Making Detailed Settings for the ONE TOUCH Tones
The typical E. Piano produces sound when a hammer strikes a
metal rod called the tine with tone bar, whose vibrations are
detected by a pickup. On this type of piano, the tonal
character can be adjusted by changing the angle of the tone
bars and pickups.
The RD-700GX can simulate this aspect of the system.
Equivalent tonal changes can also be produced for E. Pianos
that don’t use tone bars.

Equivalent tonal changes can also be produced for E. Pianos
that don’t use tone bars.
The typical E. Piano uses pickups to convert the vibrations of
the tone bars into sound. By adjusting this parameter, you can
obtain the effect of changing the distance between the tone
bars and the pickups.
