Roland RD700sx to Ketron SD2 advice.

Post by Denv12 »

I have the following equipment at home:
Roland RD700SX stage piano on Roland V stand
Roland SRX12 expansion board Classic Ep.
Roland KC360 amp.
Tascam DP03 8 track digital recorder.
Ketron SD2 sound module.

I have just bought the Ketron SD2 sound module and so far its connected up to the RD700SX.
It has a midi cable from the SD2 module midi in to RD700SX midi out1.
It also has a dual RCA lead from SD2 to amp.Thats new to me.I wasnt familiar with that before.
The SD2 doesnt have a Midi Out.It just has a midi thru.

My problem is getting the RD to play all the sounds from the SD2.There are 3 chapters in the RD700SX handbook.I can get the RD screen to show external zone.I can get the screen to display what the diagram shows on page 61 of the handbook.After that the handbook gets confusing.I cant get any sounds off the module.

Here are 2 links:
1 for the Ketron SD2:
Scroll down until you get to the English language page.The list of sounds are at the back of the book.

I have contacted Roland here in Australia.

I really need some advice please.

Thanks.
