• The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a  
marked change in performance.  
013  
102b  
In households with small children, an adult should provide  
supervision until the child is capable of following all the  
rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.  
Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord when  
plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.  
014  
103a  
Protect the unit from strong impact.  
At regular intervals, you should unplug the power plug and  
clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accu-  
mulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power  
plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain  
unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation  
of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can  
result in poor insulation and lead to fire.  
(Do not drop it!)  
015  
Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet  
with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especial-  
ly careful when using extension cords; the total power used  
by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’  
outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes)  
for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insula-  
tion on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.  
104  
Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled.  
Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out  
of the reach of children.

DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional audio CD  
player. The resulting sound may be of a level that could  
cause permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers or other  
system components may result.  
Never handle the power cord or its plugs with wet hands  
when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this  
unit.

IMPORTANT NOTES  
Power Supply  
Maintenance  
301  
401a  
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used  
by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a  
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner),  
or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the  
electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to  
malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a  
separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between  
this unit and the electrical outlet.  
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that  
has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a  
cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be  
sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.  
402  
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid  
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.  
307  
308  
Repairs and Data  
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all  
units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers  
or other devices.  
452  
• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be  
lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be  
backed up USB memories, or written down on paper (when possible).  
During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in  
certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of  
order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and  
Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.  
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the POWER switch  
is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely  
disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the  
power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the  
power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into  
which you choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one  
that is within easy reach and readily accessible.  
Additional Precautions  
551  
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost  
as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit.  
To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we  
recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important  
data you have stored in the unit’s memory on USB memories.  
Placement  
351  
• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing  
large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem,  
change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the  
source of interference.  
552  
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data  
352a  
that was stored in the unit’s memory, or USB memories once it has  
been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such  
loss of data.  
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not  
use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.  
352b  
553  
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as  
cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could  
occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should  
you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless  
devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them  
off.  
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders,  
or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough  
handling can lead to malfunctions.  
554  
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.  
555  
354a  
• A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal  
operation.  
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that  
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject  
it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the  
unit.  
556  
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector  
itself; never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or  
damage to the cable’s internal elements.  
557  
355b  
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature  
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may  
form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt  
to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you  
must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has  
completely evaporated.  
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal  
operation.  
558a  
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at  
reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not  
need to be concerned about those around you.  
558d edit  
358  
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the  
cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.  
360  
• The sound of keys being struck and vibrations produced by playing  
an instrument can be transmitted through a floor or wall to an  
unexpected extent.  
In particular, when using headphones, please take care not to cause  
annoyance to others nearby.  
• Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which  
you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.  
You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent  
this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will  
not slip or move accidentally.  
559a  
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including  
padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use  
equivalent packaging materials.  
361  
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this  
unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish,  
spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills  
on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.  
561  
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5, EV-7; sold separately). By  
connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction  
and/or damage to the unit.

Overview of the RD-700NX  
Basic Organization of the RD-700NX  
The RD-700NX can be divided into two sections: a controller section and a sound generator section.  
Controller Section  
This section includes the keyboard, the Pitch Bend/Modulation lever,  
Sound Generator Section  
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 damper pedal, and so forth, are converted to MIDI  
messages and sent to the sound generator section, or to an external  
MIDI device.  
Play  
Sound Generator Section  
The sound generator section produces the sound. Here, MIDI  
messages received from the controller section or external MIDI device  
are converted to musical signals, which are then output as analog  
signals from the OUTPUT and PHONES jacks.  
Controller Section  
(controllers such as keyboard, pitch bend lever, etc )  
About Memory  
Memory provides storage locations where Live Sets and other settings are stored. There are three types of memory: “temporary memory,”“rewritable  
memory,”and “non-rewritable memory.”  
Temporary memory  
RD-700NX  
Rewritable memory  
Non-rewritable memory  
Temporary area  
System memory  
Data for the patch you select via the front panel buttons is called up to  
this area.  
Preset memory  
User memory  
When you play the keyboard or play back the SMF, sounds are  
produced according to the settings that are in the temporary area.  
When you edit a patch, the changes you make do not directly modify  
the data in memory; rather, the data is read into the temporary area,  
then modified.  
Live Set  
300 sets  
Live Set  
100 sets  
The settings in the temporary area will be lost when you turn off the  
power or call up other settings. If you want to keep the data that’s in  
the temporary area, you must store it into rewritable memory.

