Basic Operation
Basic operation of the RS-70
Switching the mode
The RS-70 has numerous functions, and these functions are
organized into the following four modes. The operation of the sound
generator and the screens that appear in the display will differ
depending on the mode.
Patch mode
You will use this mode when you want to play the keyboard in a
band or a solo performance.
When you turn on the power, the RS-70 will start up in Patch mode.
From other modes, you can press [PATCH] to enter this mode.
All of the three built-in effects processors are used only for the patch
you are playing.
In Patch mode you can select and edit patches, and create user
patches.

Pattern mode
In this mode, you can simultaneously play different sounds on up to
sixteen parts. You can use the Quick Sequencer function to select and
play patterns (p. 51), or create your own patterns. After turning on
the power, press [PATTERN] to select this mode. The three built-in
effects processors are used in common by the patches of each part.
You can create up to 256 user patterns.

Use Pattern mode if you are using the RS-70 as a multitimbral
sound module connected to an external device, such as a
computer.
Song mode
In this mode, you can create a song by connecting two or more
patterns in the order of playback.
In one song, you can register up to 50 patterns.
After turning on the power, press [SONG] to select this mode.
In Song mode you can select, play, and create songs.

SMF Player mode
In this mode, SMF (Standard MIDI File) format music data can be
read directly from a floppy disk and played back.
You can use General MIDI/General MIDI 2 compatible music data
in this mode to enjoy
minus-one performance — listening to a
musical accompaniment with the melody part muted, and playing
the melody yourself.
You can select this mode by holding down [SHIFT] and pressing
[TAP TEMPO] (p. 47).

Editing parameters
On the RS-70, the numerous parameters are organized into pages so
that they can be displayed efficiently within the display. To select a
parameter, move to the appropriate page. The underlined area
(
cursor ) in the screen will blink to indicate that you may edit that
value.

Basic procedure
The basic procedure for editing a parameter is to use PAGE/
CURSOR [ ]/[ ] to move between pages, and use VALUE [-]/
[+] to modify the value in the page.
fig.r02-06
In cases where there are numerous pages, pages of related content
are organized into
groups . When editing such parameters, you can
hold down [SHIFT] and use PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] to jump to
the previous or next group.
When using PAGE/CURSOR [ ]/[ ] or VALUE [-]/[+], you
can make the value change more rapidly by holding down one
button while you press the other button. Or, if you hold down
[SHIFT] while using these buttons, the value will change in
larger steps, or you can move between sound category groups
(p. 68).
Executing a command
If [ENT] is indicated in the upper right of the display, you can
execute the command you have selected by pressing [ENTER].
