6.1MIDI UPDATE Function

6.1MIDI UPDATE Function
* This function enables the RD-70 to correctly resume playback from the
middle of a song.
* The function works by intercepting any PROGRAM CHANGES, CONTROL
CHANGES, etc. that may have been skipped by starting playback at a later
stage of the song.
* If messages of this kind have been skipped, they will immediately be re-
transmitted to ensure correct playback pitch and dynamics.
* To turn this function on or off:
1) Press ENTER and FF.
2) Select ON/OFF by pressing REW or FF.
3) Press ENTER to confirm.

6.2SOFT THRU Function

* The SOFT THRU function transforms the MIDI OUT connector into a MIDI
OUT/THRU connector so that, as well as transmitting data generated by the
RD-70, it can also re-transmit messages from an external MIDI device received
at MIDI IN.
* This function can be extremely useful in certain cases as it allows the RD-70
to be incorporated into complex MIDI systems, while in others it may cause
problems as in certain types of connection it can produce "data loops" which
create errors in the machine's control of the MIDI code.
For this reason the function can be turned off as follows:
1) While holding ENTER, press SONG < (current status of the function will be
displayed - ON/OFF).
2) Change status by pressing FF or REW.
3) Press ENTER to confirm.
6.3Synchronization
* This function enables the RD-70 to synchronize with any MIDI device
capable of receiving/transmitting MIDI CLOCK signals.
* While holding ENTER button press TEMPO <. Now we have four options can
be selected with REW and FF buttons:
1) "Aut" (automatic): the RD-70 will normally use its own internal clock, but if
it receives MIDI START and MIDI CLOCK messages from an external MIDI
device it will automatically synchronize with them.
2) "int" (internal): the RD-70 will only use its own internal clock. External
synchronization messages will be ignored.
3) "in" (MIDI): the RD-70 will use only the MIDI CLOCK signal received at the
MIDI IN port.
4) "rEt" (remote): the RD-70 will use its own internal clock, but START and
STOP can be controlled from an external MIDI device.
* Press ENTER to confirm or STOP to cancel
