Using an external MIDI controller to
change the RS-70's tones
Use of the Modulation lever, pedals, and control knobs to make
changes to the RS-70's tones in real time is explained in "Settings
related to controllers (CONTROLLER)" (p. 126).
Transmitting Controller numbers set with Modulation Assign (p.
126), Pedal Control Assign (p. 126), and Knob Assign (p. 126) to the
RS-70 achieves the same effect as working the Modulation lever,
pedals, and knobs.
Recording to an external
sequencer
Now, try using an external sequencer to record your music onto
multiple tracks, and then play back the recorded performance.

1. Before starting the connection procedure, make sure that
the power to all devices has been turned off.
2. After reading "Connecting the RS-70 to external equipment"
(p. 17), connect an audio device/system or headphones.
3. Connect the external MIDI sound device with a MIDI cable as
shown in the figure below.
4. As described in "Turning on the power" (p. 18), turn on the
power of each device.

Making settings before recording
When recording to an external sequencer, the following steps must
be carried out.
•
Set the RS-70's Local Control to OFF (refer to the next section).
•
Turn on the external sequencer's Thru function (p. 134).
•
Set the pattern (p. 134).
Setting the RS-70's local control to OFF
The setting that determines whether the keyboard controller section
(p. 50) and sound generator section are separated is referred to as
"Local Control."
When Local Control is on, playing the keyboard will produce sound,
and moving the pitch bend lever will control the pitch.
When Local Control is off, playing the keyboard will not produce
sound, and moving the pitch bend lever will not control pitch. The
sound generator of the RS-70 will produce sound only in response to
messages received from an external MIDI device.

RS-70
The performance data from the RS-70's keyboard controller section
is output from the MIDI OUT connector and recorded by the
sequencer. This performance data is then also output back to the RS-
70 from the sequencer's MIDI OUT connector and played by the RS-
70's sound generator.
If Local Control were ON, each note would be played twice; once by
the music data from the keyboard controller section, and once again
by the data sent from the sequencer. In order to prevent such double
triggering, the Local Control setting is turned off to separate the
keyboard controller section from the sound generating section.
* If your sequencer does not have a Thru function, set the RS-70's Local
Control to ON.
