About the Workshop Booklets
About Patches
Roland’s VG-99 V-Guitar System is, simply put, the most powerful guitar
processor ever made. It’s the third and latest generation V-Guitar system
from Roland, and it offers an astounding set of creative sound-making tools
for the guitarist. Featuring dual COSM guitar and amp modeling paths, two
independent multi-effects processors, massive realtime control options,
pitch-to-MIDI conversion, and USB, the VG-99 is a guitarist’s dream machine,
capable of producing sounds that are limited only by your imagination.
A VG-99 patch contains all the settings that make up a sound. These include
parameters related to the following:
COSM instrument modeling (including alternate tunings and pitch
shifting)
Poly FX
All effects processing in the FX section
Each VG-99 Workshop booklet focuses on one VG-99 topic, and is intended
as a companion to the VG-99 Owner’s Manual .
The effects chain
COSM amps and speakers
About This Booklet
All MIXER settings
The patch’s overall level
In the VG-99, a patch is a collection of settings that make up a sound that you
play with your guitar. There are 200 patches that contain preset sounds, as
well as 200 user patches where you can store your own sounds. This booklet
discusses working with them.
Additionally, a patch contains many settings related to controlling the
sound:
Various control assignments (CONTROL ASSIGN, D BEAM, and RIBBON
Understanding the Symbols in This Booklet
CONTROLLER, F Knobs and buttons, etc.)
The GK Setting selection
Throughout this booklet, you’ll come across information that deserves
special attention—that’s the reason it’s labeled with one of the following
symbols.
All settings in the NAME/KEY/BPM section
Patch-related GUITAR TO MIDI settings
A note is something that adds information about the topic at hand.
Many of the sound control settings can be optionally set on a system-
wide basis to override the settings stored in each individual patch.
This is useful when you want to share a particular setting—such as a
footswitch control assignment—with all patches. For more information,
see the VG-99 Owner’s Manual .
A tip offers suggestions for using the feature being discussed.
Warnings contain important information that can help you avoid
possible damage to your equipment, your data, or yourself.
The VG-99 has a 400 patches total, 200 preset and 200 user. The currently
selected patch’s name and number are shown in the VG-99’s Play screen.
The Play screen is the VG-99’s “home” screen. It’s the screen that’s
displayed after the VG-99 finishes its power-up sequence. You’ll
usually want to return to the Play screen when you’re done editing
any VG-99 functions.

Preset Patches
The 200 preset patches contain settings made at the factory that demonstrate
many of the fantastic things that the VG-99 can do. Preset patches can’t be
overwritten, but the settings can be altered and then stored in a user patch.
This allows you to use preset patches as starting points to create your own
sounds.
This variation shows the effects chain used in the patch.
The preset patches are in patch locations 201-400. To identify them, they
have the label PRESET next to the patch number.
User Patches
This variation displays the current input and output signal levels.
Just like the preset patches, the 200 user patches contain factory settings
that demonstrate things that the VG-99 can do. However, unlike the
preset patches, user patches can be overwritten to store your own custom
settings.
While the Play screen is displayed, use the PAGE buttons
to select the desired variation. Choose whichever screen
works best for you.
The user patches are in patch locations 001-200. They have the label USER
next to the patch number.
The currently selected Play screen variation is remembered when you
power off the VG-99.
Changing the Way Patches are Displayed in the Play
Screen
Patch Selection
There are four different Play screen variations. In addition to the patch name
and number, each provides unique information about what’s currently
happening inside the VG-99.
There are many different ways to select VG-99 patches, both from the front
panel and remotely via external switches.
Patch selections can only be made when the Play screen is displayed.
Selecting Patches from the Front Panel
This Play screen variation shows icons that represent the COSM instruments
and amps that are used in the patch.
Using the PATCH/VALUE Dial
The primary way to select patches from the VG-99’s
front panel is to scroll through them sequentially with
the PATCH/VALUE dial. Simply turn the dial to select the
desired patch.
This screen shows the tempo, patch level, GK Setting, and COSM instruments.
