Switching The Pedal's Polarity (Damper/Fc1/Fc2 Polarity); Selecting The Indicator Mode (Indicator Off Mode); Selecting The Number Of Parts (Part Mode); Setting The Tuning Method (Temperament/Key) - Roland RD-700GX Owner's Manual

Switching the Pedal's Polarity
(Damper/FC1/FC2 Polarity)
Switch the polarity of pedals connected to the RD-700GX.
This can be set individually for each of the Pedal jacks on the
rear panel (FC1, FC2, DAMPER).
On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal
when it is pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals.
If your pedal has an effect opposite of what you expect, set
this parameter to reverse.
If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch),
set this parameter to STANDARD.

Selecting the Indicator Mode
(Indicator Off Mode)
This specifies how the indicators will appear when off.
Parameter Value
NORMAL
Indicator Off
DIMLY
Value
STND (STANDARD),
REV (REVERSE)
Description
The indicator will be lit
if a function is on, and
will be extinguished if it
is off.
The indicator will be
dimly lit when the
function is off.
This will help you find
the location of the
buttons even on a
dimly lit stage.

Selecting the Number of Parts
(Part Mode)
This selects the number of parts for the RD-700GX.
When set to "16PART+PERF," the performance on the
keyboard is not affected by MIDI messages from the MIDI IN
connector or song data played by the RD-700GX. This is
useful when you want to perform on the keyboard while
playing song data with the RD-700GX.
If you select "16PART," the keyboard part you yourself play
can use the same part as the song data, meaning that you can
specify program changes or bank selections within the song
data so that the tone of the keyboard part will be switched
automatically.

Setting the Tuning Method
(Temperament/Key)
This sets the tuning and keynote (tonic).
Most modern songs are composed and played with the
assumption that equal temperament will be used, but when
classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of
other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with
its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords
that the composer originally intended.
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you
need to specify the keynote for tuning the song to be
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major
key or to A for a minor key).
If you choose an equal temperament, there's no need to select
a keynote.
Parameter Value

JUST MAJ
Value
16PART,
16PART+PERF (Performance)
Description
Equal Temperament
This tuning divides an octave
into 12 equal parts. Every
interval produces about the
same amount of slight
dissonance.
Just (Major)
This scale eliminates
dissonance in fifths and thirds.
It is unsuited to playing
melodies and cannot be
transposed, but is capable of
beautiful sonorities.
