Cannot use my RD700GX as slave

Post by tabatha81 »

Hi there guys, maybe you can help me. Under Nuendo, i have a midi track that i want to be played by the RD700, i've tried many things and i can't do it. When i press "play" in th sequencer it sounds like GM piano coming from the RD, but not the "expressive" or the "superior grand". I'm very sure it's very simple, but i don't know what else to do. Thanks so much!

I don't know about the GX, but the NX has a setting called "Part mode" that controls this behavior.

I dont think that parameter exists on the GX, torhus. Tabatha81, is your sequencer sending patch change information that might be telling the RD which patch to play on that channel?

I just checked, it's on page 111 in the GX manual.

I looked for that, torhus, but couldn't find it. I searched "16 part" in the PDF doc, not "16part". Sorry I doubted you. :)

So you can set it to 16part in which case the incoming midi stream will play the selected patch provided you are sending on the right midi channels. This requires you to set the patch up though. If you if you want your sequencer to select the correct piano part automatically though you will need to have it send the correct patch information as well, tabatha81.

Guys I have the same problem. Would there be anybody here who could help enlighten me on this.? When i try to render a Midi file using the RD internal sound as sound source, the board plays the GM grand Piano only. The sound does not change even after changing patches. Thanks in advance? I came accross this problem during a piano track recording using Sonar x2.

Did you apply the setting suggested by torhus on this thread? The setting that he referred us to is on page 111 in the manual.

Hi and thanks Howard. I tried to locate the same topic in my manual but sadly my manual for RD700nx is silent on this. It appears that Torhus was referring to RD700GX.

The NX definitely does it. I'm not home now but download the PDF manual and do a search 16part with any spaces. It should come up.

Hi HowardS.. Would editing the system from Part+perf to Part Multi solve the problem? Thanks!
