RD-170 Edit parameters and Setup memories

r

Here’s how to save all settings discussed in this 
chapter along with the remaining part parame-
ters you can set via the front panel (velocity, 
Reverb status, etc.).

Note that you need to save your settings before 
switching on [SETUP] or switching off the 
RD-170. Otherwise, your changes are lost.

(1) Press the [WRITE] button.

The [SETUP] button as well as all numeric but-
tons [1]~[16] (except the one that corresponds 
to the last memory you selected) now flash in 
orange. The display looks as follows:

(“12” refers to the number of the last Setup you 
selected. This could be any other number 
between “1” and “16”.)

(2) Press the numeric button that corresponds to 

the memory where you would like to save 
your settings ([1]~[16]).
The [ENTER] button flashes.

(3) Press the [ENTER] button to confirm your 

selection.
Press [EXIT] (or [WRITE]) if you do not wish your 
settings after all. The [WRITE] button goes dark.

Here’s how to select one of your 16 Setups. 
Please note that SETUP is a mode you select. It 
remains active until you switch off the [SETUP] 
button or press the [SYSTEM] or [EDIT] button.

(1) Press the [SETUP] button.

The [SETUP] button lights and one of the 
numeric buttons (probably [1]) flashes. If this is 
the first time you’ve pressed [SETUP] since 
switching on the RD-170, button [1] lights. Oth-
erwise, the numeric button of the last memory 
you selected lights.

(2) Press the numeric button [1]~[16] that corre-

sponds to the Setup memory you wish to 
recall. You can also use [DEC÷NO]/[INC÷YES] to 
select the previous/next memory.
That button now lights in orange. If you con-
nected external MIDI instruments to the 
RD-170, they carry out all changes contained in 
your Setup memory (volume, Send levels, mem-
ory selection, etc.).

Note: If you edit a parameter after recalling a memory, 
the numeric button corresponding to that memory 
starts flashing.

(3) Press [SETUP] again (it goes dark) to leave the 

SETUP mode if you no longer need it.
The RD-170 will go on using the settings of the 
recalled Setup until you change them.

Note: When you switch on the RD-170, it starts up with 
a default set outside the SETUP mode. For live perfor-
mances, do not forget to switch on [SETUP] and to select 
the appropriate memory.

If you notice something you don’t like about 
your Setup (Reverb on the Lower part, for 
example), you can press and hold [LOWER] (or 
[UPPER] to change a setting for the Upper 
part).

Now all applicable buttons (TONE SELECT, 
[REVERB], [CHORUS]) flash in green (or red, if 
you’re holding down [UPPER]). Keep holding 
[LOWER] while switching [REVERB] on or off, 
for example, then let go of the [LOWER] but-
ton. You can also select other sounds using 
this system. (This also works for the [UPPER] 
button.)
