief-but-useful introduction to Rapture's more significant concepts and most-used functions. More detailed information is included in later chapters of this User's Guide.

You can also access the online help topics by pressing the F1 key on your Windows keyboard or Command+?" on your Mac keyboard while the Rapture interface is launched.

Loading Programs

A Rapture program is made of up to six Elements. Each Element contains a wavetable oscillator and a chain of effects, filters, envelope generators, step generators, and LFO's. You can turn each Element off or on in the Mixer section at the bottom of Rapture's interface. If you want to use Rapture as a six-part multi-timbral synth, you can also set each Element to respond to a different MIDI channel.

To Load a Program

  1. Click the program window:

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Load a Program - 1

The Program Browser appears.

  1. Navigate to the folder where the desired program is located, and double-click the name of the program. Close the Program Browser after you double-click the program.

Rapture loads the program you double-clicked, and displays the program name in the program window.

You can also load a program by clicking the Program Handling button and choosing Load Program from the popup menu, or by drag and dropping a .PROG file into the Rapture window.

When you load a program, you load all the Elements at once, along with all the associated effects, filters, etc.

Loading Elements

Rapture allows you to create and load single element files. An element file stores a single Element's selected wavetable, modulators, EQ and insert effect settings as a disk file with an .ELEM extension. Element files can then be reloaded and recombined to create new programs.

Loading an Element file does not change any settings in the unselected Elements. If you wish to clear settings from all Elements before loading any Element files, initialize the program first by clicking the Program Handling button and choosing Initialize Program from the popup menu.

To Load an Element

  1. Right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) the Element button of the Element that you want to load a sound into (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 or E6).

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Load an Element - 1

  1. Select Load Element from the popup menu:

The Load Element dialog appears.

  1. Navigate to the folder where the desired Element is located, click the name of the Element, and click the Open button.

Rapture loads the Element you clicked and the Wavetable Display window shows the name of the wave file used by the wavetable oscillator. The graphic represents the single-cycle waveform used by the Oscillator to create a sustained sound.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Load an Element - 2

You can also load an Element by selecting any of the files in the Elements folder of the Program browser, or by drag and dropping an .ELEM file into the Rapture window

Tip: When you left-click an Element button to view that Element's settings, you can switch to another Element by pressing 1 through 6 on your computer keyboard (but not the Num Pad).

Combining and Mixing Elements

If you want to combine different Elements into a new program, simply load up to six Elements and then save a new program. This is valuable if you want to play different timbres at the same time: for example, you could double a lead and a pad.

Here's the procedure:

To Combine Elements into a New Program

  1. Initialize the program to clear all sounds and effects: click the Program Handling button and choose

Initialize Program from the popup menu (click Yes to the All Current Settings Will Be Discharged prompt).

Click the E1 button to display the controls for Element 1.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Combine Elements into a New Program - 1

  1. Load an Element into Element 1: right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) the E1 button, choose Load Element from the popup menu, navigate to the desired Element, select it and click the Open button.
  2. Adjust any effects, filters, etc. for Element 1, and make sure Element 1's On button is enabled in the Mixer section:

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Combine Elements into a New Program - 2

You can also adjust each Element's individual pan and volume settings in the Mixer section.

  1. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for any additional Elements you want to combine for this program (for Element 2, click button E2 to display the controls for Element 2, load an Element into Element 2, adjust settings for Element 2, and make sure Element 2's On button is enabled; for Element 3, click button E3, etc.).
  2. When you've loaded and configured up to six Elements, adjust the program's master stereo mix in the Master section.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Combine Elements into a New Program - 3

These master controls, Pan and Volume, modify the combined signal of all currently active Elements. The level meter gives a visual indication of the Rapture's stereo output.

Note: If the levels are high and you want a hard limiter applied to this program, enable the Limiter On button in the Master section. The limiter will ensure levels are always kept below digital zero (0 dB), which is very useful for highly resonant or distorted sounds.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Combine Elements into a New Program - 4

  1. When the program sounds the way you want it, save the program as described in the next section.

Saving Programs and Elements

Once you've configured a Program or an Element the way you want it, you can save it to your Programs or Elements folders. Rapture also allows you to set the program it will automatically load every time a new Rapture instance is inserted.

To Save a Program

  1. When the program sounds the way you want it, click the Program Handling button and choose Save Program or Save Program As from the popup menu.
  2. If you chose Save Program, Rapture saves the program under its current name in its current folder.

  3. If you chose Save Program As, the Save Program dialog appears: navigate to the folder where you want to save the program, type a name for the program, and click the Save button.

Rapture will automatically add the '.prog' extension to the program, and the program name display will be updated to reflect the program name.

To Save an Element

  1. When the Element sounds the way you want it, right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) that Element button and choose Save Element As from the popup menu. This opens the Save Element dialog.
  2. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the Element, type a name for the Element, and click the Save button.

To Save the Default Program

  1. Load the program that you want Rapture to use when you haven't chosen a program.
  2. Click the Program Handling button and choose Save Default Program from the popup menu.
  3. Click Yes when Rapture asks you if this is what you want to do.

Rapture saves the current program as the default program.

Using Effects

Insert FX are available for each individual Element, and a Program can contain both Global and Master FX. Each category of effect (Insert, Global and Master) features the same type of menu and parameter controls.

Here's the procedure for adding a master effect to your program:

To Apply Master FX to a Program

  1. Display the Global page by clicking the Global button.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Apply Master FX to a Program - 1

The Master FX section is located just above the Mixer section.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Apply Master FX to a Program - 2

  1. Choose an effect type by clicking the arrow in the FX window and then choosing an effect from the popup menu that appears.
  2. Adjust the effect with the corresponding parameter knobs.

For more information on effects, see "The Insert FX Section" on page 32.

Using Rapture as a Multimbral Instrument

Each of the six Elements can function as a separate instrument, if you want to use a single instance of Rapture as a six-part multi-timbral instrument.

To Use Rapture as a Multi-timbral Instrument

  1. Load the program that you want to use as a multimbral program.
  2. Click the Options button . The Options dialog appears.
  3. Check the Set Program As Multi-timbral option, and click OK.
  4. Save the program, if you want to change it to a multitimbral program.

When a program is in Multi-timbral mode, the six Elements respond to MIDI channels 1-6, respectively.

The Modulation Matrix

You can use the Modulation Matrix to virtually 'connect' different modulation sources to several parameters. The Modulation Matrix expands the control and performance behavior of a program

To Assign a Modulation Source to a Rapture Parameter (Modulator Destination)

  1. Display the Modulation Matrix by clicking the Show/Hide Modulation Matrix button
  2. In the Source column, click the arrow at the left side of the column to open the Modulation Source menu.
  3. Pick a Modulation Source that you want to use to control a Rapture parameter.
  4. In the Destination column, click the arrow at the left side of the column to open the Destination menu (a list of Rapture parameters).
  5. Click the Rapture parameter that you want to control with the Source you chose in the left column.

  6. In the Depth column, drag up or down to enter a number that controls how strongly and in which direction the parameter responds to changes in the source (negative numbers produce an inverse relationship).

  7. In the Smooth column, drag upward to produce a number that smooths out the response of the Destination to the Source.

The X/Y Pad

This X/Y Pad is used to adjust assigned synth parameter levels by dragging the X/Y crosshair around the pad. Parameter levels rise and fall as you move the crosshair.

