Overview of the RD-700

[WRITE]

Stores the current settings to “Setup”

[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.

fig.00-G9

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

When changing settings values, you can use [DEC/NO] and
[INC/YES], or the TONE SELECT buttons (numeric keys).

[DEC/NO], [INC/YES]

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].
