Creating and Editing Songs
You can’t edit music CD songs or audio/MP3 format songs.
“Multitrack Recording” refers to the process whereby you listen to
the playback of parts that have already been recorded while you
play the music for another part you are recording, thus adding
material to the previous recording.
The RM-700 is capable of multitrack recording of up to sixteen parts.
Since each part’s performance is recorded using one tone, you can
layer performances, using up to sixteen tones for the data in one
song. The function used to layer these sixteen parts, one at a time, is
called the “16-Track Sequencer.”
16-Track Sequencer and Track Buttons
In addition to the “16-Track Sequencer” function, the “Track
Buttons” (p. 116) are another of the unit’s playing/recording
functions.
These three “Track buttons” are used for organizing the 16-Track
Sequencer’s sixteen parts. This allows you to use the 16-Track
Sequencer to add more sounds to performances recorded with the
Track buttons, and make even more detailed edits of the songs.
You can easily play back the original song data with the 16-Track
Sequencer, mute parts by pressing the Track buttons, and more.
The Track buttons correspond to 16-track sequencer parts as shown
below.
Since the 16-Track Sequencer records one tone to one part, you
cannot use Layer performance (p. 38), Split performance (p. 39), or
other such functions to record two or more tones simultaneously.
Also, you can’t record the performance with Automatic
Accompaniment.
When you want to record with Automatic Accompaniment, then
you should use the Track buttons for recording. (Refer to “Recording
With Accompaniment” (p. 127, p. 138)
Commercially Available Music Files
Commercially available song file recorded in Roland’s SMF format is
also composed of sixteen parts.
By loading the song file from the external memory and using the 16-
Track Sequencer, you can then also edit the song file.
With some commercially available music files, you cannot edit
the data.

Sequencer screen.