The Desaccel field allows you to slow down the response of the cross hair—higher values cause a slower response.

Open the X/Y Pad by clicking the Show/Hide Vector Mixer button.

ROLAND RAPTURE - The X/Y Pad - 1

To Assign Parameters to the X/Y Pad

  1. Display the Modulation Matrix by clicking the Show/Hide Modulation Matrix button
  2. In the Source column, click the arrow at the left side of the column to open the Modulation Source menu.
  3. From the Source menu, select X/Y Pad X or X/Y Pad Y.
  4. In the Destination column, click the arrow at the left side of the column to open the Modulation Destination menu.
  5. From the Destination menu, select any of the available synth parameters.

The X/Y Pad will now control the selected parameters. You can assign as many parameters to the X/Y Pad as space provides in the Modulation Matrix.

The Main Interface

ROLAND RAPTURE - The Main Interface - 1

The main Rapture interface consists of three areas:

Program area (top)

In this area we can find the program selector/loader, and the buttons for Program Handling, Options, the Modulation Matrix and the X/Y Pad.

The Modulation Matrix and X/Y Pad are deployable windows. In the Modulation Matrix window, all

modulation assignments for the current preset are defined. The X/Y Pad allows you to control synth parameters .

Elements area (middle)

This area has an horizontal selector button to choose the Element for editing (1-6), plus all the Element components like the EQ and Step Generator.

  • Mixer/Master area (bottom)

This area has the mixer controls for the six elements, as well as master controls to adjust the final stereo mix.

Rapture also has a Global page with settings for Global and master FX. Access the Global page by pressing the Global button next to the Element selection buttons.

ROLAND RAPTURE - The Main Interface - 2
The Global Page

The Interface's Controls

All the functions in Rapture are performed by the following controls:

Horizontal Selectors

The horizontal selectors are always in the header of a section, and are used to choose a 'page' for editing in a multiple-page context.

They're used to select the main component page (Element 1-6, Global), and the Modulator page (Pitch, Cutoff 1 & 2, Resonance 1 & 2, Pan and Amplitude).

ROLAND RAPTURE - Horizontal Selectors - 1

ROLAND RAPTURE - Horizontal Selectors - 2

To Use Horizontal Selectors

  • Direct Clicking or Clicking and Dragging can be used to select each page in the Horizontal Selectors.
  • If a horizontal selector is 'active', it will receive keystrokes. Number keys can be used to select each page when active.

Knobs

Parameters that are continuously variable and suited for automation are controlled by knobs. The knobs in Rapture can be operated by mouse movements, mouse wheel, keyboard, or MIDI messages.

When a parameter is not active (if the whole section is off, for instance), the knob will become semi-transparent. If a knob is operated when in this status, the parameter will be adjusted. However, there won't be any change to the resulting sound.

ROLAND RAPTURE - Knobs - 1

To Use Knobs

  • Hovering the mouse over the knob for a moment (without clicking on it) will make a tooltip appear, displaying the currently selected element, the parameter name and the current parameter value.
  • Clicking on the knob, then moving the mouse vertically will adjust the parameter value. A tooltip will show the parameter value for current adjustment.
  • Double-clicking on the knob will set the parameter to its default value (the 'natural' value for each parameter).
    After a knob is clicked (or double-clicked), it becomes 'active'. When a knob is active, it receives mouse wheel messages and keystrokes.
  • The mouse wheel will change the parameter value in ± 5% steps for the active knob. If the Shift key is down while moving the wheel, the knob will move in ± 1% steps, allowing for more precise adjustment. Tooltips will display the parameter value for mouse wheel messages as long as the mouse cursor is over the knob. Knobs won't generate interpolated values on mouse wheel.

If a knob is 'active', it will receive keystrokes. The following keys can be used to change the parameter value:

Key...

Left, Right arrow

Up, Down arrow

Home

End

Change...

± 0.1%

± 1%

Minimum

Maximum

  • Tooltips will display the parameter value for mouse wheel messages as long as the mouse cursor is over the knob. Knobs won't generate interpolated values on keystrokes.

Buttons

Buttons are used to turn on/off a component.

ROLAND RAPTURE - Buttons - 1

Clicking on a button will turn the component on/off, and the button image will reflect the status.

Up/Down selectors

Parameters with numerical values, not suitable for automation are controlled via Up/Down selectors. An example of this type of parameters is the Low and High Keyboard Note for any Element, in the Oscillator control display.

Lo/Hi Key 0 127

  • The Up/Down selectors are controlled in the same way as the knobs: clicking on it and moving the mouse vertically. However, adjusting an Up/Down selector won't result in interpolated values. A tooltip will show the parameter value for current adjustment.
  • Like the knobs, after an Up/Down selector is clicked, it becomes active. The font color will change to orange when in that status.
  • When a text selector is active, it can receive mouse wheel messages and keystrokes.
  • Since many parameters represented by Up/Down selectors have broad ranges, and at the same time they require precise adjustments, the following modifiers can be used to achieve different speed/resolution changes while using the mouse:
Modifier...Change...
ShiftSmall steps (small parameter movements, increased resolution)
Control (Command on a Mac)Big steps (big parameter changes, reduced resolution)
  • The range and step size for each parameter is shown in the 'Parameter Ranges' table. See "Appendix A: Parameter Reference" on page 51.

  • If an Up/Down selector is active, it will receive keystrokes. The following keys can be used to change the parameter value:

Key...Parameter Value...
Up/Down ArrowsNext/Previous parameter value. Standard Steps.
Page Up/DownStep forward/backward 10 steps

Text Selectors

The text selectors are used to choose a value for parameters that have multiple options, non-numerical. An example of this kind of parameter is the Insert FX Type.

ROLAND RAPTURE - Text Selectors - 1

A text selector will advance to next/previous value when the display text is left/right clicked (left click/Control+click on a Mac).

When a Text Selector is clicked, it becomes active. The font color will change to orange when in that status. When a text selector is active, it can receive mouse wheel messages and keystrokes. The following keys can be used to change the parameter value:

Key...Change...
Up/Down ArrowsNext/Previous parameter value
Page Up/DownStep forward/backward 10 steps

Tip: Many text selector values can also be accessed via a menu. Click the gray triangle to the left or right of a text selector to view available options in a popup menu.

Envelope, Step Generator, LFO Waveform and Key Tracking controls

The Modulators section includes special controls to set the Envelope Generators, Step Generator, the LFO Waveforms and the Keyboard Tracking. For precise details on how to operate those controls, see "The Modulators Section" on page 36.

The following sections describe the advanced functionality of Rapture and other details not covered in the introductory topics.

Programs, Elements and Audio Files

As described in the Getting Started chapter, a Rapture program has six Elements at its disposal, making for sophisticated sound programming potential. A program consists of the settings for these six elements, including references to the wavetables used by all oscillators, and all global settings.

File Organization

After installation, the following folders will be created inside the Rapture folder:

File/Folder...Stores...
Documentation\Documentation folderRelease Notes, User Manual and Registration information.
Lfo Waveforms\Lfo Waveforms folderAll factory LFO waveforms. User-defined waveforms can be stored here as well.
MIDI\MIDI folderAll MIDI Learn data.
Multisamples\Multisamples folder All factory wavetablesmultisample definitions and sample collections.
Programs\Programs folder All factory presets/programs.Rapture will point to this folder on Save...Program.
Programs\Elements\Elements folder All factory elements. Rapture will point to this folder on Save...Element.
Sample Pool\Sample Pool folder Project/Demo song specific samples.
Tunings\Tunings folder All microtuning and alternate tuning files.

