Roland RD-700SX Musical Instrument User Manual

Using the RD-700SX As a Master Keyboard
Specifies whether the tone will play polyphonically (POLY) or
monophonically (MONO).
The MONO setting is effective when playing a solo instrument tone
such as sax or flute.
You can perform with each zone transposed to a different pitch.
When multiple zones are set to on
, you can create a richer sound
by setting the two Tones to different octaves. Also, if the Keyboard
Mode is set to Split and you are playing a bass Tone in the lower
Part, you can use the Transpose function to play the bass at a lower
pitch.
Set the keyboard range in which each Zone will sound.
This can be used to make notes in different areas of the keyboard
play different Tones.
Specify the lower limit (LWR) and upper limit (UPR) of the key
range being set.
You can also set this by pressing a specific key and then pressing
[ENTER].
This is effective only when [SPLIT] is on (p. 38) in the key range
settings.
“FUL” is displayed when [SPLIT] is set to OFF. In this case,
[SPLIT] is automatically switched on when the value is changed
to something other than “FUL” with [INC]/[DEC].
You cannot set the key range’s lower limit higher than the
upper limit, nor can you set the upper limit below the lower
limit.
You can use ZONE SWITCH for each individual zone to select
whether or not MIDI Note messages for that zone are to be
transmitted (p. 64).
This specifies the lower limit (LWR) and upper limit (UPR) of the
range in which the tone is played according to how strongly the keys
are played (velocity). Make this setting when you want the tone to
change depending on the key velocity.
If you set the minimum velocity to a value above the upper
limit, or set the maximum velocity to a value that is below the
lower limit, the setting for the other limit is changed to the same
value.
You can make changes in tones by adjusting the settings of the
following four elements.
ATK (Attack Time Offset):
The time it takes after the key is pressed for a sound to reach full
volume.
DCY (Decay Time Offset):
The time it is to take following the attack for the volume to decrease.
REL (Release Time Offset):
The time it takes after the key is released for a sound to become
inaudible.
COF (Cutoff Offset):
Adjusts how much the filter is opened.
RES (Resonance Offset):
This boosts the portions in the region around the cutoff frequency,
lending a particular quality to the sound. Excessively high settings
can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.

Higher values produce a
milder attack; lower values
produce a sharper attack.
DCY CC75 The time it takes for the vol-
ume to fall increases as the
value is raised; lowering the
value decreases the decay
time.
REL CC73 Higher values produce
longer decay; set lower val-
ues for a clear-cut sound.
COF CC74 Higher values brighten the
sound; lower values make
the sound seem darker.
RES CC71 Higher value makes the
special quality of the sound
stronger; lower value re-
duce these characteristics.
