Detailed Settings for Each Function ([EDIT])
Edit Mode
Selecting the Part to Be Set
(<Part>, Tone)
Choose the Part for which you want to make settings.
Setting the Receive Channel
(Receive Channel)
When using MIDI messages from an external MIDI device to
play the RD-700, set the Receive channels for each of the RD-
700’s parts so they’re matched up with the channels that’ll be
used for transmission by the external MIDI device.
Setting the Volume and Pan
(Volume/Pan)
Sets the panning (localizes sound image) for each of the
Tones.
The Volume setting is mainly used in the Split and Layer key
modes to obtain the desired balance in volume between each
part.
The Pan setting localizes the sound image of each part when
the output is in stereo. With an increase in the value for L,
more of the sound will be heard as coming from the left side.
Similarly, more of the sound will originate at the right if the
value of R is increased. When set to 0, the sound is heard as
coming from the center.
Making the Effect ON/OFF
Settings (MFX Switch)
This setting determines whether the multi-effects are applied
(ON), or not (OFF).
For example, with the MFX Dest setting (p. 77) set to “ALL”
(multi-effects are applied to all parts), multi-effects are not
applied to the parts for which this is set to “OFF.”
Setting the Required Polyphony
(Voice Reserve)
The RD-700 has a maximum polyphony (the number of
sounds, or “voices” that can be produced simultaneously by
the sound generator) of 128 voices.
This setting specifies the number of voices that will be
reserved for each Part when more than 128 voices are played
simultaneously. For example if Voice Reserve is set to 6 for
Part 1, Part 1 will always have 6 notes of sound-producing
capacity available to it even if a total of more than 128 notes
(total for all Parts) are being requested.
You can make separate Voice Reserve settings for each
individual Part.
