Troubleshooting

Appendix

Effects not being applied correctly

Are the master effects switches set to OFF? (p.
91)

Are the Chorus settings correct?

Check the Chorus Level (p. 112), Chorus Depth (p. 113), and
Chorus Send Level (p. 57, p. 82) settings.

Are the Reverb settings correct?

Check the Reverb Level (p. 113) and Reverb Send Level (p. 57, p.
82) settings.

Are the Chorus or Reverb settings for the
rhythm set correct?

Check the Chorus Send Level (p. 64) and Reverb Send Level (p.
64) settings for each note of the rhythm set.

Is any Multi-Effects switch set to “BYPASS?”

Set the Multi-Effects switch for the part being used to ON (p. 57,
p. 82).

Are the Multi-Effects Source setting correct? (p.
79)

Is the Clock Source set to “MIDI?”

If you set the clock source (p. 125) to “MIDI,” some of the effects
that are synchronized with the quick sequencer or the tempo will
not work. Set the clock source to “INT” except when you want to
synchronize the RS-70 with an external MIDI device.

Is the Tone Delay time value set to the note?

There is a maximum permissible value for the Delay Time
parameter for such as 17: St DELAY. So, if the time setting is
specified in terms of a note value, and the tempo is slowed
down, this maximum permissible value will be reached, and it
cannot be increased further.

The upper time limit for each is the maximum value that can be
set other than the numerical value for the beat.

Effect control does not work

If you are using the [C1]/[C2]/[C3] knobs in Pattern mode to
control MFX PARAMETER settings, the

“MFX Source”

(p. 79)

setting will determine the part whose effect will be controlled.

If MFX Source is set to “Part1–16,” the effect of that part will be
controlled.

If MFX Source is set to “PTN/PERF,” the System

“Ptn/Perf Ctrl

Ch (Pattern Control Channel)”

(p. 127) setting will determine

the part whose effect will be controlled. If this setting is “OFF,”
no effect will be controlled.

You hear noise when patterns

are switched

If patterns are switched while the sequencer is playing, switching
noise may be heard if the pattern uses a different MFX type.

If this noise is a problem, you can turn on “MFX Remain” (p. 125) so
that they use the same MFX type for the entire song.

Notes are delayed or unsteady

during playback

If you create a pattern that contains an extremely large amount of
data, or if you input an excessive amount of knob data, notes may be
delayed or unsteady during playback. This problem can also occur if
the tempo is speeded up excessively.

• Delete unneeded note data or knob data. Use “Data Thin” to thin

out the unneeded data (p. 87).

• Use “Move Event” to move notes that were input at the same

location as chords, so that they are staggered by 1 clock (p. 78).

• Use “Shift Clock” to move data of parts other than the rhythm

part backward by 1 clock (p. 87).

The RS-70 contains some patches that are intended for live playing in
Patch mode; these include tones that use four voices for each note, or
patches that use the Dual function to produce rich sounds. If you are
using a sequencer, playback may be smoother if you avoid using
such sounds, and instead choose sounds that use fewer voices.

• Refer to

“Patch List”

(p. 172), and switch to patches that use

tones with fewer voices.

• Select patches whose KEY MODE is other than “DUAL.”

• If the number of notes you are attempting to play

simultaneously is significantly greater than the maximum
polyphony, reduce the number of note messages in the data.

• In some cases, you may be able to lighten the load of multiple

notes by shortening the release of patches used in sections where
the data is especially dense.

Song data cannot be played

back correctly

Did you start playback at some point other
than the beginning of the song?

Songs meant for playback with General MIDI System and General
MIDI 2 System sound generators have a GM/GM2 System On
message recorded at the beginning of the song. If this message is
not received, the song data may not play back correctly.

Are you playing back data whose format is
something other than General MIDI 2 or
General MIDI?

The sound generator of the RS-70 conforms to General MIDI 2
system. It is not compatible with song data that uses formats
other than General MIDI 2 or General MIDI.
