Cause/Remedy
Could the Twin Piano mode be set to "Individual"? (p. 105)
If Twin Piano is turned "On" and the mode setting is "Individual," and headphones are connected, sound will not be
heard from the right-hand Phones jack when you play the left-hand side of the keyboard. Similarly, sound will not be
heard from the left-hand Phones jack when you play the right-hand side of the keyboard.
No sound from the left side is V-LINK switched on? (p. 196)
When V-LINK is switched on, the twelve keys at the left end of the keyboard are used to control images, and no sounds
are played with these keys.
Is the portable audio player connected correctly? (p. 195)
Could the Roland Audio Port Volume knob be turned to the minimum position? (p. 195)
The portable audio player's volume is adjusted with the Roland Audio Port Volume knob; not by the [Volume] knob.
Is the Roland Audio Port Mode set correctly? (p. 183)
Set the type appropriately for the CD that you want to play.
Have all devices been switched on?
Are the MIDI cables connected correctly? (p. 196)
Does the MIDI channel match the connected instrument? (p. 197)
Has Local Control been set to "Off"?
When Local Control is set to Off, no sound is produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local Control to On (p. 198).
The maximum number of notes can play simultaneously is 128. Frequent use of the damper pedal during automatic
accompaniment or when playing along with a song on external memory may result in performance data with too
many notes, causing some notes to drop out.
Is the RM-700 in layer play? (p. 38)
When the RM-700 is connected to an external sequencer, set it to the Local Off mode (p. 198).
Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its Soft Thru feature is Off.
Have you set transpose? (p. 122)
Is the setting for the "Temperament" correct? (p. 32, p. 177)
Is the setting for the "Master Tune" correct? (p. 32, p. 176)
Is the settings for the "Stretch Tuning" correct? (p. 33, p. 177)
If different effects have been selected for the upper, lower, Layer, and other Tones, and the effects for the Parts don't
match, only one of the effects is applied.
It's not possible to apply more than one effect at the same time, so when a performance has been recorded on
multiple tracks or when playing along with a song as it's played back, the desired effect may not be applied.
If automatic accompaniment is stopped and Synchro Start is turned off, playing the left-hand side of the keyboard will
sound a Bass Tone/Chord Tone (p. 64).
The Bass Tone/Chord Tone will stop sounding when you press the One Touch Program [Rhythm] button or press the
[Break] button.
During automatic accompaniment, changing the Music Style automatically changes the Tones and tempo of the
upper part of the keyboard to match the new Music Style. If you want to change only the Music Style without also
altering the tempo and Tone, check out "Changing Music Styles Without Changing the Tone or Tempo (Rhythm One
Touch)" (p. 181).
Since the RM-700's piano sounds faithfully reproduce the sense of spaciousness and reverberation of an actual
acoustic piano's sound, a certain amount of reverberation is still perceptible, even with the reverb effect deactivated.
You may be able to decrease this by lowering the Key Off Resonance value (p. 32).
Have you made the correct 3D settings for use with headphones? (p. 44)
Changing the 3D "Mode" to "Headphones" or "Auto" and connecting a pair of headphones configures the settings for
use with headphones.
On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper one and a half octaves of the keyboard continue to sound until they decay
naturally, regardless of the damper pedal.
There is a difference in the timbre as well. Roland pianos faithfully simulate such characteristics of the acoustic piano.
The range that is unaffected by the damper pedal will change depending on the Transpose setting.