Program Files

Program files (.prog) can be anywhere in the disk or network. The 'Programs' folder was created for organizational purposes, but the user can save a program anywhere.

Program files are not required for the Song Persistence to work. A copy of the program file is saved as persistence, and it's reloaded on song reload.

This means each song will include a 'snapshot' of the used programs in the moment the song was last saved. This allows you to preserve old songs and their settings even if factory programs are updated in the future.

Elements

Rapture can save and load individual Elements to file. The idea here is making an 'Element Set', capable of serving as 'quick construction kit' for new programs. An element file contains all settings for an element, including the wavetable and oscillator parameters, with all modulators and DSP settings applied.

Tip: Elements stored in the default Elements folder can be loaded directly via the Program Browser. Launch the Pogram Browser and navigate to the Elements folder to make your selection. Loading an Element in this way will not affect the other Elements within the program.

Audio Files

Rapture specializes in using single-cycle audio files to define wavetable, driving the Oscillator for wavetable synthesis. However, Rapture allows a variety of other audio file types to be loaded as well. Unlike Program files, audio files (.SFZ, .WAV, .AIF, .AIFF, .OGG) are not included in the Song Persistence. Therefore, songs will be affected by any changes to the original audio source.

Additionally, the samples are external standard wave files which can be edited using a standard wave editor. Consequently, this warning is here: if a multisample definition file is edited, and/or a sample file is edited, the old song might sound different after reloading it if it happens to use the edited files.

Samples

If a sample defined inside an .sfz definition file is missing, Rapture will try to load it from the original location on Program/Song reload.

If that wave file isn't in the original location, Rapture will try to find it in the Sample Pool folder. This simplifies exchanging sample files between users.

Rapture will report every sample it can't find after above attempts fail.

Loading Samples

You can load single samples (Wave or AIFF files), or multi-samples, (SFZ files) which already contain key mapping and velocity switching assignments. You can load samples in any bit depth and sample rate, in mono or stereo, in looped or unlooped format. Wave and AIFF files can be loaded directly, or as a sample inside an SFZ definition file.

Samples can be of any bit depth (8 to 32-bit), any samplerate, and either mono or stereo. Each sample in a multisample can be a standard PCM Windows wave file (.wav), an Apple audio format (.AIFF) or a compressed file in the standard, high-quality, open and royalty-free ogg-vorbis format (.OGG). Those files can also be loaded directly into an Element.

Alternatively, it is possible to open multisample definition files (.sfz) or individual samples by drag and dropping them into Rapture window. The sample will be loaded into the selected element.

Tip: If a multisample or individual sample (even samples inside a multisample) is loaded more than once, across multiple elements, or multiple instances of Rapture, the sample will exist in memory only once. The size indicated for the second and subsequent instances will be zero, which boosts memory efficiency.

Loading a sample or multisample does not clear the effects that may be patched into Rapture at the time of loading. If you want to clear all effects first, initialize the program by clicking the Program Handling button and choosing Initialize Program from the popup menu.

A multisample consists of a group of samples, their key mapping, and velocity switching. If you want to change key mapping and/or velocity switching, you can edit each multisample's .sfz file, which is found in the multisample folder along with the multisamples. You can use Notepad to edit a .sfz file. The .sfz format is explained at http://www.rgcaudio.com/sfzformat.htm.

Note: Rapture can read .sfz files in Unicode (little or big endian), UTF-8 and ANSI. Inside unicode/utf files, any character set can be used in the definition of folder and filenames. It is possible to install Rapture in a unicode-named folder.

  1. Click the Wavetable Display window to open the Load Multisample dialog, and navigate to the folder where the desired wavetable or sample is located.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Load a Wavetable or Sample - 1

Note: Rapture streams samples from RAM, so only samples under a minute in length are suitable for loading, depending on the amount of RAM in your computer. Playback of a stereo sample will use more

CPU than a mono sample, but less CPU than two mono samples.

  1. Click the name of the wavetable or sample, and click the Open button.

Or

  • Drag a wave file from the Windows Explorer or the MacOS Finder to Rapture's Oscillator section.

Tip: You can navigate forwards and backwards through wave files in the current wave directory without opening a browse dialog by left-clicking or right-clicking (Ctrl-click on a Mac) the waveform in the Wavetable Display window.

Editing Oscillator Controls

Once the wavetable is loaded into the Element, you can adjust a number of mapping, tuning, and performance parameter. The following controls are located in the Oscillator section:

ROLAND RAPTURE - Editing Oscillator Controls - 1

Control...Does This...Value Type...
Lo/Hi KeyChanges the range of notes that the element will play.Note Number
Lo/Hi VelChanges the velocity range that the element will play.Velocity Value
Bend Up/DownChanges the pitch bend range.Semitones
Sust/SostChanges whether the element responds to MIDI Sustain data (cc # 64), or MIDI Sostenuto (cc # 66).Off/On
TransposeChanges the pitch (keyboard mapping is unaffected).Semitones
TuneAdjusts the pitch in one-cent increments, up or down.Cents
KeytrackChanges the pitch variation for each note, in cents.Cents per Key
PhaseAdjusts the initial phase of the waveform, from 0 to 360 degrees, when a MIDI Note On event arrives.It is possible to create complex sound textures by combining waveforms in two oscillators with different starting phases.Degrees
QualityDefines how the wavetable rendering quality."Standard" should be used when no exposed pitch sweeps are performed with that oscillator. "High" will perform a high-order partial-level interpolation, allowing huge pitch sweeps without audible aliasing.Std/Hi
MultiTurns the currently loaded wavetable into multiple oscillators (voices), spread across the stereo field at even distributions and with different detuning levels.Note that the detuning level is regulated by the Detune control.Off, 3v, 5v, 7v, 9v
Ring ModChanges the oscillator into TWO oscillators which ring modulate each other. For more information, see "Ring Modulation" on page 27.Note that the detune level between both oscillators is regulated by the Detune control.On/Off
DetuneApplied to the most-detuned oscillators when in Multi or Ring Mod mode; the middle oscillators are interpolated from that value. The Detune range is one semitone, or 100 cents.Cents
Porta TimeForces pitch glide when polyphony is set to 0 (monophonic/legato mode).Value ranges from 0 to 10 seconds.Seconds
PolyphonySets the polyphony for the element. Setting Polyphony to 1 puts that Element in monophonic mode, setting it to 0 puts that Element in monophonic and legato mode.Notes
LayersShows what sample layer is currently playing. Rapture defines a Layer as the playback for one sample, either mono or stereo.This field is display only, 0 to INF.

Tip: The Multi and Ring Mod controls are suitable for much higher detuning factors, if extreme effects are wanted. Further detuning is available via the Modulation Matrix.

