Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the Roland RD-700NX. This TurboStart contains
step-by-step instructions that will quickly introduce you to its major features.
Listening to the RD-700NX's Preset Live Sets
The RD-700NX contains 200 Preset live sets, and you can store up to 100 of your own. Use
the following procedure to select a Preset live set on the RD-700NX.
1 Press the desired PIANO, E. PIANO, or LIVE SET button to select a category.
2 Use the INC and DEC buttons to choose live sets within the selected category.
Changing a Live Set's Tones
The sound of each live set is a result of the tones it plays. You can have two Upper tones
and two Lower tones in a live set. The UPPER 1 and 2 and LOWER 1 and 2 buttons in
the LAYER SWITCH/CONTROL area show you the tones that are active in the current live
set—if Upper 1 or 2, or Lower 1 or 2 is turned on, its button lights. Here's how to change
these tones.
1 Press a PIANO, E. PIANO, or LIVE SET category button so it lights, and then choose
the desired sound within that category.
2 Press LAYER EDIT so it lights.
3 Press the 6 button to highlight the desired tone onscreen.
Note: The RD-700NX's PIANO and E. PIANO sounds are based on SuperNATURAL technology
and have a unique internal structure in which Upper 1 can't be selected or changed.
Note:
If you highlight a tone that's not already turned on, its UPPER 1 or 2 or LOWER 1 or 2
button flashes. If you want to activate the tone, press the flashing button so it lights.
When LAYER EDIT is turned on, the PIANO, E. PIANO, and LIVE SET buttons act as
shortcut buttons that select tone categories instead of live set categories.
4 Press a PIANO, E. PIANO, or LIVE SET button to select the desired tone category.
5 Use the INC/DEC buttons or the dial to choose a tone in the selected category.
Note: You can also use these steps to change other tones in a live set.

the keyboard so that each hand plays a different tone or pair of tones as follows:
1 Select the desired live set.
2 Press SPLIT so it lights—the live set's Upper tones now play starting at the G below
Middle C, and the Lower tones play below that key.
Note: You can change the split point by holding down the SPLIT button and touching the
lowest key that you want play the Upper tones.
3 Press LAYER EDIT so it lights.

unlight it.