About Live Sets  
The RD-700NX lets you store the sounds that you create.  
A sound you create is called a “Live Set”; you can use the buttons to recall a Live Set and then play it.  
Live Sets are organized into a “preset bank”and a “user bank.”

Layer  
The RD-700NX features four parts (UPPER 1, UPPER 2, LOWER 1, and LOWER 2) that you can use for freely controlling the Internal parts with the  
RD-700NX’s buttons and keyboard. These four parts that are used for controlling the Internal parts are collectively known as the “Layer.”  
Furthermore, you can freely control external MIDI sound generators with the RD-700NX in the same manner as with the Layer. You can likewise control  
the external MIDI sound generator with the four parts (UPPER 1, UPPER 2, LOWER 1, and LOWER 2), with this group of four parts being referred to as the  
“EXTERNAL Layer.”The external MIDI sound generator is assigned to these four parts for control.  
Tone  
The individual sounds used when playing the RD-700NX are referred to as “Tones.”Tones are assigned to each layer.  
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.  
Preset bank  
This contains 300 pre-programmed Live Sets.  
Although you cannot rewrite the contents of this bank, you are free to create new sounds based on these Live Sets.  
User bank  
Sounds that you create can be saved in this bank of 100 Live Sets.  
For details on how to save a sound, refer to “Storing Settings to Live Sets”(p. 45).

Transposing the Key of the Keyboard (TRANSPOSE)  
You can transpose performances without changing the keys you are playing, as well as change the pitch by an octave. This feature is called “Transpose.”  
This is a convenient feature to use when you want to match the pitch of the keyboard performance to a vocalist’s pitch, or perform using the printed  
music for trumpets or other transposed instruments.  
You can adjust the transpose setting in semitone steps over a range of -48–0–+48 relative to C4.  
NOTE  
Note messages from MIDI IN connector will not be transposed.

Simulating the Creation of Organ Tones  
When any of the “TW-Organ 1–10”Tones is selected for any of the layer, you can perform in “Tone Wheel mode,”in which the creation of organ sounds is  
simulated.  
An organ features nine “harmonic bars”that can be drawn in and out, and by using the bars in different combinations of positions, a variety of different  
tones can be created. Different “Feet”are assigned to each bar, with the pitches of the sounds being determined by these “Feet.”You can simulate the  
creation of tones using the harmonic bars by assigning Feet to the Layer LEVEL sliders.  
While there are only four Layer LEVEL sliders, you can switch the Feet setting by turning the Layer switch buttons on and off, thus allowing you to  
assign eight Feet settings to the sliders.  
What Are “Feet?”  
Feet basically refers to the lengths of pipe used in pipe organs. The length of pipe used to produce the reference pitch (the fundamental) for the  
keyboard is eight feet. Reducing the pipe to half its length produces a pitch one octave higher; conversely, doubling the pipe length creates a  
pitch one octave lower. Therefore, a pipe producing a pitch one octave below that of the reference of 8’(eight feet) would be 16’; for one octave  
above the reference, the pipe would be 4’, and to take the pitch up yet another octave it would be shortened to 2’.  
1. Access the Live Set screen (p  27)  
2. Select a Live Set to which one of the “TW-Organ 1–10” tones is assigned  
3. Press the Cursor [ ] button  
The Tone Wheel screen will appear.  
This Tone Wheel screen appears only when a Tone Wheel Tone is selected for one of the Layer.  
4. When the Layer LEVEL sliders are moved, the harmonic bars move in the display, and the  
tone changes  
By pressing the Layer switch buttons on and off, you can adjust the sounds for other Feet.  
If the cursor is moved to the value at the bottom of the screen, you can adjust the sounds for Feet with the [DEC] [INC] buttons.  
5. Press the Cursor [ ] [ ] buttons to move the cursor to “Perc” and press the [DEC] [INC] buttons to change the value  
Perc (Percussion) adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of the note to give the sound more crispness. The attack sound changes according to the  
value.

