Using the sequencer to create patterns (Pattern mode)

Inputting various types of notes

Inputting a chord

Press the chord. A chord will be input when you release all keys
simultaneously. The chord will not be input as long as even one key
remains pressed, so you can change the keys being pressed to correct
the chord.

Inputting a rest

Press [

] instead of pressing the key.

A note will not be input, but the position will advance by the length
of the step time.

Inputting a tie

If you press [

] instead of pressing a new key, the previously input

note will be lengthened by the length of the step time, inputting a tie.
For example, if you want to connect three quarter notes, step-input a
quarter note, and then press [

] twice.

Inputting a whole note

Press [

] after inputting a half note.

Inputting a dotted note

First input an un-dotted note. Next, set the step time to a length of
half the note you input previously, and press [

].

For example, to input a dotted half note, first input the half note.
Next, change the step time to a quarter note and press [

].

If you make a mistake

If you input a note or a rest by mistake, press [ERASE/UNDO] to
delete it. When you delete a note, the deleted note will sound by way
of confirmation.

Editing individual items of

music data (Microscope edit)

The Microscope lets you edit individual items (

events

) of recorded

performance data; for example you can move an individual event’s
location, make precise changes to it, or delete or insert a single note.

In Pattern mode, hold down [SHIFT] and press [

] to switch to the

Microscope screen. The events in the current part of the currently
selected pattern will be displayed together with the current location
(measure–beat–clock).

Music data handled in Microscope

mode

The Microscope lets you view and edit the following 8 types of
music data (event).

Note

Data that plays a sound.

VALUE

Note:

C-1–G9 (Note)

Velo:

1–127 (Velocity)

Gate:

1–65535 (Gate Time)

PAft (Polyphonic Aftertouch)

These events apply aftertouch to individual keys.

VALUE

Note:

C-1–G9 (Note)

Value:

0–127

The note name will be displayed in brackets.

Polyphonic aftertouch is data transmitted independently from each key
to indicate the force with which each key is being pressed down after it
is played. Since the RS-70 is not able to transmit polyphonic aftertouch,
these events cannot be recorded from the RS-70’s keyboard.

CtrlChg (Control Change)

These events correspond to various control numbers, and are used to
apply effects such as modulation or pan. These are used mainly to
operate knobs and lever.

VALUE

CC#:

0–127 (Controller Number)

Value:

0–127

If you want to know more about the function of each controller
number, refer to

“Settings related to controllers

(CONTROLLER)”

(p. 126).

ProgChg (Program Change)

These events are used to select sounds (patches). The sound
corresponding to the program number will be selected.

Value:

1–128 (Program Number)
