Overview of the RD-88
Basic Organization of the RD-88
RD-88 can be divided into two sections: a controller section and a sound generator section. Controller Section (controllers such as keyboard, modulation wheels, etc.) Sound Generator Section Play Controller Section This section includes the keyboard, the modulation wheels, the panel knobs, the sliders, and any pedal connected to the rear panel. Actions such as pressing and releasing of keys on the keyboard, depressing a damper pedal, and so forth, are converted to MIDI messages and sent to the sound generator section, or to an external MIDI device. Sound Generator Section The sound generator section produces the sound. Here, MIDI messages received from the controller section or external MIDI device are converted to musical signals, which are then output as analog signals from the OUTPUT and PHONES jacks.
About Scenes.
RD-88 lets you store the sounds that you create. A sound you create is called a “Scene”; you can use the buttons to recall a Scene and then play it. Scene Zone (UPPER 1) Zone (UPPER 2) Zone (UPPER 3) Rhythm Reverb Chorus Tone MFX EQ EQ EQ MFX MFX Tone Tone Tone Color Tone Color Tone Color Compressor Equalizer Resonance IFX/Sympathetic Zone The RD-88 features three parts (UPPER 1, UPPER 2, and LOWER) that you can use for freely controlling the internal parts with the RD-88’s buttons and keyboard. These three parts that are used for controlling the internal parts are collectively known as the “Zone.” Furthermore, you can freely control external MIDI sound generators with the RD-88 in the same manner as with the Zone. You can likewise control the external MIDI sound generator with the three parts (UPPER 1, UPPER 2, and LOWER), with this group of three parts being referred to as the “EXTERNAL Zone.” The external MIDI sound generator is assigned to these three parts for control. Tone The individual sounds used when playing the RD-88 are referred to as “Tones.” Tones are assigned to each zone. Rhythm Drum patterns for a variety of musical genres such as jazz and rock are built in. You can play back these patterns. Effects Each zone 1–3 provides a MFX, EQ, and Tone Color that can be set independently for each zone. There are also reverb, Chorus, and IFX/Sympathetic Resonance that can be used in common by all zones.

Parameter Value Explanation Source SCENE The key touch settings speci ed by theScene are enabled. SYS The key touch settings speci ed for the system are enabled. MEMO If you want the key touch to be the same for multiple Scenes, set Source to “SYS.” You can access the shared key touch settings via [MENU] 0 [SYSTEM] 0 [KEY TOUCH]. To save the settings, execute the system write operation (p. 27). If you’ve selected a Scene whose Source is set to “SYS,” you can press the [KEY TOUCH] button to access the SYSTEM Key Touch setting screen. Velo Crv (Velocity Curve) SPR LIGHT An even lighter setting than LIGHT. LIGHT This sets the keyboard to a light touch. You can achieve fortissimo (ff ) play with a less forceful touch than usual, so the keyboard feels lighter. This setting makes it easy to play, even for children. MEDIUM This sets the keyboard to the standard touch. You can play with the most natural touch. This is the closest to the touch of an acoustic piano. HEAVY This sets the keyboard to a heavy touch. You have to nger the keyboard more forcefully than usual in order to play fortissimo (ff ), so the keyboard touch feels heavier. Dynamic ngering adds even more feeling to what you play. SPR HEAVY An even heavier setting than HEAVY. Velo Offset (Velocity Offset) -10–+ This setting provides even more precise adjustment of the key touch than available with the Velocity Curve setting alone. This allows you to achieve a more precise setting for the Velocity Curve by specifying an intermediate value between Key Touch settings. The touch sensitivity becomes heavier as the value increases. When this parameter is set to a value that exceeds the upper or lower limit, the setting for Velocity Curve (one of ve possible values) is automatically changed to accommodate the value you’ve speci ed. Velocity REAL Volume levels and the way sounds areplayed change in response to the velocity. 1– The xed velocity value you specify here will determine the volume and the way the sound is produced, regardless of your keyboard playing strength. Velo Dly Sens (Velocity Delay Sensitivity) -63–+ This sets the interval from the time the key is played to when the sound is produced. As the value is decreased, the timing of the sound is delayed more when more force is used to play the keys. As the value is increased, the timing of the sound is delayed more when less force is used to play the keys. Velo Keyfollow (Velocity Keyfollow Sensitivity) -63–+ This setting changes the touch sensitivity according to the key range being used. As the value is increased, the touch becomes heavier in the upper registers, and lighter in the lower keys. KeyOff Pos (Key Off Position) STANDARD Note-off will occur at the depth of aconventional piano. DEEP Note-off will occur at a deeper position is suitable for electric piano sounds.