Copying, Unloading, and Resetting Elements

If you right-click (Control-click on a Mac) an Element button (E1 through E6), a popup context menu appears, which contains the following commands:

  • Unload Element—removes the multisample from the multisample window without removing parameter settings.
  • Reset Element—removes the multisample from the multisample window and removes all parameter settings.
  • Copy Element—places all information from current Element, including multisample assignments and all parameter settings, on the clipboard.
  • Paste Element—pastes copied Element data from the clipboard to the current Element: to paste, right-click (Control-click on a Mac) the Element button of the Element that you want to paste to, and select Paste Element from the popup menu.

  • Paste Element Fx—pastes only Insert Fx settings from a copied Element to the current Element.

Remember, only one Element can be selected and edited at a time. Read on for details about the remaining Element context menu items.

Chaining Elements

Sometimes a program requires two different wavetables to be processed with their own LoFi, Filter and Drive settings, but with the same EQ and effects applied to both.

The result of that operation is the same as mixing the two elements and then applying the EQ and effects on the mix. However, the CPU usage in the latter is much lower, since only one set of effects is operational.

Rapture allows you to 'chain' the output of one element into the effects of the next, for the first five elements. Chain to Next Element is in the last section of the Element context menu. Re-select this menu item to unchain the elements.

Ring Modulation

"Modulation" in this sense means that an aspect of the audio signal is being modified in an explicit way using digital signal processing. Ring Modulation is a process in which two audio signals are used to create a new signal containing the sum and differences of those frequencies. These frequencies will typically be non-harmonic, resulting in rather disharmonic, bell-like sounds.

Mathematically, the resulting frequency is the sum and the difference of the input frequencies, or the 'sidebands' where the upper sidebands are the sums and the lower sidebands are the differences. Use Rapture's Detune parameter in either the Oscillator section or the Modulation Matrix (destination Detune), to control the modulation amount.

Rapture offers the Ring Modulate Previous Elements option in the Element context menu. When this menu item is checked, the current Element will ring-modulate the output of all previous elements.

The DSP Section

The DSP section of Rapture contains Filter, Drive and LoFi parameters. Independent controls are provided for two Filters, the LoFi module, and the Drive module. The order of these processes can be altered, thereby modifying the signal path and the resulting sound.

To Reorder the DSP Chain

  • Click on the signal path above the controls to cycle through the available reordering options or to Bypass the section entirely. Left-click or right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) on the signal path to iterate forwards or backwards respectively.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Reorder the DSP Chain - 1

Using the Filters

The DSP section provides two multimode filters. This is useful for filter effects, such as combining low-pass and high-pass frequency filters or using two separate bandpass filters. Rapture's filters provide a wide selection of filter types, which you choose from the dropdown menu:

ROLAND RAPTURE - Using the Filters - 1

The dropdown menu has the following choices:

Filter...Description...
LP1PLow Pass, One-Pole filter (6dB/octave roll-off). Allows passing all frequencies below the specified by the Cutoff knob. Above that frequency, there's a 6dB/octave roll-off, very gentle. This filter doesn't feature resonance.
HP1PHigh Pass, One-Pole filter (6dB/octave roll-off). Allows passing all frequencies above the specified by the Cutoff knob. Below that frequency, there's a 6dB/octave roll-off, very gentle. This filter doesn't feature resonance.
BP1PBand Pass composed of two One-Pole LP and HP filters in series (6dB/octave roll-off). Allows passing all frequencies in the neighborhood of the specified by the Cutoff knob. Above and below that frequency, there's a 6dB/octave roll-off, very gentle.
BR1PBand Rejection composed of two One-Pole HP and LP filters in series (6dB/octave roll-off). Allows passing all frequencies except the ones in the neighborhood of the specified by the Cutoff knob. Surrounding that frequency, there's a 6dB/octave roll-off, very gentle. This filter doesn't feature resonance.
AP1PAll Pass, One-Pole filter. This filter is used to introduce sub-sample delay times. This is useful when phase aligning samples between different elements. This is a very subtle effect.
LP2PLow Pass, Two-Pole filter (12dB/octave roll-off). This filter allows passing all frequencies below the specified by the Cutoff knob. Above that frequency, there's a 12dB/octave roll-off in amplitude. This filter features resonance, which is a boost of the frequencies surrounding the cutoff frequency. Resonance can dramatically increase the loudness. Please make sure you have the main Limiter turned on when editing programs with high resonance.
HP2PHigh Pass, Two-Pole filter (12dB/octave roll-off).This filter allows passing all frequencies above the specified by the Cutoff knob. Below that frequency, there's a 12dB/octave roll-off in amplitude.This filter features resonance, which is a boost of the frequencies surrounding the cutoff frequency.Resonance can dramatically increase the loudness. Please make sure you have the main Limiter turned on when editing programs with high resonance.
BP2PBand Pass, Two-Pole filter (12dB/octave roll-off).This filter allows passing all frequencies around the specified by the Cutoff knob. Below and above that frequency, there's a 12dB/octave roll-off in amplitude.This filter features resonance, which is a boost of the frequencies surrounding the cutoff frequency.High resonance settings on a band pass filter result in a narrow output bandwidth. For most sounds, this is percieved as a reduced loudness. However, if the incoming sound frequency matches the filter cutoff, a dramatically high loudness is expected. Please make sure you have the main Limiter turned on when editing programs with high resonance.
BR2PBand Rejection, Two-Pole filter (12dB/octave roll-off).This filter allows passing all frequencies except the ones around the specified by the Cutoff knob. Surrounding that frequency, there's a 12dB/octave roll-off in amplitude.
PK2PPeak Filter. This filter will reinforce the Cutoff frequency by 6dB, and the surrounding frequencies with a slope of 12dB/octave.The width of the peak is adjusted with the Resonance knob.
LP4PLow Pass, Four-Pole filter (24dB/octave roll-off).This filter allows passing all frequencies below the specified by the Cutoff knob. Above that frequency, there's a 24dB/octave roll-off in amplitude.This filter features resonance, which is a boost of the frequencies surrounding the cutoff frequency.Resonance can dramatically increase the loudness. Please make sure you have the main Limiter turned on when editing programs with high resonance.
HP4PHigh Pass, Four-Pole filter (24dB/octave roll-off).This filter allows passing all frequencies above the specified by the Cutoff knob. Below that frequency, there's a 24dB/octave roll-off in amplitude.This filter features resonance, which is a boost of the frequencies surrounding the cutoff frequency.Resonance can dramatically increase the loudness. Please make sure you have the main Limiter turned on when editing programs with high resonance.
LP6PLow Pass, Six-Pole filter (36dB/octave roll-off).This filter allows passing all frequencies below the specified by the Cutoff knob. Above that frequency, there's a 36dB/octave roll-off in amplitude.This filter features resonance, which is a boost of the frequencies surrounding the cutoff frequency.Resonance can dramatically increase the loudness. Please make sure you have the main Limiter turned on when editing programs with high resonance.
HP6PHigh Pass, Six-Pole filter (36dB/octave roll-off).This filter allows passing all frequencies above the specified by the Cutoff knob. Below that frequency, there's a 36dB /octave roll-off in amplitude.This filter features resonance, which is a boost of the frequencies surrounding the cutoff frequency.Resonance can dramatically increase the loudness. Please make sure you have the main Limiter turned on when editing programs with high resonance.
PINKMultiple Knee filter, composed of multiple Low Pass, One-Pole filters.This is a static filter, generally used to create pink noise. When applied to sample material it has the effect of creating a slight darkening on the tone, without affecting the sound character at all.
COMBComb filter.A comb filter creates several frequency 'notches', which color the sound in a particular way.

