Roland RS-70 业主指南

 

Broadly speaking, the RS-70 consists of a 

 

 

section, a 

 

 section, and a 

 

 section.

This section consists of the keyboard, pitch bend/modulation lever, 
panel knobs and buttons, and D Beam controller. It also includes any 
pedals that may be connected to the rear panel. The performance 
information generated when you do things such as press/release a 
key, or depress the hold pedal is sent to the sound generator section, 
sequencer section, and/or an external sound device.

 

According to the performance data it receives from the Keyboard 
Controller section and Quick Sequencer section, this section 
generates and outputs sounds from the output jacks and headphone 
jack. Up to sixteen parts can each play different sounds (patches), 
with a simultaneous total of up to 64 notes. This section also includes 
three effects (reverb, chorus, multi-effects).

 

This section records operations such as your keyboard playing on 
several independent parts, and sends this data to the sound 
generator section to play it back. A loop recording function makes it 
easy to create a musical pattern of any desired length. The patterns 
you create can be connected in any desired order and played as a 
song.

 

When using the RS-70, 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.

 

On the RS-70, the tones are the smallest unit of sound. However, it is 
not possible to play a tone by itself. The patch is the unit of sound 
that can be played, and the tones are the basic building blocks that 
make up the patch.

On the RS-70, the sounds you use for normal playing (e.g., from the 
keyboard) are called 

 

. A patch is analogous to an instrument 

held by a member of an orchestra. Each patch consists of two tones; 
an 

 

 and 

 

. You can assign the two tones to their 

own region of the keyboard, or play them together to produce a 
richer sound (p. 55). Detailed settings can be made independently for 
each of the two tones (p. 57).

 

Rhythm sets are groups consisting of various percussion instrument 
sounds. Since percussion instruments generally do not play 
melodies, there is no need for a percussion instrument sound to be 
able to play a scale on the keyboard. It is, however, more important 
that as many percussion instruments as possible be available to you 
at the same time. Therefore, each key (note number) of a rhythm set 
will produce a different percussion instrument.
