Performing with an external MIDI device

2.

Use PAGE/CURSOR [

]/[

] to select “Local Control.”

fig.r10-22_40

By holding down [SHIFT] and using PAGE/CURSOR [

]/

[

] you can quickly select the “SYSTEM|GENERAL” group

(p. 127).

3.

Use VALUE [-]/[+] to set the parameter to “OFF.”

4.

Press [WRITE] to save the settings.

For further information, refer to

“How to make the system

function settings”

(p. 124).

Press [EXIT] to cancel the operation and return to the previous page.

* Regardless of the Local Control setting, music data from an external

MIDI device is always received and will play the internal sound
generator.

Turning on the external sequencer’s
thru function

Turn the sequencer’s Thru function ON. The sequencer takes the
performance data received at the MIDI IN connector and outputs the
data unchanged from the MIDI OUT connector (refer to the previous
section).

To determine whether or not your sequencer features a MIDI Thru
function and for instructions on making the Thru function setting,
refer to the owner’s manual for your sequencer.

* If your sequencer does not have a Thru function, set the RS-70’s Local

Control to ON.

Setting the pattern

Before beginning to record, first make the Pattern settings (select the
Patches and Key mode, make any multi-effects, chorus, and reverb
settings, set the knobs, and so on).

Also set the Receive Channel and Receive Switch for each part
(p. 80)

Recording

Recording the pattern’s settings at the
beginning of the song

First, record the Pattern settings at the beginning of the song. If this
is done, playing back the song from the beginning will automatically
set the RS-70 to the Pattern settings that were used during recording
(regardless of the Pattern that was selected when playback began),
ensuring that playback will use the correct sounds and settings.

* Record the song at the tempo at which it is to be played back. If the

tempo used for playback of a song is changed from the tempo selected at
the time of recording, the RS-70 may not be able to correctly receive the
settings for the recorded Pattern, which may prevent proper playback of
the performance data.

1.

In Patch mode or Pattern mode, press [UTILITY] so it is lit.

2.

Use PAGE/CURSOR [

]/[

] to select “XFER to MIDI.”

3.

Press [ENTER].

Make “XFER to MIDI” settings as described in

“Transmitting

pattern settings from the MIDI OUT connector (XFER to

MIDI)”

(p. 90).

Select “CUR PERFORM” for “What.”

4.

Put your external sequencer in recording mode before you

execute “XFER to MIDI.”

5.

Press [ENTER] to transmit the settings.

Do not press any key on the keyboard while the transmission is
in progress. Pressing a key sends Note messages from the MIDI
OUT connector.

To cancel the transmission, press [EXIT].

6.

After the transmission is finished, the display will indicate

“COMPLETED.”

7.

Stop the external sequencer.

Recording each part separately

Next, we will record the music data for each Part onto separate
tracks. We will start recording the song from the measure following
the one in which the Pattern settings were recorded.

We will record tracks in the order of drums

bass

accompaniment

melody, while listening to the tracks that were

recorded on previous passes.

For example, assign Tones to each Part as shown below.

Drums:

Part 10

Bass:

Part 9

Accompaniment:

Part 6

Melody:

Part 3

* Tone changes, and the actions of the Pitch Bend lever, Modulation

lever, knobs, and other controls are also recorded.

* It is not necessary to record the song at the tempo at which it is to be

played back. You may record at a tempo that is comfortable for you.

Listening to the recorded

performance

When you finish recording all Parts, play it back and listen to the
result. Note the following when playing back a song.

* If you modify the settings of each Part (volume, panning, etc.), you will

need to re-record the modified pattern settings at the beginning of the
song (p. 76).

Set the “Rx Sys Exc” (System Exclusive
Receive Switch) to ON (p. 127)

When set to OFF, the pattern settings recorded at the beginning of
the song cannot be received. With the factory settings, this will be
“ON.”
