Roland RD-600 Owner's Manual page 13

Selecting a sound (Tone)
The RD-600 contains a total of 128 different tones (preset sounds).
These Tones are selected by specifying the group (A/B), category (PLANO 1-CLAV/MALLET)
and variation (1-8).
Rhythm Sets are assigned to B86-B88. Ordinary Tones will produce the same sound no matter
which note is played, but a Rhythm Set will sound a different percussion instrument for each
key.
For the built-in Tones and Rhythm Sets, and for the percussion sounds that are assigned to each
key of a Rhythm Set, refer to the included Tone List and Rhythm Set List (back cover).
