Overview of the RD-700NX
Main Screens
The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict what
should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that your
unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g.,
includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display may
not always match what appears in the manual.
ONE TOUCH Screen
When the ONE TOUCH PIANO button or ONE TOUCH E. PIANO button
is pressed, setting the RD-700NX to the optimal status for Piano or E.
Piano performances, this screen is displayed (p. 26).
Live Set Screen
The currently selected Live Set is displayed (p. 27).
You can edit this Live Set.
Tone Wheel Screen
In the Live Set screen, when any ORGAN Tone “Tone Wheel 1–10” is
selected for any of the Layer, this screen is displayed when the Cursor
[ ] button is pressed.
The mode when this screen is displayed is called “Tone Wheel mode,”
and while in this mode you can simulate the creation of sounds using
an organ’s harmonic bars (p. 42).
Pressing the Cursor [EXIT/SHIFT] button when this screen is displayed
returns you to the Live Set screen.
Song/Rhythm Screen
When the SONG/RHYTHM [SELECT] button is pressed, this screen is
displayed.
You can change Rhythm patterns, Songs, and the tempo (p. 37, p. 38).
You can also connect USB memory (sold separately) to the USB
MEMORY connector and play SMF music  les or audio  les that you’ve
saved in the USB memory.
If SMF music  le is selected, the measure number is shown in the
upper right of the screen. If an audio  le is selected, the playing time is
shown in the upper right of the screen.
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the Live Set screen.
MIDI Screen
When the [MIDI] button is pressed, and the RD-700NX switches to the
mode enabling it to control an external MIDI sound generator.
The status of this button determines whether the RD-700NX’s buttons
are used to control the INTERNAL Layer, or to control the EXTERNAL
Layer.
In addition, you can make detailed settings for the MIDI messages to
be transmitted to the external sound generator (p. 60).
