IMPORTANT NOTES
•The appropriate power supply for this
unit is shown on its name plate. Please
make sure that the line voltage in your
country meets the requirement.
•Please do not use the same socket used
for any noise generating device (such
as amotor, or variable lighting system).
•The VP-70 features amemory back-up
system that retains the data even when
switched off. The battery that supports
the back —up circuit should be replaced
every five years. Call Roland for battery
replacement. (The first replacement may
be required before five years, depending
on how much time had passed before
you purchased the unit.)
•This unit might not work properly if
turned on immediately after being turned
off. If this happens, simply turn it off
and turn it on again afew seconds
later.
•Before setting up this unit with other
devices, turn this unit and all the other
units off.
•It is normal for this unit to get hot
while being operated.
•When disconnecting the power cord from
awall socket, please do not pull the-
cord but hold the plug. When this unit
is not to be used for along period of
time, be sure to disconnect the power
cord from the socket.
•Use asoft cloth and clean only with
amild detergent.
•Do not use solvents such as paint thinner.
•Avoid using this unit in excessive heat
or humidity or where it may be affected
by direct sunlight or dust.
^Operating this unit near aneon, fluoresent
lamp, TV or CRT Display may cause
noise interference. If so, change the angle
or the position of the unit.

The Roland VP-70 Voice Processor is a
device that features four built —in pitch
shifting units, each of which can change
the pitch of an audio signal.
Please read this owner's manual carefully.
FEATURES CONTENTS
•The four built-in pitch shifting units
can create chorus effects, similar to singing
in unison, by digitally processing the
sound. Also, it can be used like avocoder
by connecting aMIDI keyboard.
•These four pitch shifting units can be
turned on simultaneously, therefore, five
sounds, including the direct sound, can
appear at the same time.
•The VP-70 also features afunction that
converts audio signals to MIDI, and this
function can be used with the pitch shifting
function at the same time.
•The VP-70 has MIDI Mono mode that
assigns adifferent MIDI channel to each
of the four pitch shifting units and therefore
allows each pitch shifting unit to receive
different MIDI messages separately.
•The VP —70's memory capacity can retain
up to 128 different effects.

OUTLINE OF THE VP-70
Tl OUTLINE OF THE VP-70
1. PITCH SHIFTING FUNCTION (VOICE EXPANSION)
The VP-70 has four built-in pitch shifting units; each of them can
shift the pitch of the input sounds up to one octave up or down in
semi —tone steps, or more finely using [DETUNE]. The amount of
pitch shift can be assigned from the VP— 70, or even with real time
MIDI NOTE messages sent from an external MIDI device. This fact
makes it possible for you to change the amount of pitch shift by
using aMIDI keyboard or sequencer.
There are two methods for setting the amount of pitch shifting :
•HARMONIZE
This determines how many semi —tones of shift from the pitch of
the input sound. The DETUNE function allows you to adjust the
pitch even more finely.
•PITCH FOLLOW
Playing akey on the connected keyboard will reproduce the audio
input signals on that note. That is, the VP-70 and the keyboard
work like avocoder.

OUTLINE OF THE VP-70
2. VOICE -* MIDI FUNCTION
The VP-70 can convert the pitch and the volume of the input sound
(single note) to MIDI Note, Volume, Bender and Aftertouch messages.
This function makes it possible to control an external MIDI sound
module by the sounds fed into the VP-70.
The VOICE -'"MIDI function can be used with the pitch shifting
function at the same time.

PERFORMANCE CONTROLS
•MIDI Connectors
MIDI IN :To control the amount of pitch shifting by MIDI
messages, connect the MIDI OUT of an external MIDI
device to this connector using aMIDI cable.
MIDI THRU :Through this connector an exact copy of the MIDI
messages fed into the MIDI IN will be sent out. Use
this to drive the VP-70 by MIDI messages and
control other MIDI devices at the same time.
MIDI OUT :Through this connector, MIDI messages converted
from the audio input signal will be sent out.
•MIDI IN/RRC IN Selector Switch
When using the FC— 100 foot controller, set this switch to the "RRC
IN" position, and when using aMIDI device (connected to the MIDI
IN), set this to the "MIDI IN" position.
•RRC IN Connector
Connect the FC— 100 optional foot controller to this connector.
•Please do not connect adevice other than the FC —100 to this
connector.
•Patch Shift Jack (Patch Shift)
Use this jack to call patches sequentially with apedal switch such
as the DP— 2. When UP is used, pressing the pedal advances the
patch numbers, and when DOWN is used, the opposite effect is
obtained.
•Output Jacks
These jacks are provided to connect to amplifiers. Using only one
jack, Aand Bwill be mixed and sent out. When both jacks arc
used, the sounds sent out through these jacks vary depending on
the Output mode selected in each patch.

[How to Initialize]
128 different patches arc preprogrammed in the VP—70 from the
manufacturer. These patches can be restored (initialized) even after
you have edited them. When you use the VP-70 for the first time,
take the following initialization procedure to •call the preprogrammed
patches.
*Initialization automatically erases any data programmed in the VP —70,
and replaces it with the preprogrammed patches.

Using the Value Switch
Using The Number Buttons
Pushing the upper side of the Value Switch advances anumber, and
the lower side backs up anumber. Holding down cither side of the
switch will change the numbers continuously, up to the highest or the
lowest number.
Press the relevant Number Buttons to assign the bank and number
of a patch, then push the Enter Button. (If you push the wrong
Number Button, assigning apatch number that does not exist, such
as 0-1 or 9—9, it will be ignored,) Each time the "—"Button is
pressed, patch group Aand Barc alternately selected.
b. Patch Selection with Pedal Switches or Foot Controller
Using Pedal Switches
Connect pedal switches (e.g. DP- 2) to the Patch Shift Jacks on the
rear panel.
Pushing the pedal connected to the UP Jack advances anumber, and
the pedal connected to the DOWN Jack backs up anumber.

5. ADJUSTING THE INPUT LEVEL
PROCEDURE
To make the best use of the VP-70, you should accurately set the
level of the sound fed into the VP-70 (through the Input Jack or the
Input Connector.
Step 1Connect amicrophone or musical instrument to the Input Jack or the
Input Connector on the rear panel, and feed an audio signal of
average volume.
The Level Indicator will light up.
*When using amicrophone, bring your mouth close to the microphone, and
speak clearly.
Step 2Rotate the Attenuator Knob and Input Level Knob until the red Level
Indicator flashes occasionally.

PATCH PLAYING AND EDITING
31 PATCH PLAYING AND EDITING
The VP—70 can achieve various functions as follows :
1. Add chorus effects to the input signal (see page 18).
By slightly shifting the pitch (=Dctune) of the sound by using the
four pitch shifting units, rich chorus effects can be obtained.
2. Harmonize the input signal (see page 22).
By changing the pitch of the pitch shifters in semi —tone steps the
input sounds can be harmonized, creating an effect choral singing.
3. Using the VP —70 as a Vocoder (see page 35).
Avoice fed into the VP— 70 can be heard in the pitch of anote
played on the connected Keyboard.
4. Send only direct sounds (see page 42).
5. Control aMIDI sound module by the sound fed into the VP-70
(see page 44).
