Using the RD-300NX as a Master Keyboard
Adjusting the Volume and Pan (Volume/Pan)
Sets the volume and the panning (localizes sound image) for each of
the Tones.
The Volume setting is mainly used when multiple tones are playing to
obtain the desired balance in volume between each layer.
The Pan setting positions the sound image of each layer when the
output is in stereo. With an increase in the value for L, more of the
sound will be heard as coming from the left side.
Similarly, more of the sound will originate at the right if the value of
R is increased. When set to 0, the sound is heard as coming from the
center.
Parameter TX CC# Value
VOL (Volume) CC07 - - - (OFF), 0–127
PAN (Pan) CC10 L64–0–63R, - - - (OFF)
Setting the Amount of Reverb and Chorus
(Reverb/Chorus)
This sets the depth of the reverb and chorus effects.
Parameter TX CC# Value
REV (Reverb) CC91
- - - (OFF), 0–127
CHO (Chorus) CC93
Playing Sound Monophonically (Mono/Poly)
Specifies whether the tone will play polyphonically (Poly) or
monophonically (Mono).
The Mono setting is effective when playing a solo instrument tone
such as sax or flute.
Parameter Value
M/P (Mono/Poly)
- - - (OFF),
M (Mono, CC126),

Setting the Transposition for Each Individual
Layer (Transpose)
You can perform with each layer transposed to a different pitch.
When multiple layers are set to on, you can create a richer sound by
setting the two Tones to different octaves. Also, if the Keyboard Mode
is set to Split (p. 28) and you are playing a bass Tone in the lower Part,
you can use the Transpose function to play the bass at a lower pitch.
Parameter Value
TRA (Transpose)
-48 – 0 –+48
Setting the Key Range for Each Layer (Key
Range)
Set the keyboard range in which each Layer will sound.
This can be used to make notes in different areas of the keyboard play
different Tones.
Specify the lower limit (LWR) and upper limit (UPR) of the key range
being set.
You can also set this by pressing a specific key and then pressing the
[ENTER] button.
Parameter Value
LWR (Key Range Lower)
A0–C8
UPR (Key Range Upper)
NOTE
•
This is effective only when the [SPLIT] button is on (p. 28) in the key
range settings.
•
You cannot set the key range’s lower limit higher than the upper
limit, nor can you set the upper limit below the lower limit.
MEMO
• “FUL” is displayed when the [SPLIT] button is set to OFF. In this case,
the [SPLIT] button is automatically switched on when the value
is changed to something other than “FUL” with the [DEC] [INC]
buttons.
• You can use Layer switch for each individual layer to select whether
or not MIDI Note messages for that layer are to be transmitted (p. 52).

If you press the [DEC] button and [INC] button simultaneously, the value will be reset to “- - -” (OFF) or to the default setting. The value for the setting
won’t be transmitted when set to “- - -” (OFF).
