Roland RD-700GX Owner's Manual page 10

Perform with the classic E.piano sounds of the past
The RD-700GX features a SuperNatural E. Piano (electric piano) sound generator that faithfully
reproduces the tonal character of E.Pianos from the '60s through '80s.
A wide variety of E. Piano sounds are available for immediate selection and performance.
This sound generator simulates not only the sound-generating portion of these classic instruments,
but also the characteristics of their amp, speakers, and tremolo.
You can also vary the E. Piano sound by changing the effect or amp type to create E.Piano sounds
that have never been heard before.
* What's SuperNATURAL?
SuperNATURAL is Roland's breakthrough sound-generating technology that enables a
new level of realism and expression. SuperNATURAL reproduces the delicate, organic
tonal changes and playing nuances of acoustic and electric musical instruments.
Here are some more things you can do
Play back audio data while you perform
While you perform, you can play back audio such as WAV/AIFF/MP3 data saved on
USB memory, or connect a commercially available CD-ROM drive and play back music CDs.
The "Audio Key" function lets you switch to prepared audio files whenever you want during
a performance, giving you additional possibilities when performing on stage.
Apply effects to the sound, add sounds, or control external devices
In addition to selecting and playing sounds, you can also vary your sound by using a wide
range of effects. You can also install separately sold expansion boards to widen your selection
of sounds.
Since the RD-700GX lets you simultaneously use up to three MIDI OUT ports, you can use it
as a master keyboard, taking advantage of its sliders or connected pedals.
