B Features of the CM-32L
The following describes the features of the CM-32L.
G Sound Module that is ideal for computer music
The CM-32L features a multi timbral sound module that consists of 9 different Part (including one
Rhythm Part) and therefore can be used as 8 individual synthesizers plus a rhythm sound module.
The compact and simply designed body may be effectively used for computer music.
The CM-32L's sound module is almost the same as the Multi Timbral Sound Module MT-32 and
therefore can use the application software of the MT-32.
G9 The CM-32L adopts LA sound system that results in high quality sounds
LA synthesis involves a great many technological advances resulting not only in a superior sound
quality but also an improved ease of programming which have been proved in the D-50 or D-20.
G9 The CM-32L can produce a maximum of 32 voices using 32 Partials
Because the CM-32L can produce as many as 32 voices at the same time, you can enjoy high level
ensemble performance.

'The Rhythm Part features various drum and percussive voices, allowing you to enjoy wide varieties
of rhythm performances. It also includes SE's (sound effects) such as a laughing voice or explosion
for you to create unique performance.
©The CM-32L features a great many sounds
The CM-32L stores 128 different instrument sounds, 30 rhythm sounds and 33 SE's (sound effects).
Q The built-in Digital Reverb that create realistic reverb effect
The CM-32L's digital reverb adds spaciousness and richness to the sound.

Ш Important Notes
«Concerning the power supply»
Ф When employing an AC adaptor, make certain you use only one that has been supplied by the
manufacturer. Use of any other power adaptor could result in malfunction or damage.
Ф When you make any connections with other devices, always turn off the power to all equipment first.
This will help in preventing malfunction, and damage to speakers.
Q Do not force the unit to share the same power outlet as one used for distortion producing devices
(such as motors, variable lighting devices). Be sure to use a separate power outlet.
© Before using the AC adaptor, always make certain the voltage of the available power supply
conforms to its rating.
Q Do not place heavy objects onto, step on, or otherwise risk causing damage to the power cord.
Q Whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet, always grasp it by plug, to prevent internal
damage to the cord and hazard of possible short circuits.
ФІ: the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, unplug the cord from the socket.
«Concerning placement»
Ф Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places, as damage could result.
OPlaces subject to extremes in temperature. (Such as under direct sunlight, near heating units,
above equipment generating heat, etc.)
OPlaces near water and moisture. (Baths, washrooms, wet floors, etc.) Places otherwise subject to
high humidity.
©Dusty environments.
OPlaces where high levels of vibration are produced.
Ф Placing the unit near power amplifiers or other equipment containing large transformers may
induce hum.
Q Should the unit be operated nearby television or radio receivers, TV pictures may show signs of
interference, and static might be heard on radios. In such cases, move the unit out of proximity with
such devices.

«Maintenance»
Q For everyday cleaning, wipe the unit with a soft dry cloth, or one that is dampened slightly. To
remove dirt that is more stubborn, wipe using a mild, neutral detergent. Afterwards, make sure to
wipe thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Ф Never apply benzene, thinners, alcohol or any like agents, to avoid the risk of discoloration and
deformation.
(Other Precautions>
Q Protect the unit from strong impact.
Ф Avoid getting any foreign objects (coins, wire, etc.), or liquids (water,drinks, etc.) into the unit.
ФА certain small amount of heat will be radiated from the unit, and thus should not be considered
abnormal.
@ Before using the unit in a foreign country, check first with your local Roland Service Station.
Фл: any time that you notice a malfunction, or otherwise suspect there is damage, immediately refrain
from using the unit. Then contact the store where bought, or the nearest Roland Service Station.
G Since the unit is equipped with a circuit, protection device, it requires a brief interval after power is
turned on before it can be operated.

3. Structure of the CM-32L
The following briefly explains the structure of the CM-32L.
(1)LA Sound Synthesis
LA stands for Linear Arithmetic synthesis which is the heart of the new technology. LA synthesis
involves a great many technological advances resulting not only in a superior sound quality but also
an improved ease of programming. The LA system uses Partials to create wide varieties of sounds.
А Partial may be called the smallest element of a sound. For instance, a sound may be made from
three elements (Partials) : attack, decay and release.
Attack Portion
a Aa aa en NG pet a — - 2
Decay Portion Complete Form
of the Sound
Release Portion
Partial Tone

(2)Structure of the Sound Module
The CM-32L is a multi timbral sound module that consists of 9 different Parts
adopting the ГА synthesis. These Parts work like 8 different synthesizers and a
rhythm machine.
Each Part is controlled by information received on an individual MIDI channel.
So, you must set the receive channel of each Part to the same number as the
transmit channel of the external MIDI device. Using a computer or MIDI sequen-
cer that can send more than one MIDI channel messages, you can enjoy ensemble
performance with different Parts.
128 Sounds
MIDI IN
Rhythm Part
Rhythm Sound :30
Sound Effects :33
Фран
The CM-32L stores 128 different sounds, and any of these sounds can be assigned to each of 1-8
Parts. Sounds in a Part can be changed by MIDI Program Change messages.
In the Rhythm Part, 63 different drum and SE (sound effects) are assigned to the note numbers.
G Partial
The CM-32L can produce a maximum of 32 voices at the same time using 32 Partials. A Tone
consists of one to four Partials, and the maximum number of voices that can be played at the same
time will vary depending on the number of Partials used in the Tone. For details, see page 18
"7. Maximum Voices".

