Overview of the RS-70
About memory
Patch and performance settings are stored in what is referred to as
memory . There are three kinds of memory: temporary, rewritable,
and non-rewritable.
fig.r01-05.e
An image of all data stored in the user area can be stored by the
RS-70 on a floppy disk in a single file with an extension of
“.RSU” (p. 120). If you load the saved “.RSU” file back into the
RS-70, all settings of the entire RS-70 will return to the state they
were in when the file was saved. You may wish to keep files of
this type on separate floppy disks for different situations, such as
various types of live performances.
Temporary memory
Temporary area
This is the area that holds the data for the patch or the like that
you’ve selected using the panel buttons.
When you play the keyboard or play back a sequence, sound is
produced based on data in the temporary area. When you edit a
patch, you do not directly modify the data in memory; rather, you
call up the data into the temporary area, and edit it there.
Settings in the temporary area are temporary, and will be lost when
the power is turned off or when you select another setting. To keep
the settings you have modified, you must write them into rewritable
memory.
Rewritable memory
System memory
System memory stores system parameter settings that determine
how the RS-70 functions.
User memory
User memory is where you normally store the data you need. USER
memory contains 128 patches, 16 rhythm sets, 256 patterns at the
maximum, and 99 songs at the maximum.
Disk (Optional: 3.5” 2DD, 2HD)
You can use a disk to store data that has been saved to user memory
(including system settings such as chord memory, arpeggio user
templates, and arpeggio styles) (p. 119). Patterns you create can be
stored on a disk as SMF data, so that they can be used on your
computer (p. 121).
Non-rewritable memory
Preset memory
Data in Preset memory cannot be rewritten. However, you can call
up settings from preset memory into the temporary area, modify
them and then store the modified data in rewritable memory.
