Retaining the Current Tone Even
When Tones Are Switched
(Tone Remain)
This setting specifies whether the currently heard sound will
continue (ON) or not (OFF) when another tone is selected.
Parameter
Tone Remain
Effects settings change as soon as you switch to a new Tone,
without being influenced by the Tone Remain setting. Because
of this, certain effects settings can cause notes that were until
then sounding to no longer be heard, even though Tone Remain
has been set to ON.
Even if Tone Remain is set to ON, the sound of the current tone
is not carried over when changing from a Virtual Tonewheel
tone to a non-Virtual Tonewheel tone.
Changing the Clock (Timing)
Source (Clock Source)
You can control the tempo from an external MIDI device. Set this to
MIDI when synchronizing to the clock (tempo) of an external MIDI
device.
Parameter Value Description
Clock Source INT Synchronized to the internal clock
MIDI Synchronized to the external MIDI
device's clock.
The tempo indication "
to "
Internal tempo settings are made in the Tone screen (p. 29), the
Rhythm Edit screen (p. 93), the Arpeggio Edit Screen (p. 93),
Song/Rhythm/Arpeggio screen (p. 29), and Virtual Tonewheel
Screen (p. 29).
The tempo cannot be set if Clock Source is set to MIDI without
there being any external MIDI device connected. This can result
in Arpeggios (p. 46) and Rhythms (p. 48) not sounding, and
may change the manner in which certain effects are applied.
Transmitting Synchronization
Messages (Clock Out)
This setting determines whether or not the MIDI messages necessary
to synchronize the RD-700SX with external devices are to be
transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector.
Parameter

Using Program Change Messages
to Switch Setups
(SETUP Control Channel)
You can switch the RD-700SX's Setups with MIDI messages from an
external MIDI device.
Set the MIDI Receive channel for receiving the MIDI messages
(Program Changes) from the external MIDI device to be used for
switching Setups.
When not switching Setups from an external MIDI device, set this to
OFF.
Parameter
Control Channel
When the Control Channel settings are transmitted along with
the part's MIDI receive channel (p. 92), switching of Setups
takes priority over the switching of tones.
For more information about Switching Setups, refer to
"Switching Setups" (p. 103).
Setting the Device ID Number
(Device ID)
The Device ID number is an identification number used when
transmitting and receiving MIDI Exclusive messages. When
transmitting Exclusive messages, the device ID numbers of the
corresponding devices must be matched.
Parameter
Device ID
Switching the Pedal's Polarity
(Pedal/FC1/FC2 Polarity)
Switch the polarity of pedals connected to the RD-700SX.
This can be set individually for each of the Pedal jacks on the rear
panel (FC1, FC2, DAMPER).
On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal when it is
pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has
an effect opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to Reverse.
If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch), set this
parameter to STANDARD.