This effect is difficult to hear when headphones are used  
Reproduces the way the brightness of a grand piano’s sound is affected by how much the piano’s lid is  
opened.  
The lid is opened more as the value is increased, creating a brighter sound.  
This adjusts the damper noise (the sound that occurs when the strings of an acoustic piano are released  
by pressing the damper pedal).  
Increasing this value will increase the sound that is heard when the strings are released.  
Damper Noise  
0–127  
0–127  
This adjusts the sound of the sympathetically vibrating aliquot strings on an acoustic piano.  
Higher values will increase the volume of the sympathetic vibration.  
What are Duplex Scale?  
“Duplex Scale”refers to a system that causes sympathetic vibrations in the sections of the  
string toward the front and toward the back.  
Duplex Scale  
It can produce sound that is richer and brighter by adding the string’s higher harmonics.  
Because no damper (sound-stopping mechanism) is applied to the front or back sections of  
the string, the resonating sounds linger even after the sound of the string stops when you  
release the played key.  
When the keys are pressed on an acoustic piano, the strings for keys that are already pressed also vibrate  
sympathetically. The function used to reproduce is called “String Resonance.”  
Increasing the value will increase the amount of effect.  
String Resonance  
Key Off Resonance  
OFF, 1–127  
OFF, 1–127  
This adjusts resonances such as the key-off sound of an acoustic piano (subtle sounds that are heard  
when you release a key).  
Higher values will increase the volume of the resonances.  
This adjusts the sound of the hammer striking the string of an acoustic piano.  
Higher values will increase the sound of the hammer striking the string.  
Hammer Noise  
Tone Character  
-2–0–+2  
-5–0–+5  
Higher values produce a harder sound; lower values produce a more mellow sound.  
This lets you change the way that the sound will respond when you play the keyboard softly. For  
example, this can be adjusted suitably for solo performance, or to prevent your sound from being buried  
in the rest of the band.  
Sound Lift  
0–127  
Increasing this value will allow fairly loud sounds to be produced even when you play with a light touch,  
so that your performance will not be obscured by the playing of your band.

Making Detailed Settings for the E. Piano Tones  
The RD-700NX contains a SuperNATURAL E. Piano sound generator.  
The SuperNATURAL E. Piano sound generator is Roland’s completely new sound generator, which faithfully models the varieties and characteristics of  
the vintage electric pianos of the ’60s through the ’80s. It is not limited to typical E. piano modeling, but also provides completely new types of E. piano  
sound.  
Unlike the parameters of a conventional synthesizer, this allows you to create a variety of sounds in the way that a specialized engineer or tuner could  
do. For example, you can easily change the position of the pickups, or exchange components of the sound-generating system.