G Control Change Messages
These are for controlling various parameters and functions. Each Control number has its own
function. The CM-32L can receive the following Control Change messages:
Modulation (Control Number : 1,/01H)
This controls the depth of vibrato effect.
Data Entry (Control Number : 6//06H)
This is used for setting the RPN.
Volume (Control Number : 7//07H)
This controls the volume of each part, adjusting the volume balance between Parts. The actual
volume is determined by the value of the expression (Control Number 11), volume (Control Number 7)
and Master Volume (Exclusive messages) and the position of the Volume control knob.
Pan (Control Number : 10/0АН)
This sets the sound positioning of stereo output. (This information is ignored in the Rhythm Part.)
15 levels are normally valid for the pan value of the CM-32L, but only 8 levels are valid when you use
a certain sound.

Expression (Control Number : 11/0BH)
This controls the volume of each part. The actual volume is determined by the value of the expression
(Control Number 11), volume (Control Number 7) and Master Volume (Exclusive messages) and the
position of the Volume Control knob.
Hold 1 (Control Number : 647 40H)
This sustains the sound currently played, just like a damper pedal of a piano.
КРМ (Control Number : 100 & 101/64H& 65H)
RPN stands for Registered Parameter Number. In the CM-32L, the bender range of each Part can be
controlled with the RPN number 0, Pitch Bend Sensitivity.
Reset All Controllers (Control Number : 1217911)
This returns the Modulation, Expression, Hold 1 and Pitch Bender parameters to the default settings.

(3)Advanced Control via MIDI
G Using another MIDI sound module
If you wish to extend the number of sounds using another MIDI sound module, make connections as
follows. Set the MIDI receive channel of the connected sound module to a number other than the
MIDI receive channel used for the CM-32L (channels 1, 11 - 16).

Computer, н
MIDI Sequencer,
etc.

G Bender Range Control with RPN
The CM-32L allows you to control the bender range of each Part using the RPN (Registered
Parameter Number).
То do that, send Control Change messages from an external MIDI device in the sequence shown
below :
(p RPN MSB (Control Number : 100/64H) 0/00Н
@ RPN LSB (Control Number : 101,/65H) 0700Н
(3 Data Entry(Control Number: 6/06H) vv
жуу is the value of the bender range to be set. It can be set in semi-tone steps within 2 octaves (0 - 24,” 00H -
18H).
< Example» To set the bender range of Part 4 (MIDI channel 5) to 12 (1 octave):
Control

DRPN MSB f 100/64H 0/00H
RPN LSB : 101/65H 0/00H

MIDI ch Data MIDI Message
ВАН, 64H, 00H
B4H, 65H, 00H
B4H, 06H, 0CH
ж Some types of MIDI sequencer transmits Control Change numbers of the same step (timing) in the sequence of
smaller number to larger number. If you use this type of sequencer, be sure to set it so that the Control Change
will be sent in the sequence of RPN MSB - RPN LSB - Data Entry by sifting the position of the RPN forward, etc.
G Control using the Exclusive Messages
Exclusive messages are messages exclusive to a particular manufacturer, such as sound data and
setup data. Various parameters can be controlled using the Exclusive messages.
For details, see the MIDI Implementation at the back of this owner's manual.

7. Maximum Voices
As
previously
explained
in
"3.
Structure
of
the
CM-32L”,
a
sound
is
made
of
some
Partials.
Because
the
CM-32L
produces
sounds
using
Partials,
the
maximum
voices
that
it
can
produce
simultaneously
will
vary
depending
on
the
number
of
Partials
used
for
the
sound.
The
following
explains
the
relation
between the Partial and the maximum voices of the CM-32L.
(1)Partials and the maximum voices
The CM-32L can play any sound in any Part within 32 voices (Partials).
For
example,
if
you
play
three
sounds
which
are
made
of
two
Partials,
six
Partials
will
be
used
altogether(2
Partials
X
3).
In
other
words,
when
the CM-32L is
used
as
a
multi
timbral sound
module,
it
uses
(the
number
of
Partials
assigned
to
Part
1)
х
(the
number
of
voices
currently
playing
in
Part
1),
that
is,
the
total
number
of
Partials
used
in
each
Part.
In
the
Rhythm
Part,
the
number
of
Partial
used
in
each
rhythm
sound
is
different,
thercfore,
count
the
total
number
of
Partials
used
for
the
rhythm
sound currentry playing.
(2)Partial Reserve
The CM-32L can play any sound in any Part within 32 voices (Partials).
However,
when
vou
try
to
use
more
than
32
Partials,
the
Partial
Reserve
function
sets
the
number
of
зага! which can be used for a certain Part prior to the other Parts. In other words, even when more
key messages than reserved are sent, they will be put to work in the principal Part without being cut.
The Partial Reserve of the CM-32L is preprogrammed as shown below. The number of the Partials
of each Part represents the number of Partials which can be reserved on top of the usual 52 Partials.
You may consider the Partial Reserve then determine what phrases should be played in what Part.
