Changing the Sound’s Pitch in Real
Time (Bender/Modulation Lever)
While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch, or
to the right to raise the pitch. This is known as Pitch Bend.
You can also apply vibrato by manipulating the lever away from you. This
is known as Modulation.
If you move the lever away from you and at the same time move it to the
right or left, you can apply both effects simultaneously.

Adjusting the Level of the Sound’s Low, Mid,
and High-Frequency Ranges (EQUALIZER)
The RD-700 is equipped with a three-band equalizer.
You can adjust the levels of the low-frequency, midrange, and high-
frequency ranges using the EQUALIZER [LOW], [MID], and [HIGH] knobs,
respectively.

1
Press EQUALIZER [ON/OFF] to make its indicator light.
The equalizer is turned on.
2
Turn the knobs to adjust the levels in each range.
Turning a knob towards the minus (-) sign cuts the level of that frequency
range; turn the knob towards the plus (+) sign to boost the level of that
range.
3
To turn the equalizer off, press EQUALIZER [ON/OFF],
extinguishing its indicator.
NOTE
The effect obtained when
you move the lever may
differ according to the tone
being used. Additionally,
the effect applied by
moving the lever is
predetermined for each
tone, and cannot be
changed.
When the Tone Wheel
screen is displayed, the
Pitch Bend Lever is set so
that tilting the lever from
left to right switches the
Rotary effect from fast to
slow. For details, refer to
“Simulating the Creation
of Organ Tones (Tone
Wheel Mode)” (p. 75).

NOTE
Sounds may become
distorted when certain
EQUALIZER settings are
used. In such instances, use
the PART LEVEL sliders or
other controls to lower Part
volumes, or in Edit mode,
adjust the Master Volume
settings in the System (p.
70) to lower the overall
volume level.
You can make more
detailed settings for the
equalizer. For details, refer
to “Changing the
Equalizer Frequency
Settings (Freq/Q)” (p. 74).
NOTE
Equalization is applied to
the overall sound output
from the OUTPUT jacks.
