Roland RG-7 manual Playing Back Songs

Chapter 1. Playing Back Songs

Look at What You Can Do with the RG-7!

Listen to the Internal Songs

The various internal songs programmed in the RG-7 are categorized into “Jazz” and “Classical” genres. You can play back the songs in these genres in a variety of ways, playing all the songs in sequence or randomly, or just playing songs individually.

Listen to the Included CD and Commercial Audio CDs

You can use the RG-7’s CD drive to play the included CD, CD-ROMs containing saved SMF music files, commercial audio CDs, and player piano CDs.

Listen to Songs Saved to USB Memory

Not only can you play CDs, you can also play back SMF music files saved on USB memory. In addition, you can connect USB memory and copy song data recorded with the RG-7 to the USB memory.

Store Songs in the “Favorites”

The RG-7 is set at the factory with tone demos registered in the “Favorites.” Listen to the tone demos to check out the special characteristics of each tone.

Additionally, you can save songs recorded with the RG-7 to the “Favorites” and you can copy songs stored in USB memory to the “Favorites” as well. Songs held in the “Favorites” are not lost when the power is turned off, making this a convenient place to store those songs you listen to often.

Easy-to-Use Remote Control Included

You can use the included remote control to start and stop the current performance and switch songs. You can also use the remote control to select what is to be displayed on an external screen or television set connected to the RG-7 and assign other functions to the remote control’s buttons to make operating the RG-7 even simpler.

Connect a Microphone for Karaoke Performances

Connect a microphone to the RG-7, and you are ready to enjoy karaoke. You can change the key of the song to match the singer’s voice and adjust the amount of echo applied to the microphone input. In addition, the RG-7 includes functions for adding harmonies and effects (Transformer) to vocals.

Show Your Favorite Images on a Connected Display or Television

You can connect an external display or television set to the RG-7 and display the Song Select screen, lyrics and notations, and even slide shows of your favorite images. You can also use the remote control to switch the images appearing in the connected external display or television.

The “Moving Key” Feature

You can have the RG-7’s keyboard play automatically along with the internal songs, songs recorded with the RG-7, songs on CDs, and songs stored in USB memory. You can switch this feature on and off with the [Moving Key] button on the front panel or with the buttons on the remote control.
