What is MDP (Multi-Dimensional Processing)?
MDP is a technology for analyzing an input signal from many different angles and instantly breaking it down into its respective
components. This unique Roland technology makes it possible to realize an unprecedented level of expressiveness, by applying
multi-dimensional effect processing to each of these audio components simultaneously and then actively altering them according
to the input signal.

“MASTER BPM” specified for each memory. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound
RATE settings that match the tempo of the song.

* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
DEPTH 0–100 Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect. To use this as a doubling effect, set this to “0”.

EFFECTS

NOISE SUPPRESSOR

Chain Palette

This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by guitar pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the
envelope of the guitar sound (the way in which the guitar sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the guitar sound, and
does not harm the natural character of the sound.

Parameter Value Explanation


OFF, Turns this effect on/off.
ON/OFF
ON
0–100 Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting
is appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is appropriate.
THRESHOLD

your guitar volume turned down.
RELEASE 0–100 Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until the noise level reaches “0”.

EFFECTS

DIVIDER/MIXER

Chain (DIVIDER) Chain (MIXER) Palette

Within the effect chain, the point where the signal is split into channels “A” and “B” is called the “divider” and the point where the
two signals are recombined is called the “mixer”.
DIVIDER: You can use the divider to switch between channels “A” and “B”, to assign strongly picked notes and softly picked notes
to different channels, or to assign different frequency bands of your guitar sound to different channels.
MIXER: Lets you adjust the volume balance of channels “A” and “B”, place them in the stereo field, or slightly delay the sound of
channel “B” to produce a spacious sound.

* When you drag the icon from the palette to the effect chain, the divider and mixer are automatically added to the chain.

* The divider and mixer both share a single place in the chain.

DIVIDER

EFFECTS

BASS HARMONIST

Chain Palette

A Harmonist effect for bass guitar.


Harmonist is an effect where the amount of shifting is adjusted according to an analysis of the bass input, allowing you to create
harmony based on diatonic scales.

* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played. Be sure to
mute all the other strings and play only one note at a time.

* When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is still playing, mute the previous sound and then play the next
one with a clear attack. If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound correctly.

* The sensitivity may vary according to the bass’s TONE knob and pickup type.

Parameter Value Explanation

(Channel switching jack) 100’s AMP CONTROL jack, you can then use Amp Control to switch
the amp channel. This combining of the GX-100 and the amp
channels allows you to get an even wider variety of distortion
sounds.
Since the Amp Control setting is saved as one of the effects
parameters to each individual memory, switching between
memories lets you switch between guitar amp channels.

About the Range of a Target’s Change

The value of the parameter selected as the target changes within the range defined by “Min” and “Max,” as set on the GX-100.
When using an external footswitch, or other controller that acts as an on/off switch, “Min” is selected with Off (CLOSED), and “Max”
is selected with On (OPEN).
When using an external expression pedal or other controller that generates a consecutive change in the value, the value of the
setting changes accordingly, within the range set by the minimum and maximum values. Also, when the target is of an on/off
type, the median value of the received data is used as the dividing line in determining whether to switch it on or off.

110
CTL/EXP

When using the footswitch:

When using the expression pedal:

111
CTL/EXP

When controlling the On/Off target with the expression pedal:

* The range that can be selected changes according to the target setting.

* When the “minimum” is set to a higher value than the “maximum,” the change in the parameter is reversed.

* The values of settings can change if the target is changed after the “minimum” and “maximum” settings have been made. If
you’ve changed the target, be sure to recheck the “minimum” and “maximum” settings.

About the Range of a Controller’s Change

This sets the operational range within which the value of the setting changes when an expression pedal or other controller that
changes the value consecutively is used as the source. If the controller is moved outside the operational range, the value does not
change, it stops at “minimum” or “maximum”.

112
CTL/EXP

(Example) With ACT LOW: 40, ACT HIGH: 80

* When using a footswitch or other on/off switching controller as the source, leave these at “ACT LOW: 0” and “ACT HIGH: 127”.
With certain settings, the value may not change.

Virtual Expression Pedal System (Internal Pedal / Wave Pedal)

By assigning a desired parameter to the virtual expression pedal, you can produce an effect as though you were operating a
physical expression pedal to change the volume or tone quality in real time.
The virtual expression pedal system provides the following two types of functions, and you can use the SOURCE setting for ASSIGN
1–20 to choose the desired type.

113
CTL/EXP

Internal pedal
If SOURCE is set to “INT PEDAL,” the virtual expression pedal will begin operating when started by the specified trigger (TRIGGER),
modifying the parameter specified by “TARGET”.

Wave pedal
If SOURCE is set to “WAVE PDL,” the virtual expression pedal will cyclically modify the parameter specified by TARGET in a fixed
wave form.

after the change), the volume corresponding to the position (angle) the pedal is in at the time of the
memory change will be maintained after the memory change. On the other hand, if the memory being
changed to is set to WAH, the volume is in accordance with the value set within the memory, and you’ll
obtain a wah effect that is in accordance with a value that reflects the current position (angle) of the pedal.
