[MIDI TX]

When [MIDI TX] is pressed, the button’s indicator lights up, and the RD-700 switches to the mode enabling it to control an external MIDI sound generator. The status of this button determines whether the RD-700’s buttons are used to control the Local Parts ([MIDI TX] off), or to control the MIDI TX Parts ([MIDI TX] on).

In addition, you can make detailed settings for the MIDI messages to be transmitted to the external sound generator.

[NUM LOCK]

When [NUM LOCK] is pressed, the button’s indicator lights up, enabling input of numerical values using the TONE SELECT buttons. The button indicators automatically light according to the values set.

About the CURSOR Buttons

ig.00-G7

The CURSOR buttons are used for switching screens, and for moving to an item whose setting you want to change (by moving the cursor).

Moving Between Display Pages

When arrow symbols (“” and “”) appear at the upper right of the display screen, it indicates that there are additional pages in the directions shown by the arrows.

You can switch screens with CURSOR [ ] and [ ].

Navigating Among Items To Be Set (CURSOR)

When more than one parameter is present in a screen, the name and value of the parameter to be changed is shown with a box around it. This box is referred to as the “cursor.” The cursor is moved with the CURSOR buttons.

Cursor

Overview of the RD-700

Additionally, when multiple parameters are presented horizontally in a row, as shown in the MIDI TX screen, you can get the cursor to move more rapidly by holding down the CURSOR button that points in the direction you want the cursor to move while you also press the CURSOR button that points in the opposite direction.

Changing the Settings Values

fig.00-G11	Overviewofthe
When changing settings values, you can use [DEC/NO] and	RD
[INC/YES], or the TONE SELECT buttons (numeric keys).
[DEC/NO], [INC/YES]	-700

Pressing [INC/YES] increases the value, and [DEC/NO] decreases it. Keep the button pressed for continuous adjustment. For faster value increases, keep [INC/YES] pressed down and press [DEC/NO]. For decreasing value faster, keep [DEC/NO] pressed down and press [INC/YES].

TONE SELECT Buttons (Numeric Keys)

When [NUM LOCK] is on (lit), numerical values can be input directly using the TONE SELECT buttons, which then serve as [0]–[9] numeric keys. When you enter the number, the value will blink. This indicates that the value has not yet been finalized. To finalize the value press [ENTER].

With some parameters, [NUM LOCK] may come on automatically, allowing you to input numerical values directly with the TONE SELECT buttons.

The negative (-) or positive (+) sign of numerical values are switched with [DEC/NO] or [INC/YES].