*
Depending on the tone you select, some of the parameters described below may not produce any change in the sound  
when you edit them  
The typical E. Piano produces sound when a hammer strikes a metal rod called the tine with tone bar,  
whose vibrations are detected by a pickup. On this type of piano, the tonal character can be adjusted by  
changing the angle of the tone bars and pickups.  
Bar Angle  
-10–0–+10  
-2–0–+2  
Higher settings will emphasize the fundamental, producing a thicker sound.  
The typical E. Piano uses pickups to convert the vibrations of the tone bars into sound. By adjusting this  
parameter, you can obtain the effect of changing the distance between the tone bars and the pickups.  
Pickup Distance  
Lowering this value will move the tone bars and pickups farther apart. This makes it easier for you to  
produce varied dynamics. Increasing this value will produce a more powerful sound.  
This adjusts the balance between two components of the attack; the Bell component and the Thump  
produced by the hammer.  
Bell/Thump  
-10–0–+10  
-10–0–+10  
Adjusting this value from 0 toward the negative side will emphasize the bell sound, while adjusting it  
toward the positive side will emphasize the hammer sound.  
This adjusts the tonal character of the bell sound included in the attack.  
Bell Character  
Adjusting this value from 0 toward the negative side will produce a heavier character, while adjusting it  
toward the positive side will produce a lighter character.  
This adjusts the damper noise (the noise heard when you press the damper pedal to release the tone  
bars).  
Damper Noise  
-10–0–+10  
-10–0–+10  
Increasing this value will make the damper noise louder.  
*
Depending on the selected Tone, this may have no effect  
This adjusts resonances such as the key-off sound (the faint sound heard when you release a key).  
Key Off Reso (Key Off  
Resonance)  
Higher values will produce a louder key-off sound.  
At a setting of -10 there will be no key-off sound at all.  
*
Depending on the selected Tone, this may have no effect  
This adjusts the amount of hum and other noise that leaks into the pickups.  
Electric pianos were susceptible to various types of noise, and this noise would sometimes be output  
along with the sounds of the performance. Depending on the effect settings, such noises can produce  
an authentic, lively atmosphere.  
HUM Noise  
-10–0–+10  
Adjusting this value from 0 toward the negative side will produce a clearer sound, while adjusting it  
toward the positive side will produce a dirty sound.  
At a setting of -10 there will be no hum at all.  
*
Depending on the selected Tone, this may have no effect  
By changing the tuning type you can change the way in which chords will resonate.

Making Detailed Settings for Tones  
Parameter  
Mono/Poly  
Value  
Description  
Specifies whether the tone will play polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO).  
The MONO setting is effective when playing a solo instrument tone such as sax or flute.  
Additionally, when this is set to “MONO LEGATO,”you can have monophonic performances played legato. Legato is a playing style in which the  
spaces between notes are smoothed, creating a flowing feel with no borders between the notes. This creates a smooth transition between notes,  
which is effective when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.  
MONO  
Only the last-played note will sound.  
POLY  
Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.  
MONO LEGATO  
Legato is applied to monophonic performances.  
Portamento is a function that causes the pitch to change smoothly from one note to the next note played.  
Portamento SW  
ON, OFF  
With the Mono/Poly parameter set to MONO, portamento is especially effective when simulating playing techniques such as  
a violin glissandos.  
The Portamento Time setting determines the time for the change in pitch when the portamento effect is applied to the  
sound. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more time.  
Portamento Time 0–127  
Bend Range  
0–24 (semitone)  
This sets the amount of pitch change that will occur when you move the Pitch Bend lever (2 octaves).  
The time it takes after the key is pressed for a sound to reach full volume.  
Higher values produce a milder attack; lower values produce a sharper attack.  
Attack Time  
(Offset)  
*
With some Tones, the effect does not work as intended  
This is the time over which the sound decays to silence after you release the key.  
Higher values produce longer decay; set lower values for a clear-cut sound.  
Release Time

*
With some Tones, the effect does not work as intended  
Adjusts how much the filter is opened.  
Cutoff (Offset)  
Higher values brighten the sound; lower values make the sound seem darker.  
-64–+63  
*
With some Tones, the effect does not work as intended  
Emphasizes the overtones in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings  
can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.  
Resonance  
(Offset)  
Higher value makes the special quality of the sound stronger; lower value reduce these characteristics.  
*
With some Tones, the effect does not work as intended  
The time it is to take following the attack for the volume to decrease.  
Decay Time  
(Offset)  
The time it takes for the volume to fall increases as the value is raised; lowering the value decreases the decay time.  
*

Making Detailed Settings for Tones  
Making Layer Settings  
The RD-700NX features four Parts (UPPER 1, UPPER 2, LOWER 1, and LOWER 2) that you can use for freely controlling the internal parts with the  
RD-700NX’s buttons and keyboard.  
These four parts that are used for controlling the internal parts are collectively known as the “Layer.”  
You can perform operations like Split with the Layer very simply using the RD-700NX’s keyboard (p. 29), and you can make more detailed settings for the  
Layer as well.  
NOTE  
Depending on the tone selected, there may be parameters that cannot be altered.

