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.

Parameter	Value
	1–16
<Part>	Parts assigned to the Local parts are
	indicated by a marker (UPPER1) ap-
	pearing after the part name.
	When the <Part> to be set is select-
	ed, the name of the assigned tone ap-
Tone	pears.
	You can select tone using the TONE
	SELECT buttons.

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.

Parameter	Value
Receive Channel	1–16

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.

Parameter	Value
Volume	0–127
Pan	L63–0–63R

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.”

Parameter Value

ON

MFX Switch

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.

Parameter	Value
	0–64
	* The figure in parentheses before the
	settings value shows the remaining
Voice Reserve	number of voices that can be set. It is
	not possible for the settings of all
	Parts to total an amount greater than
	64.
