2. RS7000 Internal Structure (063 004 Cls&Wind: Classic string and wind instruments. (063 005 Eth&Perc: Ethnic and percussion instruments. (063 006 SFX1: Sound effect bank 1. (063 009 SFX2: Sound effect bank 2. • (MSB LSB) = (126 000) contains the RS7000 drum voices - all up-to-date and a perfect match for today's music. • (MSB LSB) = (127 000) is the GM drum voice bank containing a single standard GM drum kit voice. • (MSB LSB) = (064 000) ~ (064 001) are the sample voice banks. The sample voices are organized into local sample voices and common sample voices. (064 000 Local Sample Voices: All 128 voices in the bank are switched when the song or style is switched. (064 001 Common Sample Voices: The voices remain the same when the song or style is switched. NOTE *GM is a standard which assigns the same voices to the same voices numbers so that MIDI data will sound the same when played on any GM-compatible equipment. The RS7000 GM voice bank (000 000) and GM drum voice bank (127 000) have been provided to allow playback of GM data, but do not fully conform to the GM standard. G Maximum Polyphony The RS7000 can play up to 62 notes simultaneously. If performance data which plays a greater number of notes is received some notes will be cut off. Be careful that the maximum polyphony is not exceeded, especially when using many notes with a slow decay or release time. Furthermore, the maximum polyphony applies to the number of voice elements used, not the number of voices. The normal voices include both 1-element and 2-element voices, so the maximum number of simultaneous notes may be less than 62. Refer to the voice list (Page 291) for a complete listing of the number of elements used by each voice. Sample voices use 1 element, but stereo samples use 2. Controllers This block includes all controllers which control the sequencer and tone generator blocks: the keyboard, the assignable knobs, sequencer buttons, etc. Performance data played on the keyboard is sent to the sequencer and tone generator in the form of MIDI data, and the sequencer buttons control pattern or song playback. G The Keyboard In addition to sending performance (note) data to the sequencer and tone generator blocks, the RS7000 keyboard can be used in conjunction with the [KEYBOARD], [TRACK SELECT], [MUTE] and [TRANSPOSE] buttons for section switching, track selection, muting, transposition, and more. G Assignable Knobs The assignable knobs can be used for real-time control of play effects, voice parameters, and mixer parameters, allowing handson creative control over the sound in real time. In addition to the functions listed on the panel, other functions can be assigned which are memorized and automatically recalled with each style or song. G The Velocity Pads These velocity-sensitive pads are convenient for performance data entry. Tapping these pads enters the pre-specified note data at the specified pitch. The pitch for each pad can be set by pressing [PAD 1] or [PAD 2] while holding the [TAP] button and the appropriate key on the keyboard. G Scene/Mute Memory Up to 5 complete scene and mute setups for each song and style can stored in memory and recalled whenever needed. A "scene" includes all parameter settings for all tracks (all mixer, voice edit, mute on/off, groove, play effect, MIDI delay, BPM and transpose settings). A mute setup includes the mute on/off status for all tracks. The ability to store and instantly recall complete scene and mute setups means that even complex setups that would take a considerable amount of time to program in real time can be called up at the touch of a button. Recall operations can be recorded to pattern chains and songs as well. The [SCENE/MUTE] button switches between the scene and mute memory functions. The SCENE and MUTE indicators light alternately each time the button is pressed. 62 RS7000
