Setup: saving and recalling your EDIT settings
The RD-170 contains 16 Setup memories where you can save your configurations for quick recall on stage, in the
studio, etc. If you are planning to take the RD-170 on the road (or if you need more than 16 Setups), be sure to
archive the contents of these memories via MIDI (see p. 32).
Saving your settings
Here’s how to save all settings discussed in this
chapter along with the remaining part parame-
ters you can set via the front panel (velocity,
Reverb status, etc.).
Note that you need to save your settings before
switching on
[SETUP]
or switching off the
RD-170. Otherwise, your changes are lost.
(1) Press the
[WRITE]
button.
The
[SETUP]
button as well as all numeric but-
tons
[1]
~
[16]
(except the one that corresponds
to the last memory you selected) now flash in
orange. The display looks as follows:
(“12” refers to the number of the last Setup you
selected. This could be any other number
between “1” and “16”.)
(2) Press the numeric button that corresponds to
the memory where you would like to save
your settings (
[1]
~
[16]
).
The
[ENTER]
button flashes.
(3) Press the
[ENTER]
button to confirm your
selection.
Press
[EXIT]
(or
[WRITE]
) if you do not wish your
settings after all. The
[WRITE]
button goes dark.
Loading Setup memories
Here’s how to select one of your 16 Setups.
Please note that SETUP is a mode you select. It
remains active until you switch off the
[SETUP]
button or press the
[SYSTEM]
or
[EDIT]
button.
(1) Press the
[SETUP]
button.
The
[SETUP]
button lights and one of the
numeric buttons (probably
[1]
) flashes. If this is
the first time you’ve pressed
[SETUP]
since
switching on the RD-170, button
[1]
lights. Oth-
erwise, the numeric button of the last memory
you selected lights.
(2) Press the numeric button
[1]
~
[16]
that corre-
sponds to the Setup memory you wish to
recall. You can also use
[DEC÷NO]
/
[INC÷YES]
to
select the previous/next memory.
That button now lights in orange. If you con-
nected external MIDI instruments to the
RD-170, they carry out all changes contained in
your Setup memory (volume, Send levels, mem-
ory selection, etc.).
Note:
If you edit a parameter after recalling a memory,
the numeric button corresponding to that memory
starts flashing.
(3) Press
[SETUP]
again (it goes dark) to leave the
SETUP mode if you no longer need it.
The RD-170 will go on using the settings of the
recalled Setup until you change them.
Note:
When you switch on the RD-170, it starts up with
a default set outside the SETUP mode. For live perfor-
mances, do not forget to switch on
[SETUP]
and to select
the appropriate memory.

If you notice something you don’t like about
your Setup (Reverb on the Lower part, for
example), you can press and hold
[LOWER]
(or
[UPPER]
to change a setting for the Upper
part).
Now all applicable buttons (TONE SELECT,
[REVERB]
,
[CHORUS]
) flash in green (or red, if
you’re holding down
[UPPER]
). Keep holding
[LOWER]
while switching
[REVERB]
on or off,
for example, then let go of the
[LOWER]
but-
ton. You can also select other sounds using
this system. (This also works for the
[UPPER]
button.)
