Roland RD-700SX 用户手册

 

This switches the appearance of the display. When “INVERT” is 
selected, the blue and white portions of the display are the reverse of 
what they are when “NORMAL” is selected.

This selects the number of parts for the RD-700SX.

When set to “16PART+PERF,” the performance on the keyboard is 
not affected by MIDI messages from the MIDI IN connector or song 
data played by the RD-700SX. This is useful when you want to 
perform on the keyboard while playing song data with the RD-
700SX.

This sets the tuning and keynote (tonic).

Most modern songs are composed and played with the assumption 
that equal temperament will be used, but when classical music was 
composed, there were a wide variety of other tuning systems in 
existence. Playing a composition with its original tuning lets you 
enjoy the sonorities of the chords that the composer originally 
intended.

When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you need 
to specify the keynote for tuning the song to be performed (that is, 
the note that corresponds to C for a major key or to A for a minor 
key).

If you choose an equal temperament, there’s no need to select a 
keynote.

Changes the pitch using the “stretch tuning” method typically used 
on acoustic pianos. This makes high-range sounds slightly higher in 
pitch, and low-range sounds slightly lower in pitch.

Specifies whether General MIDI System On, General MIDI 2 System 
On, or GS Reset messages from external MIDI devices will be 
received (ON) or not (OFF).

16PART, 
16PART+PERF (Performance)

 

Temperament

EQUAL

Equal Temperament. This 
tuning divides an octave into 12 
equal parts. Every interval 
produces about the same 
amount of slight dissonance. 

JUST MAJ

Just (Major). This scale 
eliminates dissonance in fifths 
and thirds. It is unsuited to 
playing melodies and cannot be 
transposed, but is capable of 
beautiful sonorities.

Temperament

JUST MIN

Just (Minor). The scales of the 
major and minor just 
intonations are different. You 
can get the same effect with the 
minor scale as with the major 
scale.

PYTHAGOR
EAN

This scale devised by the 
philosopher Pythagoras 
eliminates dissonance in fourths 
and fifths. Dissonance is 
produced by third-interval 
chords, but melodies are 
euphonious.

KIRNBERGE
R

This scale is a modification of 
the meantone and just 
intonations that permits greater 
freedom in transposition to 
other keys. Performances are 
possible in all keys (III).

MEAN 
TONE

This scale makes some 
compromises in just intonation, 
enabling transposition to other 
keys.

WERCKMEI
STER

This is a combination of the 
mean tone and Pythagorean 
scales. Performances are 
possible in all keys (first 
technique, III).

ARABIC

Arabic Scale. This scale is 
suitable for Arabic music.
