6.6Exclusive System

* The RD-70 can store a set of MIDI exclusive system MIDI messages. The
maximum size of the messages is about 890 Kbytes
* The messages, which will contain set-up data for the devices connected,
can be stored by the RD-70 and assigned to the SONG < and > and TEMPO <
and > buttons.
* We will consequently have four exclusive message strings at our disposal,
which can be accessed at any time and easily transmitted to the connected
machines
* Proceed as follows :
1) Send the string of data to be stored to the MIDI-IN connector of the RD-70,
recording it as though it were a normal song.
2) Select the song that has just been recorded with the song < and > buttons
3) While holding STOP, press ENTER and one of the TEMPO or SONG buttons (
where the string is to be stored ). The display ask 'Sur' ( "Are you sure?" ).
4) Press REC to confirm .
* If the message "PFL" appears when you try to confirm, it means that you are
trying to store too much data.
Reduce the quantity and repeat the oprations.
* Stored data can be transmitted as follows:
1) In stop status, hold the STOP button and press the button where the
exclusive system data that you want to transmit has been saved ( the display
ask 'Sur', "Are you sure? ")
2) Press REC to confirm or STOP to cancel operation.
* If the 'NPC' ( "No PaCket" ) error is displayed, it means that no data has been
assigned to that button
* It is also possible to automatically transmit a Midi Packet every time that the
machine is turned on
1) In stop status, hold the ENTER button and press REW.
2) Use the REW and FF buttons to select the storage location where the RD-70
must search for the data to be transmitted considering that:

TEMPO < is location Pc3
TEMPO > is location Pc4
OFF = automatic transmission function disabled
3) Press ENTER to confirm the function that is to be automatically performed
the next time that the RD- 70 is turned on.
