Playing Drums Manually on RD700NX

Post by thomasmatthewdexter »

Hello, I'm new to the forum and have recently purchased a Roland RD700NX stage piano. Would anyone know whether or not it's possible to play drum/percussion sounds manually on this piano? I've gone through all the patches and was expecting to find one where the entire keyboard makes percussion sounds like I've seen on other roland models - however I cannot find one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Tom.

My guess is that you just checked the live sets. There are however many more patches deep inside this machine. If you press the layer edit button you can call up many more patches well beyond the live sets. The drum patches start at 943 and go up from there.