VOL (Volume)  
PAN  
0–127  
The Volume setting is mainly used when multiple tones are playing to obtain the desired balance in volume between each  
layer.  
The Pan setting localizes the sound image of each layer when the output is in stereo. With an increase in the value for L,  
more of the sound will be heard as coming from the left side. Similarly, more of the sound will originate at the right if the  
value of R is increased. When set to 0, the sound is heard as coming from the center.  
L64–0–R63  
REV  
This sets the depth of the reverb and chorus effects.  
(Reverb Amount)  
0–127  
When this value is set to “0,”no reverb or chorus effect is applied when the REVERB [DEPTH] knob or the CHORUS [DEPTH]  
knob is turned.  
CHO  
(Chorus Amount)  
You can perform with each Layer transposed to a different pitch.  
When multiple tones are playing, you can create a richer sound by setting the two Tones to different octaves. Also, if the  
Keyboard Mode is set to Split (p. 29) and you are playing a bass Tone in the lower Layer, you can use the Transpose function to  
play the bass at a lower pitch.  
TRA (Transpose)  
-48–0–+48  
You can also set the same degree of transposition for all layers with the [TRANSPOSE] button. For details, refer to “Transpos-  
ing the Key of the Keyboard (TRANSPOSE)”(p. 32).  
When the [SPLIT] button is pressed in normal performance conditions, the key range is divided at the Split Point, and you  
can play with two different tones on one keyboard.  
LWR (Key Range  
Lower)  
Using Key Range allows you to make even more detailed key range settings.  
This sets the lower and upper limit of the key range in each layer. You cannot set the key range’s lower limit higher than the  
upper limit, nor can you set the upper limit below the lower limit.  
A0–C8  
After moving the cursor to the parameter to be set, you can make the setting by pressing the designated key and the  
[ENTER] button.  
This is effective only when the [SPLIT] button is on (p. 29) in the key range settings.  
UPR (Key Range  
Upper)  
“FUL”is displayed when the [SPLIT] button is set to OFF. In this case, the [SPLIT] button is automatically switched on when  
the value is changed to something other than “FUL”with the [DEC] [INC] button or VALUE dial.  
When the split point (p. 29) is changed, the Key Range value also changes.

Using the RD-700NX As a Master Keyboard  
By connecting an external MIDI device to the MIDI OUT connectors on the RD-700NX’s rear panel, you can then control the external MIDI device from  
the RD-700NX.  
Normally, the RD-700NX will transmit note messages from the MIDI OUT connector, but if you press the [MIDI] button so the “MIDI”indicator is lit, you’ll  
be able to control various settings on your external MIDI device in addition to transmitting note messages.  
You can control internal and external sound generators independently.  
If you press the [MIDI] button so the “MIDI”indicator is lit, the RD-700NX will be in a state where it can control an external MIDI sound module  
(EXTERNAL layer). You push the [MIDI] button to switch between control of the Layer and control of the EXTERNAL layer.  
You can also make detailed settings for MIDI messages transmitted to external sound modules.  
What’s MIDI?  
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard specification that allows musical data to be exchanged between electronic musical  
instruments and computers. By using a MIDI cable to connect devices that have MIDI connectors, you can create an ensemble in which a single MIDI  
keyboard can play multiple instruments, or change settings automatically as the song progresses.  
About MIDI Connectors  
The RD-700NX has the following three types of MIDI connector. Their functions differ as described below.  
MIDI IN Connector  
Performance messages from an external MIDI device are received here. These incoming messages may instruct the RD-700NX to play sounds or switch  
tones.  
MIDI OUT Connector  
MIDI messages are transmitted from these connectors to external MIDI devices. The RD-700NX’s MIDI OUT connectors are used for sending the  
performance data of the controller section.  
MIDI THRU Connector  
MIDI messages received at MIDI IN connectors are re-transmitted without change from this connector to an external MIDI device. Use this in situations  
such as when you use multiple MIDI devices simultaneously.  
MEMO  
The RD-700NX lets you switch the function of the MIDI THRU/OUT 3 connector (p. 69).

