Rhythms louder than keys on RS-50

Post by melaniecwebb »

I want to play keys whilst also having a rhythm playing in the background (by using the rhythm guide button) but the rhythm is so loud that it drowns out my actual key playing. How can I rectify this?

Dear Melanie,
Indeed, by default the rhythm is too loud, in this further, I think, underrated synth.
If needed I will make photo's of the knobs lit and the display, but hopefully the explanation below will do.
Your are playing in performance mode.

Following knobs are "lit"(and therefor pressed):
In mode section:
"Perform"
"Part Select"

In edit section:
"Param"

Rhythm Guide

In other words, you havea perfromance with rythm guidance playing

The Param knob is important and pressed at last.
Next to the display, you press the "Page/<Cursor>" buttons until the display shows:
PERFORM:PART1
Level: 100

Increase Level with the "- LEVEL +" buttons up to 127

For each part in a performance, you'll notice that none of them are set to 127, which most of the time is needed to have a nice balance between the part(s) and the rhythm section.

Hope this helps

With kind regards, Wim