Using the LoFi Module

Rapture's LoFi module contains a bit reduction effect and a decimation effect that you can apply to the current Element.

The bit reduction effect emulates the sound of older, low bit-resolution samplers. The decimation effect continuously adjusts the sample rate.

ROLAND RAPTURE - Using the LoFi Module - 1

To Use Bit Reduction

  1. Enable the On button that's above the Bit Red knob.
  2. Adjust the Bit Red knob between 0 and 100% to achieve the desired sound.

To Use Decimation

  1. Enable the On button that's above the Decim knob.
  2. Adjust the Decim knob between 0 and 100% to achieve the desired sound.

Using the Drive Module

Rapture's Drive module adds various overdrive effects, which you choose from the dropdown menu. The Drive knob adjusts the shape of the selected effect.

TubeVery soft effect. A shaping process like the one found in tube amplifiers is applied.
SoftSlight overdrive.
MidMid overdrive.
HardAggressive overdrive effect, ideal to be applied on solo lead instruments
AsymmetricBright distortion effect.

Using the EQ's

Rapture's three EQ modules give you tremendous control over the sound of each Element.

Each EQ has the following controls:

ROLAND RAPTURE - Using the EQ's - 1

  • On button—enable this button to use the EQ.
  • Low shelf button—when this button is enabled, the EQ modifies all frequencies below the Freq knob value.
  • Band pass button—when this button is enabled, the EQ modifies all frequencies surrounding the Freq knob value.
  • High shelf button—when this button is enabled, the EQ modifies all frequencies above the Freq knob value.
  • Gain knob—turn this knob to the left to cut the selected frequencies by up to 24 dB, or to the right to boost by up to 24 dB.
  • Freq knob—turn this knob to select a frequency between 8 and 22480Hz .
  • Q knob—turn this knob to the left to narrow the range of affected frequencies, or to the right to widen the range.

The Insert FX Section

Each element in Rapture contains an Insert FX section featuring several combinations of Delay, Filter, Modulation, Phaser, Reverb and Distortion effects.. Depending on the mode selected, the knobs control different effect parameters as described below.

Note: Knobs and the Filter are disabled (greyed-out) when not applicable to the selected mode.

Delay Mode

Rapture's Insert FX section offers many delay types in the Type menu, and has a built-in filter that you can select options for in the Filter menu.

The Delay mode has the following controls:

ROLAND RAPTURE - Delay Mode - 1

ROLAND RAPTURE - Delay Mode - 2

  • Delay menu—choose the desired type of delay effect, defined in the following table:
Delay Type...Description...
OffNo Effect. All CPU usage is recovered.
Stereo DelayA stereo delay effect, with independent delay lines for both stereo channels and output filter. The delay output is routed through the filter.
Cross Feedback DelayTwo independent delay lines, with the feedback of each channel routed to the input of the other. The delay output is routed through the filter.
Ping DelayA delay effect where the echoes bounce in the stereo field. The delay output is routed through the filter.
L/R/C DelayThe first echo appears in left channel, the second in the right channel and subsequent images move gradually to the center. The delay output is routed through the filter.
R/L/C DelayThe first echo appears in right channel, the second in the left channel and subsequent images move gradually to the center. The delay output is routed through the filter.
Triple DelaySimilar to Stereo Delay, but a mono echo image with independent delay time appears centered in the stereo field. The delay output is routed through the filter.
Detuning DelayA static delayed image appears, tuned differently than the original according to the Modulation Frequency and Depth settings.
ChorusA standard stereo modulated delay, with feedback. This setting allows for several Chorus and Flanger effects.
SymphonicA multiple voice chorus effect.
LFO Filter DelaySimilar to Stereo Delay, but a low frequency oscillator is used to change the filter cutoff. Filter is applied to the wet signal only.
Panning DelayA delay effect where the echo image is panned in the stereo by a low frequency oscillator.
Auto PanThe low frequency oscillator is used to move the sound in the stereo field cyclically.
LFO FilterSignal is processed by the filter, and the filter cutoff is modulated by the Low Frequency Oscillator.
Phased DelaySimilar to Stereo Delay, with the output passed thru a Phaser. The CENTER, LFO FREQ and LFO DEPTH control the Phaser behavior.
Filter/PhaserA combination of a Filter effect with a Phaser effect. Both effects are controlled with the same LFO, so LFO FREQ and LFO DEPTH will control the filter and phaser sweep and depth simultaneously.
  • Filter menu—choose the type of filter. Choices are Low Pass (LP), Band Pass (BP), High Pass (HP), Band Reject (BR), All Pass (AP), Peak (PK), Comb filter, and Pink. Strength choices are 6 dB(1P) up to 36 dB (6P).
  • Delay parameters—Left delay: choose a tempo ratio. Center delay: choose a tempo ratio (knob is greyed-out if the delay type doesn't use a center delay). Right delay: choose a tempo ratio. Feedback: choose from 0 to 100% .
  • Filter parameters—choose a cutoff frequency and resonance level. A knob is greyed-out if the chosen filter doesn't support the parameter that the knob controls.

LFO parameters-if a chosen delay type uses an LFO, set the frequency and depth with these two knobs. Knobs are greyed-out if the relevant parameter is not used.
- Mix parameters—use these knobs to control the Delay input level and dry/wet mix.

Reverb Mode

Rapture's Insert FX section also offers many reverbs in the Type menu.

The Reverb mode uses several knobs for parameter control:

ROLAND RAPTURE - Reverb Mode - 1

ROLAND RAPTURE - Reverb Mode - 2

  • Type menu—choose the desired type of reverb effect: Small Room, Mid Room, Large Room, Small Hall, Mid Hall, Large Hall, and Chamber.
  • Reverb Size parameter—use the Center knob to adjust the size
  • Reverb Damp parameter—use the Feedback knob to adjust reverb damping
  • Reverb Tone parameter—use the Cutoff knob to adjust the reverb tone
  • Mix parameters—use these knobs to control the Reverb input level and wet/dry mix.

Distortion Mode

Rapture's Insert FX section also includes distortion effects in the Type menu.

The Distortion mode uses several knobs for parameter control:

ROLAND RAPTURE - Distortion Mode - 1

ROLAND RAPTURE - Distortion Mode - 2

Type menu—choose the desired type of distortion effect: Distortion 1 or Distortion 2.
Distortion Feedback parameter—use the Feedback knob to adjust the distortion feedback
Distortion Tone parameter—use the Cutoff knob to adjust the distortion tone
- Mix parameters—use these knobs to control the Distortion input level and wet/dry mix.

Caution: Distortion effects can be very loud, so make sure you have the Limiter turned On before applying them. Use the DRY/WET knob to adjust the overall level of the distortion effect. The Limiter can be turned Off after the adjustment is complete.

The Modulators Section

Unlike other synthesizer designs where just a few Envelope Generators (EG), Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO), Keyboard Tracking generators, etc. are shared and routed to the destination parameter via a Modulation Matrix, Rapture has one set of dedicated components for each destination.

In this way, a total of forty-two Envelope Generators, forty-two Low Frequency Oscillators, forty-two Keyboard Tracking Generators, and forty-two Step Generators are available for a program, and they can be all active at once with their own settings.

