Making Detailed Settings for
the E. Piano Tones
(E. Piano Designer)
The RD-700GX contains a SuperNATURAL E. Piano sound
generator.
The SuperNATURAL E. Piano sound generator is Roland's
completely new sound generator, which faithfully models the
varieties and characteristics of the vintage electric pianos of
the '60s through the '80s. It is not limited to typical E. piano
modeling, but also provides completely new types of E. piano
sound.
Unlike the parameters of a conventional synthesizer, this
allows you to create a variety of sounds in the way that a
specialized engineer or tuner could do. For example, you can
easily change the position of the pickups, or exchange
components of the sound-generating system.
When ONE TOUCH [E. PIANO] is pressed, all
settings other than the E. Piano Designer settings
are switched to their status at the time the RD-
