Button
When the [MIDI] button is lit, you can use the Layer switch and Layer LEVEL sliders to control the EXTERNAL Layer in the same way as with the Layer (p.
21).
Layer Switch
This specifi es whether MIDI data including the notes you play on the keyboard in the EXTERNAL layer will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector
if the [MIDI] button is lit.
When the Layer switch indicator for a Layer is lit (on), MIDI messages are transmitted from MIDI OUT connector when the keys for that Layer are played.
When the Layer switch indicator for a Layer is not lighted (off ), MIDI messages are not transmitted from MIDI OUT connector even when the keys for
that part are played.
Layer switch will turn on or off each time you press it.
Layer LEVEL Slider
If the [MIDI] button is lit, these sliders adjust the volume of the EXTERNAL layers.
Selecting the MIDI Connector to Use for Output
The RD-700NX provides two MIDI OUT connectors, a MIDI connector whose function can be switched between OUT and THRU, and a USB MIDI
connector.
For each layer you can select the MIDI OUT connector or USB MIDI connector from which its data is to be transmitted.
