Roland RS-70 オーナーマニュアル

 

Basic Operation

 

The RS-70 has numerous functions, and these functions are 
organized into the following four modes. The operation of the sound 
generator and the screens that appear in the display will differ 
depending on the mode.

 

You will use this mode when you want to play the keyboard in a 
band or a solo performance.

When you turn on the power, the RS-70 will start up in Patch mode. 
From other modes, you can press [PATCH] to enter this mode.

All of the three built-in effects processors are used only for the patch 
you are playing.

In Patch mode you can select and edit patches, and create user 
patches.

In this mode, you can simultaneously play different sounds on up to 
sixteen parts. You can use the Quick Sequencer function to select and 
play patterns (p. 51), or create your own patterns. After turning on 
the power, press [PATTERN] to select this mode. The three built-in 
effects processors are used in common by the patches of each part.

You can create up to 256 user patterns.

Use Pattern mode if you are using the RS-70 as a multitimbral 
sound module connected to an external device, such as a 
computer.

 

In this mode, you can create a song by connecting two or more 
patterns in the order of playback.

In one song, you can register up to 50 patterns.

After turning on the power, press [SONG] to select this mode.

In Song mode you can select, play, and create songs.

In this mode, SMF (Standard MIDI File) format music data can be 
read directly from a floppy disk and played back.

You can use General MIDI/General MIDI 2 compatible music data 
in this mode to enjoy 

 

 — listening to a 

musical accompaniment with the melody part muted, and playing 
the melody yourself.

You can select this mode by holding down [SHIFT] and pressing 
[TAP TEMPO] (p. 47).

On the RS-70, the numerous parameters are organized into 

 

 so 

that they can be displayed efficiently within the display. To select a 
parameter, move to the appropriate page. The underlined area 
(

 

) in the screen will blink to indicate that you may edit that 

value.

The basic procedure for editing a parameter is to use PAGE/

CURSOR [

]/[

] to move between pages, and use VALUE [-]/

[+] to modify the value in the page.

In cases where there are numerous pages, pages of related content 
are organized into 

 

. When editing such parameters, you can 

hold down [SHIFT] and use PAGE/CURSOR [

]/[

] to jump to 

the previous or next group.

 

When using PAGE/CURSOR [

]/[

] or VALUE [-]/[+], you 

can make the value change more rapidly by holding down one 
button while you press the other button. Or, if you hold down 
[SHIFT] while using these buttons, the value will change in 
larger steps, or you can move between sound category groups 
(p. 68).

 

If [ENT] is indicated in the upper right of the display, you can 
execute the command you have selected by pressing [ENTER].