Layer Switch  
This specifies whether MIDI data including the notes you play on the keyboard in the EXTERNAL layer will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector  
if the [MIDI] button is lit.  
When the Layer switch indicator for a Layer is lit (on), MIDI messages are transmitted from MIDI OUT connector when the keys for that Layer are played.  
When the Layer switch indicator for a Layer is not lighted (off), MIDI messages are not transmitted from MIDI OUT connector even when the keys for  
that part are played.  
Layer switch will turn on or off each time you press it.  
Layer LEVEL Slider  
If the [MIDI] button is lit, these sliders adjust the volume of the EXTERNAL layers.  
Selecting the MIDI Connector to Use for Output  
The RD-700NX provides two MIDI OUT connectors, a MIDI connector whose function can be switched between OUT and THRU, and a USB MIDI  
connector.  
For each layer you can select the MIDI OUT connector or USB MIDI connector from which its data is to be transmitted.

Using the RD-700NX As a Master Keyboard  
Changing the Range That Plays in Response  
to the Velocity (Velocity Range)  
Smoothly Changing the Pitch (Portamento)  
Portamento is a function that causes the pitch to change smoothly  
from one note to the next note played.  
This specifies the lower limit (LWR) and upper limit (UPR) of the range  
in which the tone is played according to how strongly the keys are  
played (velocity). Make this setting when you want the tone to change  
depending on the key velocity.  
The Portamento Time setting determines the time for the change in  
pitch when the portamento effect is applied to the sound. Higher  
settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more  
time.

If you set the minimum velocity to a value above the upper limit, or  
set the maximum velocity to a value that is below the lower limit,  
the setting for the other limit is changed to the same value.  
Setting the Change in Volume According to  
the Force Used to Play the Keyboard (Velocity  
Sense/Max)  
Changing Tone Elements (ATK/DCY/REL/COF/  
RES)  
Set the change in volume that occurs in response to the force used to  
play the keyboard (velocity) and the maximum value of the change.  
You can make changes in tones by adjusting the settings of the  
following five elements.  
Sns (Velocity Sense):  
This setting determines how the volume changes in response to the  
velocity.  
ATK (Attack Time Offset):  
The time it takes after the key is pressed for a sound to reach full  
volume.  
MAX (Velocity Max):  
This is the maximum velocity value produced when you play the  
keyboard.  
DCY (Decay Time Offset):  
This is the time over which the volume decays after the attack is  
finished.  
Parameter  
Value  
Description  
REL (Release Time Offset):  
The time it takes after the key is released for a sound to become  
inaudible.  
The volume is increased as the  
keyboard is played with greater  
force when a positive Value is used;  
when a negative value is selected,  
the volume decreases as the keys  
are played with greater force. If this  
is set to “0,”the volume will not be  
affected by the strength of your  
playing on the keyboard.  
COF (Cutoff Offset):  
Adjusts how much the filter is opened.  
Sns  
-63–+63  
(Velocity Sense)  
RES (Resonance Offset):  
This boosts the portions in the region around the cutoff frequency,  
lending a particular quality to the sound. Excessively high settings can  
produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.  
Lowering this value will produce  
softer notes even if you play the  
keyboard strongly.

Equal Temperament  
This tuning divides an octave  
into 12 equal parts. Every interval  
produces about the same  
amount of slight dissonance.  
You can make advanced settings for the touch used for the keys.  
1. Press the [MENU] button, getting the indicator to light  
The Menu screen appears.  
EQUAL  
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.  
JUST MAJ  
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.

Changing the Key Touch (Key Touch)  
Changing the Timing of Sounds in Response  
to the Velocity (Velo Delay Sens)  
The setting below allows you to adjust the response you get from the  
keyboard when you finger the keys.  
This sets the interval from the time the key is played to when the  
sound is produced.  
Parameter

Parameter  
Value  
Description  
As the value is decreased, the  
timing of the sound is delayed  
more when more force is used  
to play the keys. As the value  
is increased, the timing of the  
sound is delayed more when less  
force is used to play the keys.  
This sets the keyboard to a light  
touch. You can achieve fortissimo  
(ff) play with a less forceful touch  
than MEDIUM, so the keyboard  
feels lighter. This setting makes it  
easy to play, even for children.  
Velo Delay Sens (Veloc-  
ity Delay Sensitivity)

Changing the Touch Sensitivity According to  
the Key Range (Velo Keyflw Sens)  
This sets the keyboard to a  
heavy touch. You have to finger  
the keyboard more forcefully  
than MEDIUM in order to play  
fortissimo (ff), so the keyboard  
touch feels heavier. Dynamic  
fingering adds even more feeling  
to what you play.

