Stunning Sounds
With Roland’s most powerful processing engine at its core, the RD-700SX
provides two complete 88-note world-class concert grand pianos, each
with individual multisamples for every key, and recorded at a variety
of velocity levels. The RD-700SX also contains authentic electric piano
and virtual tonewheel organ instruments, as well as an entire
GM2-compatible sound set. Load and Play Standard MIDI files with the
built-in MIDI File player. Onboard Rhythm and Arpeggiator functions are
provided as well.
Progressive Hammer-Action KeyboardThe
RD-700SX is equipped with Roland’s top-of-the-line Progressive
Hammer-Action Keyboard, which provides heavy-to-light response as you
climb from low to high octaves, just like a real piano. Combined with a
true hammer-action mechanism, the keyboard offers an incredibly natural
response that feels and plays like a true grand.
Instant AccessWith
its front-panel sliders, large buttons, and backlit LCD, the RD-700SX
is a fast and friendly instrument to pilot, especially for live
performers who need instant, fumble-free access to sounds. The
one-touch PIANO and E.PIANO buttons let you recall your favorite
instrument sounds and edits — such as changes to the piano's String
Resonance and Key Touch, or the E.Piano's Amp type. You can also switch
entire groups of settings during a performance by selecting a Setup
that you've edited and stored in advance; up to 100 Setups can be
stored and instantly recalled.
Onboard EffectsTransform
your sound with the RD-700SX’s powerful twin multi-effects engines
onboard. Among the many high-quality effects types are reverb, chorus,
Sound Control (3-band compressor), and dedicated 3-band parametric EQ
with adjustable frequency, Q, and gain for achieving the perfect
custom-tailored sound. Dedicated knobs, buttons, and the large
graphical display allow intuitive sound control.
Well ConnectedThe
RD-700SX is fully equipped for the gigging professional. Both 1/4" and
XLR outputs provide compatibility with all popular types of mixers and
amplification systems. And for the utmost in performance expression,
the RD-700SX offers inputs for damper pedals and two-function
assignable foot pedals. Use the tandem MIDI outs and USB I/O for MIDI
control and data backup/exchange. The RD-700SX’s customizable Master
Control features allow it to serve as the master for other MIDI
instruments. And for audio/visual-minded musicians who want to “play”
graphics (via Edirol video equipment), the RD-700SX is V-LINK
compatible.
Sound Expansion
The RD-700SX offers an impressive 474 internal tones and 14 rhythm
kits, which can be expanded by adding two optional Roland SRX boards.
Choose from an impressive lineup of SRX titles, including Complete
Orchestra, Big Brass Ensemble, World Collection, Platinum Trax, and
more.