The Modulators section allows you to generate envelopes to control an Element's pitch, cutoff and resonance for both filters, pan and amplitude/volume.

Envelope Generators

Rapture's Envelope Generators (EG) are possibly the most advanced EG system currently available, and provide much of the basis for Rapture's versatility. Each EG features an arbitrary amount of envelope segments, with adjustable shape, keyboard tracking and velocity tracking for each segment. The EG also allow looping, so they can be turned in a complex wave low frequency oscillator.

The EG will start working on note-on, and will follow all defined segments until the last node, if there's no loop nor sustain point defined. Once the final node is reached, the level will remain unchanged for the whole note duration.

When the Amplitude Envelope Generator reaches the last node and if no loop is defined, it will deactivate the layer (layer expired).

If a sustain point is defined, the EG will start on note on and will follow all defined segments until the sustain node is reached. Then the level will remain unchanged until the Note-Off event for the layer. Then the segments defined

after sustain point will be operational, stopping once the final node is reached.

If a loop is defined, the EG will move to the defined loop start node once it reaches the sustain node, over and over again.

Here are some procedures for generating envelopes:

To Display an Envelope

  • To display the envelope for pitch, cutoff, resonance, pan, or amplitude, respectively, click the Pitch button, Cutoff 1 or 2 button, Resonance 1 or 2 button, Pan button, or Amplitude button, respectively. After you click an envelope button, you can switch between envelopes by pressing the numbers 1 through 7 on your keyboard (not the Num Pad).

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Display an Envelope - 1

To Turn On an Envelope Generator

  1. Display the desired envelope.
  2. Click the EG Status field so that it's on.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Turn On an Envelope Generator - 1

To Edit EG Depth and Velocity Response

To edit EG Depth, drag the Depth field up or down.
To edit velocity intensity, drag the Vel->int value up or down. This controls the intensity in which the Note-on velocity affects the modulation depth.
To edit how velocity affects EG times, as a multiplier of the time, drag the Vel->tim value up or down.
To edit how velocity affects the current envelope's value, drag the Vel Track field up or down.

To Graph or Edit an Envelope

  1. Click an envelope button to display the desired envelope, and make sure the EG Status field is On.
  2. Add and edit nodes according to the following table:

Hold your mouse over the end node of the line segment, and press N on your keyboard, or right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) above the EG grid and choose Toggle Envelope Shape from the context menu. The segment turns dark blue when the exponential curve is being used.

Click the node, then press any of the Arrow keys. Hold the Shift key down to move by finer increments.

Select the desired node and press S on your keyboard, or right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) above the EG grid and choose Set/Clear Active Node as Sustain from the context menu. Rapture adds a vertical red line under the node. Open the context menu or press S again to clear the loop point.

Select the desired node and press the key L, or right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) above the EG grid and choose Set/Clear Active Node as Loop from the context menu. Open the context menu or press L again to remove loop start point.

Adjust Time Velocity Tracking for a segment.

Try increasing the velocity tracking value for different parts of a sample's amplitude curve, and playing your keyboard harder or softer to hear the difference. For example, if you set a positive value for the attack segment of an amplitude curve, playing your keyboard harder increases the time that the attack segment takes.

Make the EG window active (click anywhere on it), then press the V on your keyboard (this is a toggle command), or right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) above the EG grid and choose Edit Segment Time Velocity Tracking from the context menu.

Orange-shaded bars appear above or below the horizontal center line of the graph, depending on each segment's velocity tracking setting.

Positive bars (above the center line of the graph) mean higher velocity = longer time.

Negative bars (below the center line of the graph) mean higher velocity = shorter time.

If there is no positive or negative value for velocity tracking in a segment, no orange bar appears.

To add or adjust a velocity tracking value to a segment, drag in the area above or below the center line of the graph within a line segment's boundaries. The tracking value works by multiplying the segment time, from 0.1x to 10x.

Adjust Time Keyboard Tracking for a segment

Try increasing the time keyboard tracking value for different parts of a sample's amplitude curve, and playing your keyboard higher or lower to hear the difference. For example, if you set a positive value for the attack segment of an amplitude curve, playing higher notes on your keyboard increases the time that the attack segment takes.

Make the EG window active (click anywhere on it), then press the K on your keyboard (this is a toggle command) or right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) above the EG grid and choose Edit Segment Time Keyboard Tracking from the context menu.

Blue-shaded areas appear above or below each line segment, depending on each segment's time keyboard tracking setting.

Positive bars (above the center line of the graph) mean higher range = longer time.

Negative bars (below the center line of the graph) mean higher range = shorter time.

ITo add a time keyboard tracking value to a segment, drag in the area above or below the center line of the graph within the line segment's boundaries.

To adjust a value, click between the two nodes surrounding the desired segment, drag vertically to adjust. The tracking value works by multiplying the segment time, from 0.1x to 10x.

Low Frequency Oscillators

The Low Frequency Oscillators (LFO) in Rapture are a great component to add animation and movement to the sound. Originally intended to emulate the vibrato and tremolo found in natural acoustic instruments, synthesizers have redefined their use, making them a fundamental component in the construction of evolving pads and textures.

As with the EG, one LFO is available for each destination in each element, for a total of forty-two LFOs which can be operative simultaneously.

The LFO main parameter is the LFO waveform. Rapture has a graphical waveform selector, which allows selecting the wave shape and phase for the selected waveform.

Selections...Description...
Waveform·Left/Right-click (Left/Control-click on a Mac) on the waveform to select next/previous waveform, or ·Right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) above the LFO window to access all LFO options from a popup menu.
Phase·Hold the Shift key, then click on the waveform and drag horizontally to select the LFO start-up phase ·Press the Left/Right arrow keys for 1 degree adjustment ·Press Shift plus the Left/Right arrow keys for 10 degree adjustment

Tip: Rapture allows user-defined waveforms for LFOs as well. The following requirements must be satisfied to add your own waveforms:

  • User defined waveforms need to be stored in the folder \LFO Waveforms.
  • Files must be named in a consecutive numbering order:

LfoWaveform030.wav

LfoWaveform031.wav

LfoWaveform032.wav

etc...

Note that the first twenty waveforms (0 to 19) are hard-coded, therefore numbering should begin at "...020."
Rapture supports up to 80 user-defined LFO wave files (020 to 099).
LFO files must be standard wav files, 8 to 32-bit mono (stereo will be converted to mono by adding both channels), any samplerate and length.
Note that waveform 100/101 is an internal random generator, unipolar/bipolar respectively.

Beyond the selected waveform, each LFO features the following parameters:

Parameters...Description...
StatusTurns the LFO on or off, or puts it in Shot mode.
Shot is short for “one-shot,” and means the LFO plays one cycle of the LFO shape at the beginning of the voice event and does not repeat.
FreqFrequency, in Hertz. The waveform indicator will display the selected frequency, with a horizontal scale of two seconds. This is, two cycles will be shown when the frequency is set to 1Hz.
SyncSynchronize to Host Tempo, in Beats. When Sync is in the Off position, the LFO will move at the frequency defined by the previous value (Freq). When a Sync value is selected, from 1/8t to 128d, the LFO will follow the host tempo and position, generating one cycle each time the host moves through the specified beat value. For instance, if Sync is set to 1, the LFO will generate one cycle in each host beat.
DelayTime from Note-On message to LFO startup, in Seconds. After Note-On, the LFO will wait a time to start working, as specified by this parameter. A value of zero means instant startup.
FadeTime for LFO fade-in, in seconds. Once the LFO starts working (after LFO Delay time), the LFO modulation level will rise gradually to a maximum, which will be reached after the time specified by the Fade parameter.
DepthLFO modulation depth. This determines how much the LFO will affect the selected destination, expressed in the destination units. For instance, for the Pitch LFO, the depth is expressed in cents.