Use the procedure described in the previous section “Settings for

The switch that connects and disconnects the MIDI connection  
between the keyboard controller section and the sound generator  
section (p. 20) is called the Local switch. Since essential information  
describing what is being played on the keyboard won’t reach the  
sound generator if the Local switch is set to OFF, the Local switch  
should normally be left ON.

OUT with no changes made to the data).

In this case, the data sent over two paths, i.e., the data sent directly  
from the keyboard controller section and the data sent from the  
keyboard controller section via the external sequencer, ends up  
being sent to the sound generator section simultaneously. Thus, for  
example, even when you play a “C”key only once, the note “C”cannot  
be sounded correctly, as the sound is played by the sound generator  
section twice.

Problem  
Check/Solution  
Page  
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the top  
of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper pedal. These notes  
also have a somewhat different tonal character. RD-700NX faithfully simulate this  
characteristic of acoustic pianos. On the RD-700NX, the range that is unaffected by the  
damper pedal will change according to the key control setting.  
The sound of the higher notes suddenly  
changes from a certain key  
–
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial high-  
frequency components that may sound as though a metallic ringing has been added.  
This is because the character of an actual piano is being faithfully reproduced, and is  
not a malfunction.  
High-pitched ringing is heard  
–
You can adjust this ringing by editing the following settings.  
• Duplex scale settings (p. 47)  
• String resonance settings (p. 47)  
• Reverb depth (p. 33)  
With certain tones, the sounds may seem to be distorted.  
Turn down the volume. Alternatively, lower the master gain setting.  
Low notes sound wrong, or are buzzy  
Can’t rewind or fastforward  
–
–
You can not rewind or fast-forward while music files is being read in. Wait until  
processing finishes.  
If you attempt to play back performance data that contains more data than the entire  
capacity of the RD-700NX’s memory, you may find that operations other than playback  
(such as rewind or fast forward) become unavailable.

If this occurs, you may be able to solve the problem by taking the following actions.  
• Use WAV format data rather than MP3 format data  
• Return the song tempo to its original setting (to 0%)

About the Ivory Feel Keyboard  
Features of an Ivory Feel keyboard  
Traditional piano keys are made from the best materials-ivory (for white keys) and ebony (for black keys). The Ivory Feel keyboard uses the latest in  
technology to reproduce the touch and feel of these materials.  
An Ivory Feel keyboard offers the following features.  
• We’re sure you’ll develop a fondness for the distinctive texture of these keys, which feels better the more you play them.  
• Surfaces incorporate stripes of moisture-absorbing material for improved touch and playability.  
• The keys feature subtle gloss and understated coloring, enhancing the look and elegance.  
• The white keys are finished with a slight yellowish tinge for the look of real ivory.  
Handling  
• Do not write on the keyboard with any pen or other implement, and do not stamp or place any marking on the instrument. Ink will seep into the  
surface lines and become unremovable.  
• Do not affix stickers on the keyboard. You may be unable to remove stickers that use strong adhesives, and the adhesive may cause discoloration.  
Care and Maintenance  
Please note the following points. Failure to do so may result in scratches on the surface finish, damaged gloss, or other discoloration or deformation.  
• To remove dirt, use a soft cloth.  
Using a moistened and tightly wrung-out cloth, gently wipe off any dirt.  
Do not rub the surface vigorously.  
• To remove stubborn dirt, use a commercially available keyboard cleaner that does not contain abrasives.  
Start by wiping lightly.  
If the dirt does not come off, wipe using gradually increasing amounts of pressure while taking care not to scratch the keys.  
• Do not use benzene, paint thinner, or alcohol on the instrument.
