Species the maximum velocity when you play a key. With a low value of this setting, the volume will not become very loud even if you play a key strongly.

Species how the volume responds to the key velocity.

Scene Parameter

EXTERNAL

External MIDI device settings for each zone.

Parameter Value Explanation

Normally, you’ll use this value. The same MIDI messages are transmitted to the RD-88’s internal sound engine and to an external MIDI device. Tone selection and switching messages (bank select and program change) will be the settings of the tone selected for that zone.

MEMO

If Tx Mode is ON, the settings of the [INTERNAL] tab are enabled, and the settings of the [EXTERNAL] tab are ignored. If you want to enable the parameters of the [EXTERNAL] tab and control an external device, set Tx Mode to “EXT.”

Use this setting if you want a specic zone to not transmit MIDI messages to an external MIDI device. Use the INT setting if you want to play only the internal sounds of the RD-88.

Choose this setting if you’re using the RD-88 as a master keyboard to control an external MIDI device.

Species the connector that transmits control messages.

If this is “ALL,” messages are transmitted both from the MIDI OUT connector and the USB port.

settings are specied by the settings of the scene (SCENE) or by the system settings (SYS).

Species a light keyboard touch response. Since you can produce fortissimo () using an even lighter touch than with the MEDIUM setting, this feels as though the keyboard is lighter. This setting is easy to play even by those whose hands have less strength.

Species the standard keyboard touch response. This allows playing with the most natural touch. This is closest to the touch of an acoustic piano.

Species a heavy keyboard touch response. Since producing fortissimo () requires you to play with a stronger touch than with the MEDIUM setting, this feels as though the keyboard is heavier. This setting allows even greater expressiveness when you play dynamically.

Finely adjusts the keyboard touch response in greater detail than the Velocity Curve setting. This lets you specify detailed settings between the various Velocity Curve values. Higher values make the touch feel heavier.

If this value exceeds the upper or lower limit, the Velocity Curve also switches automatically between its ve values as appropriate.

The volume and character of the sound responds to your keyboard playing dynamics.

The volume and character of the sound remains xed regardless of your keyboard playing dynamics.

Species the delay from the moment you press the key until the sound is heard.

Negative values delay the timing at which the sound is heard when you press the key strongly. Positive values delay the timing at which the sound is heard when you press the key softly.

Species how keyboard touch is aected by the keyboard range.

With higher values, the keyboard feels heavier as you play upward and lighter as you play downward.

Note-o occurs at the same key depth as a conventional piano.

Note-o occurs at a deeper key depth. This is appropriate for sounds such as electric piano.

ZONE SOUND

TONE COLOR

Parameter Value Explanation

Lets you adjust EQ with a single knob. Turning the knob toward the left boosts the mid-frequency range, and turning the knob toward the right boosts the high- and lowfrequency ranges. By adjusting this appropriately for the conditions of your performance, you can make the sound easier to hear.

If the sound is being output in stereo, turning the knob toward the left gradually changes the output to mono, and turning the knob toward the right gradually changes to stereo. Depending on the conditions of your performance, mono output might be easier to hear.

monophonically, or “POLY” if you want it to play polyphonically. Choose “TONE” if you want to use the setting of the tone.

When playing monophonically, you can apply legato. “Legato” is a playing technique in which notes are played smoothly without a break between them. This produces an eect similar to the guitar technique of hammering-on and pulling-o. Choose “ON” to apply legato, or “OFF” if you don’t want to apply legato. Choose “TONE” if you want to use the setting of the tone.

Species whether portamento is applied. Choose “ON” if you want to apply portamento, or “OFF” if you don’t want to apply portamento. Choose “TONE” if you want to use the setting of the tone.

Species the time over which the pitch changes when applying portamento. With higher values, the pitch change to the next note takes longer. Choose “TONE” if you want to use the setting of the tone.

This function layers a single sound. Choose “ON” if you want to apply unison, or “OFF” if not. Choose “TONE” if you want to use the setting of the tone.

For each zone, selects one of four velocity curves suitable for the keyboard touch of your MIDI keyboard. If you want to play the sounds using the velocity curve of this unit’s keyboard, choose “OFF.”

Adjusts the openness of the lter. Higher values make the sound brighter, and lower values make it darker.

Boosts the sound in the region of the cuto frequency, giving it a distinctive character. Raising this value excessively might cause oscillation and distortion. Higher values produce a stronger character, and lower values produce a weaker character.

Adjusts the time from when the key is pressed until the attack is completed. Higher values make the attack more gradual, and lower values make the attack sharper.

Adjusts the time over which the volume decreases after the attack. Higher values lengthen this decay time, and lower values shorten it.

Adjusts the time from when the key is released until the sound diminishes to silence. Higher values lengthen this release time, and lower values produce a crisper sound.

Adjusts the vibrato rate (the speed at which the pitch is modulated). Higher values make pitch modulation faster, and lower values make it slower.

Adjusts the vibrato depth (the depth to which the pitch is modulated). Higher values make vibrato deeper, and lower values make it less deep.

Adjusts the time until the vibrato (pitch modulation) eect starts being applied. Higher values produce a longer delay until the eect is applied, and lower values produce a shorter delay.

Adjusts the velocity sensitivity. Higher values make the sensitivity greater.

Species whether scale tune is specied by the scene setting (SCENE) or by the system setting (SYS).

Custom: Allows you to specify a custom temperament.

Equal temperament: This temperament divides the octave into 12 equal parts. Slight inharmonicity is equally present in all intervals.

Just intonation (major): This temperament produces pure fths and thirds. It is not suitable for melodic playing and does not allow modulation to another key, but produces beautiful-sounding chords.

Just intonation (minor): Just intonation diers between major and minor. This produces the same eect as “Just intonation (major)” but for a minor key.

Pythagorean temperament: This is based on the theories of the philosopher Pythagoras, and eliminates inharmonicity in the fourth and fth. Third interval chords are imperfect, but melodies will sound good.

Kirnberger: This temperament improves meantone temperament and just intonation to allow greater freedom of modulation. It allows performance in all keys (Type III).

Meantone temperament: This temperament is a partial compromise of just intonation that allows modulation.

Werckmeister: This temperament combines meantone temperament and Pythagorean temperament. It allows performance in all keys (Werckmeister I (III)).

Arabic temperament: This temperament is suitable for Arabic music.

SCENE EFFECTS

SYMPATHETIC RESO

These parameters adjust the resonance (sympathetic resonance) that occurs when you hold down the damper pedal. On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal allows strings other than those that you play to resonate sympathetically with the played strings, creating a richly expansive resonance. This eect simulates that behavior.