To Control an Envelope's LFO

  • Click the LFO Status field to turn the LFO on or off.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Control an Envelope's LFO - 1

  • Click the current waveform to select from several waveform options.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Control an Envelope's LFO - 2

  • Drag in the fields to adjust other LFO parameters as described above.

Keytracking

The keytracking control adjusts how the selected parameter changes with the keyboard (hence 'keyboard tracking'). The left node represents MIDI Note 0, the right node represents MIDI Note 127. The shape and orientation of the curve in between represents the parameter variation in the whole note range.

ROLAND RAPTURE - Keytracking - 1

Keytrack envelope

To Control Keytracking

  • Drag the nodes or curve of the Keytrack envelope where it appears under the LFO waveform. You can drag the line segment into a curve, or reset the line segment by double-clicking it. You can move both nodes by pressing the up or down Arrow keys, or by pressing the Page Up or Page Down keys for larger increments.

Keytracking maps the range of your MIDI controller to changes in the current envelope. For example, if you display the Cutoff envelope, and drag the Keytrack envelope into an upward slope, playing higher notes on your controller will raise the cutoff frequency. On the Amplitude envelope, you can actually use the Keytrack envelope as a global gain—drag both nodes of the Keytrack envelope up or down to control global output volume.

Here's another example of using Keytracking: if you load a bright waveform, for instance a saw, and apply a low-pass filter on it, then set the cutoff to 800Hz , playing high notes in the keyboard will result in a lower volume than playing low notes. This happens because higher notes will result in more-filtered notes. Here's where keytracking enters in action. Two options are available:

OR

  • Adjust the CUTOFF keytracking control so the cutoff point moves together with the played note. This results in all notes having the same amount of harmonics, hence the same output level.
  • Adjust the AMPLITUDE keytracking control. This will keep higher notes dull and filtered, but will raise the volume of those notes so they will better match the volume of the unfiltered low notes.

Tip: When adjusting any envelope but Pitch, you can reset the Keytrack envelope by right-clicking the Keytrack window and selecting Keyboard Tracking reset from the context menu. When in Pitch mode, this launches the Load Tuning Definition File window. See "Microtuning and Alternative Tunings" on page 49.

The Step Generator

The Step Modulator is much like an LFO, where the 'shape' can be defined by setting arbitrary values to variable range steps for Pitch, Cutoff, Resonance, Pan and Amplitude modulation at regular time intervals.

ROLAND RAPTURE - The Step Generator - 1

To set values in a given step, hold left-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac) and drag across the Step Generator.

The Step Generator is affected by the following controls:

SyncSynchronize to Host Tempo, in Beats. When Sync is in the Off position, the Step Generator will move at the frequency defined by the previous value (Freq). When a Sync value is selected, from 1/8t to 128d, the Step Generator will follow the host tempo and position, generating one cycle each time the host moves through the specified beat value. For instance, if Sync is set to 1, the Step Generator will generate one cycle in each host beat.Menu item...Description...

MIDI Note Entry (C4 = Base)

Note: Available for Pitch Modulation only

Enter step sequence using MIDl note events starting at C4.

Default depth setting is to 2400 (two octave range), but may need to be adjusted by user. Any note lower than C4 backs up one step.

MIDI note entry mode ends by entering a note for every step in the sequence.

Here are a few additional procedures for manipulating Step Generator data:

To Reset a Step Value to Default

  • Ctrl-click and Ctrl-click-drag (Command-click on a Mac).

To Snap All Steps to the Nearest Pitch or Logical Value

Press P.

To Increase/Decrease All Step Values

  • Scroll the mouse wheel up/down over the active Step Generator.

Modulator Copy/Paste

Sometimes it is desirable to have identical settings for the EG, LFO or Keytrack in two different parameters or elements. Rapture offers the ability to Copy/Paste any EG, LFO, Keytrack, Step Generator or the whole Modulator to a new destination, or to the same destination in another element.

To Copy/Paste a Modulator Value

  1. To copy a whole Modulator, just one envelope, an LFO, a Keytrack setup, or a Step Generator, right-click (Control-click on a Mac) an envelope button and choose Copy-(name of component you want to copy) from the popup menu.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Copy/Paste a Modulator Value - 1

Right-click one of the seven envelope buttons, Ctrl-click on a Mac

  1. To paste what you just copied, right-click (Control-click on a Mac) the envelope button where you want to paste the copied data, and choose Paste-(name of component you want to paste) from the popup menu.

You can paste between instances of Rapture.

ROLAND RAPTURE - To Copy/Paste a Modulator Value - 2

Amplitude Editing

Rapture actually uses two amplitude envelopes. If you don't turn on the Amplitude EG, Rapture uses a master envelope that makes sure the amplitude reaches zero after you stop playing the current Element. If you turn on the Amplitude EG and create an amplitude envelope, that envelope controls the amplitude, unless the envelope that you created does not eventually reach zero amplitude. If your envelope does not eventually turn the sound off, the master envelope does it for you.

Tip: If you are editing the amplitude for a sample from an acoustic source, and want a more natural release, you can change the type of envelope curve Rapture uses. The default type is variable power, which is CPU-friendly, and works well when you're using heavy reverb or delay. The optional exponential type works better with exposed acoustic sounds by creating a more natural sounding release.

To change the envelope curve to exponential:

  1. Display the Amplitude curve for your sample.
  2. Highlight the ending node for the segment by holding the mouse over the node.
  3. Press the N key on your keyboard.

The envelope segment turns dark blue, meaning that it is now an exponential curve. You can press the N key again to return to the default envelope type.

The Global Page

The Global page contains effects, EQ's and a Global Step Generator that adjusts Rapture's stereo output. Settings made here affect all elements within a program.

The Global page conducts the signal through the following path:

  1. Global FX 1 (standard insert FX menu + controls, applied to all elements)
  2. Global FX 2 (standard insert FX menu + controls, applied to all elements)
  3. Global Step Generator; a Left/Right channel Step Generator output level modulator; note that this level gates even effects tails from upstream delay lines and reverbs
  4. Master EQ section (3 standard multimode band EQs)
  5. Master FX (standard insert FX menu + controls, applied to the post Global Step Generator mix)

The Global Step Generator is controlled in the same way as the Step Generator in the Modulator section, but instead provides discrete left and right channel control of Rapture's stereo mix.

Note: You can achieve identical level patterns using the Step Generator's Copy/Paste function, available via context menu.

For more details on using Step Generators, see "The Step Generator" on page 43.

For more details on effects and EQs, see "The Insert FX Section" on page 32 and "Using the EQ's" on page 32.

The Modulation Matrix

Rapture features a very clear distinction between 'sound modulations' and 'performance modulations'. The first group is represented by the Modulators, while the second is achieved thru the Modulation Matrix.

