Overview of the RS-70
Overview
Effects
Effects let you apply a variety of special effects to patches or rhythm
sets. You can use three effects simultaneously: chorus (which adds
depth and spaciousness), reverb (which adds reverberation), multi-
effects (each selectable from 47 types such as equalizer, overdrive,
and delay).
Sequencer
A sequencer is a device that records musical performance data, and
can play back the performance data that was recorded.
The RS-70 is a sequencer that plays back patterns and adds changes
to the playback method. This type of sequencer is referred to as a
pattern sequencer .
Part
A part corresponds to a single musician in a band or orchestra. Since
the RS-70 has sixteen parts, you can use sixteen different patches or
rhythm sets to play as many as sixteen performances
simultaneously.
Current part
The “current part” is the part that will sound when you play the
keyboard; this is the part that your recording and editing will affect.
The RS-70 has a total of sixteen parts. For details on how to switch
the current part, refer to
“Selecting a part” (p. 54).
Pattern
A pattern is 1–998 measures of performance data consisting of
sounds (patches or rhythm sets) for up to 16 parts.

Song
Two or more patterns connected in the order of playback are called a
song.
In one song, you can register up to 50 patterns in the desired order of
playback.
Number of voices
Maximum polyphony
The sound generator of the RS-70 can produce up to 64 notes (voices)
simultaneously. If data is received that attempts to play more than
this number of voices, notes will be dropped out. When the number
of requested voices exceeds 64, the RS-70 will give priority to the
later-played notes, and will consecutively turn off the sounding
notes. An appropriate Voice Reserve setting should be made with
respect to any Parts that you cannot do without (p. 79).
Some Tones use more than two voices to create a single Tone.
For the number of voices used by each Tone, refer to
“Original
Tone List” (p. 169).
