Roland RD-700GX User Guide

 

Detailed Settings for Each Function ([EDIT] Button)

 

The RD-700GX features internal drum patterns complementing 
Jazz, Rock, and other various musical genres. This kind of 
drum pattern is called a “Rhythm.”

 

Specify the tempo of the Rhythm.

The RD-700GX has only one tempo setting. Once 
you change the setting, the tempo indicated in the 
Tone screen and the tempo setting for the song 
and arpeggiator (p. 131) both change.

The way Rhythm is played and the tempo display 
may differ with some Rhythm Patterns.

With Clock Source (p. 109) set to “EXT,” “E:” 
appears in the display, and the RD-700GX is 
synchronized to the tempo of the external MIDI 
device. The tempo cannot be changed with the RD-
700GX when “E:” is indicated.

 

Adjusts the volume of the Rhythm.

 

This selects the Rhythm pattern. Select from 205 options.

You can also change a Rhythm’s pattern in the 
“Rhythm/Arpeggio screen” (p. 57).

 

You can change a Rhythm’s drum set (set of drum and 
percussion tones). 

You can select Tones other than Rhythm Sets.

When this setting is changed, the Part 10 Tone 
also changes.
In addition, Rhythm Set Change is set to OFF.

Depending on the Rhythm Set that is selected, the 
Rhythm Set may not play back properly.

 

Each Rhythm in a Rhythm pattern has the most suitable drum 
set (set of drum and percussion tones) assigned to it. When 
Rhythm patterns are changed, the drum sets also switch, so the 
tone is changed, but here the drum set stays constant and does 
not change.

 

Modifies the strength of accents and the length of the notes to 
adjust the “groove” feel of the arpeggio. A setting of 100% 
will produce the most pronounced groove feel.