In the Modulation Matrix it is possible to 'wire' any MIDI control or message to any sound parameter in Rapture in any program. This way each program can be perfectly adapted to the control environment from a single, unified place. The Modulation Matrix features 24 rows which can

connect any of the over 130 possible sources, to over 150 destinations. All those 'connections' can have a specified depth and a smooth value, and are stored in the program file.

To deploy/collapse the Modulation Matrix window, click on the button in the top area, marked with a MIDI connector. The Modulation Matrix features the following parameters:

Parameter...Description...
SourceThe Source is the MIDI control which Rapture will use to change the parameter selected as destination. Sources can be any MIDI Control Message (CC1-CC127), Pitch Bend, Channel and Polyphonic Aftertouch, Keyboard, Keyboard Gate, Attack and Release Velocity, Unipolar and Bipolar Random and Alternate, and the X/YPad..
DestinationElement Pitch, Cutoff, Resonance, Pan, Amplitude and their LFO Depth and Speed, Envelope and Step Generator parameters, plus most EQ/FX parameters can be used as destinations.
DepthThe depth for the modulation, in parameter units.
SmoothSmooths out the response of the Destination to the Source.

See "Appendix B: Modulation Matrix" on page 57 for more information.

MIDI Learn

In addition to the Modulation Matrix, Rapture features one of the most advanced MIDI control customization systems of any virtual synthesizer. The MIDI Learn feature allows you to assign any knob or button on the screen to any MIDI controller, even assigning multiple controllers to a single parameter or vice-versa.

To invoke the MIDI Learn menu, just right-click (Control-click on a Mac) on a knob or button. To assign a MIDI controller, select MIDI Learn from the pop-up menu.

Once you select MIDI Learn, Rapture enters a "waiting" mode, expecting a MIDI controller to be received. You can send the controller by using a physical MIDI control device or by using your sequencer to send a MIDI continuous controller (CC). Multiple knobs/bu1nons can be set to "waiting" mode at once in order to assign them to the same control.

Note: When sequencers' Start/Stop Audio Streaming functions occur, they send numerous controllers. Avoid those operations while Rapture is in "waiting" mode, as it might learn unexpected controller numbers.

As soon as MIDI controller information is received, Rapture assigns it to the selected controls. The controls will display new values according to the incoming controller values.

Once a control is assigned, you can scale it (setting the minimum and maximum) and reverse the control polarity. To perform these operations, call the MIDI Learn menu again by right-clicking (Control-click on a Mac) the control. New options will appear:

Menu option...Description...
MIDI LearnAssigns additional controllers to the parameter. This option will always remain active since it is possible to assign multiple controllers to any parameter.
MIDI ForgetRemoves all MIDI controller associations from the knob/ button.
Set MinSets the minimum value this control will have when the incoming MIDI control value is zero.
Set MaxSets the minimum value this knob will have when the incoming MIDI control value is 127.
ReverseInverts the MIDI control polarity.

Any MIDI controller can be learned except CC0, CC32 (bank change), CC120 (all sounds off), CC121 (all controllers off), and CC123 (all notes off).

Aftertouch and pitch bend MIDI messages can also be assigned as standard controllers. When Pitchbend is assigned, the center will be calculated according to the Min and Max settings for selected parameter.

Note: Some MIDI controllers are hard-wired in Rapture but can still be learned. This means that if an additional param

eter is assigned to a hard-wired MIDI controller, that controller will adjust both the new parameter and the hardwired one simultaneously.

The following controllers are hard-wired:

CC7 = Volume

CC11 = Expression

CC64 = Sustain (can be enabled/disabled per-element using display control)

CC66 = Sostenuto (can be enabled/disabled per-element using display control)

CC73 = Global Amplitude Attack

CC72 = Global Amplitude Release

The Mixer

The Mixer section in Rapture is defined so the volume, pan and on/off settings for the six elements are simultaneously accessible.

There are three controls for each element in the mixer:

Control...Description...
On/OffTurns the element on or off. When an element is off, it won’t take any CPU.
PanElement stereo panoramic position.
VolumeMain element volume.

Microtuning and Alternative Tunings

Microtuning has been an interesting field of research for musicians and physicists for years. Several synthesizers have included some sort of microtuning abilities to allow performers to use alternative tunings to the standard 12-tone equal-tempered system. One of the powerful features of Rapture is that it can load native ScalaTM .sCL microtuning files.

Scala is a powerful freeware software tool for experimentation with musical tunings, such as just intonation scales, equal and historical temperaments, microtonal and macrotonal scales, and non-Western scales. It supports scale creation, editing, comparison, analysis, storage, tuning of electronic instruments, and MIDI file generation and tuning conversion. All this is integrated into a single application with a wide variety of mathematical routines and scale creation methods.

Scala is ideal for the exploration of tunings and becoming familiar with the concepts involved. In addition, a very large library of scales is freely available for Scala and can be used for analysis or music creation.

Note: For more information about Scala, visit the Scala home page at http://www.xls4all.nl/~huygensf/scALA/

Rapture allows each element in a program to use a specific microtuning definition, so multiple microtuning sets can be used in a single patch.

To load a microtuning definition for any element

  1. Select the Pitch Modulator for that element.

  2. Click on the Keytrack window.

ROLAND RAPTURE - Microtuning and Alternative Tunings - 1

A 'File...Open' dialog box will appear.

  1. Select the microtuning definition file of your choice.

The Keytrack window will display a graphical representation of the selected tuning scale. A toolbar will display the currently loaded definition file.

To reset an element to standard tuning

  1. Select the Pitch Modulator for that element
  2. Shift-click on the Keytrack window.

The tuning definition file selected is remembered and reloaded with the program.

Not limited to 12-tone scales, Rapture microtuning support allows for any number of notes, including mean-tone and quarter-tone scales. Rapture includes 200 Scala tuning definition files with the default installation. A file with over 2900 tuning definition files (.scl) can be downloaded for free from:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/doc/scales.zip

You can find a brief description of the scalar files here:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/doc/scalesdir.txt

Sinc Interpolation

When you freeze or play back a Rapture track, you have the option to use a higher-quality algorithm called sinc interpolation. This can increase the time it takes to freeze tracks, and use a little more of your computer's resources when you play back audio. If you're using distortion, you don't need this algorithm.

To Use Sinc Interpolation

  1. Open the Options dialog by clicking the Options

button

  1. Check the Use Sinc Interpolation When Freezing/ rendering checkbox.

Appendix B: Modulation Matrix

This section provides a reference for Modulation Matrix parameters. Of particular note is the nature of input sources, which include many different types of MIDI events and other functions.

Note about "mapped to": "Mapped to" values, such as "0 - 1" describe the mathematical product of the source function as it modulates the specified destination parameter.

Example:

If you map the cutoff frequency to a depth of 1000 cents, a value of 64 from a given MIDI controller will change the cents value to 500 (1000 * 0.5 = 500).

Durante años, la microafinación ha sido uninterestingmente. En 1980, el director de la Universidad de La Sapienza de México y su前身, el director del Instituto de Investigación y Físicos, Varios sintetizadores, had to be replaced by a new director. In 1982, he was appointed as the director of the Universidad de México. During his tenure, he worked in research on the problem of microafinación en el context of the modernization of Mexico. In 1983, he was awarded the Universidad de México's highest award for the work. During his tenure, he also served as the director of the Universidad de México's Department of Microafinación.
