Overview of the RD-700SX
 
The RD-700SX can be divided into two sections: a keyboard 
controller section and a sound generator section. The two 
sections are connected internally by means of MIDI.

Keyboard Controller Section
 
This section includes the keyboard, the Pitch Bend/Modulation 
Lever, the panel knobs, the sliders, and any pedal connected to 
the rear panel. Actions such as pressing and releasing of keys on 
the keyboard, depressing a pedal, and so forth, are converted to 
MIDI messages and sent to the sound generator section, or to an 
external MIDI device.
 
Sound Generator Section
 
The sound generator section produces the sound. Here, MIDI 
messages received from the keyboard controller section or 
external MIDI device are converted to musical signals, which are 
then output as analog signals from the OUTPUT and PHONES 
jacks.
When using the RD-700SX, you will notice that a variety of 
different categories come into play when working with sounds. 
What follows is a simple explanation of each sound category.
 
Tone
 
The individual sounds used when playing the RD-700SX are 
referred to as “Tones.” The RD-700SX provides 488 types of 
Tones. Tones are assigned to each part.
The Tones also include various groups of percussion instrument 
assembled into “Rhythm Sets.” Each key (note number) of a 
Rhythm Set will produce a different percussion instrument.
 
Part
 
A sound generator of this type which can control multiple 
sounds using one device is referred to as a multitimbral sound 
generator. The RD-700SX contains a multitimbral sound 
generator capable of playing sixteen Tones simultaneously.
“Parts” are where Tones that are created when the RD-700SX is 
used as a sound generator are assigned. Since different Tones 
can be assigned to each of the Parts and controlled individually, 
you can have multiple Tones play simultaneously, divide the 
keyboard into separate ranges and have different Tones sound 
in the different parts (Split), and enjoy playing ensemble 
performances.
The sixteen Parts played by the RD-700SX’s internal sound 
generator are referred to as “Internal Parts.”
 
Zone
 
The RD-700SX features four Parts (UPPER1, UPPER2, LOWER1, 
and LOWER2) that you can use for freely controlling the Internal 
Parts with the RD-700SX’s buttons and keyboard. These four 
Parts that are used for controlling the Internal Parts are 
collectively known as the “INTERNAL Zone.” Four of the 
sixteen Internal Parts are assigned to the INTERNAL Zone for 
control (the RHYTHM Part is fixed at Part 10).
Furthermore, you can freely control external MIDI sound 
generators with the RD-700SX in the same manner as with the 
INTERNAL Zone. You can likewise control the external MIDI 
sound generator with the four Parts (UPPER1, UPPER2, 
LOWER1, and LOWER2), with this group of four Parts being 
referred to as the “EXTERNAL Zone.” The external MIDI sound 
generator is assigned to these three Parts for control (the 
RHYTHM Part can also be partially set).
 
ONE TOUCH Screen
 
When ONE TOUCH [PIANO] or [E.PIANO] is pressed, setting 
the RD-700SX to the optimal status for piano performances, this 
screen is displayed.