Performance
Transposing the Key of the Keyboard (TRANSPOSE)
(TRANSPOSE) You can transpose performances without changing the keys you are playing. This feature is called “Transpose.” This is a convenient feature to use when you want to match the pitch of the keyboard performance to a vocalist’s pitch, or perform using the printed music for trumpets or other transposed instruments. You can adjust the transpose setting in semitone steps over a range of -5–0–+6 relative to C4. The Transpose has been set at the factory to “0.” 1 2 3
- Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button for several seconds. The Transpose screen appears, and the current value of the setting is displayed.
- Hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press a key. If you press the C4 (middle C) key, the transpose amount will be set to “0.” For example, to have “E” sound when you play “C” on the keyboard, hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press the E key. The degree of transposition then becomes “+4.” When you release the [TRANSPOSE] button, the previous display will reappear. When the amount of transposition is set, the Transpose function switches on, and the [TRANSPOSE] button lights up. MEMO 5 You can also transpose by holding down the [TRANSPOSE] button and using the [DEC] [INC] buttons. 5 If you hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press F#4 or a higher key, the transpose amount is set to [+6]. 5 If you hold down the [TRANSPOSE] button and press G3 or a lower key, the transpose amount is set to [-5].
- To turn off Transpose, press the [TRANSPOSE] button so that its indicator goes off. The next time [TRANSPOSE] button is pressed, the sound is transposed by an amount corresponding to the value set here. NOTE 5 If the transpose amount is 0, the [TRANSPOSE] button will not turn on even if you press it. 5 When you turn the power off, the transpose amount returns to 0.
Adding Reverberation to the Sound (REVERB)
(REVERB) The RD-88 can apply a reverb effect to the notes you play on the keyboard. Applying reverb adds pleasing reverberation to what you play, so it sounds almost as if you were playing in a concert hall. 1
- Turn the [REVERB] knob. The depth of the reverb effect changes. You can adjust the reverb depth in a range of 0–127. MEMO You can select the type of reverb in the MENU screen 0 “SYSTEM EFFECTS” 0 “Sys Reverb” page. NOTE In the [MENU] 0 [SCENE EDIT] 0 [ZONE EDIT] 0 “INTERNAL” page, if the “Rev Send (reverb send)” value is set to “0,” no reverb effect is applied. Also, depending on the settings of the Scene, there might be cases in which turning the knob does not apply an effect. For details, refer to “Making Detailed Settings for Tones” (p. 23).
Performance
Adjusting the Character of the Sound (TONE COLOR).
(TONE COLOR) Turning the [TONE COLOR] knob will modify an aspect of the sound, such as its character or acoustic image. 1
- Turn the [TONE COLOR] knob. The effect assigned to the knob is applied. You can assign one or the other of the following effects to the [TONE COLOR] knob. Parameter Explanation Stereo Width If the sound is being output in stereo, turning the knob to the left gradually transforms the audio output to mono, and turning the knob to the right transforms it to stereo. Depending on your performing situation, the mono sound might be better for listening. EQ This lets you adjust the EQ using a single knob. Turning the knob to the left boosts the mid-frequency region, and turning the knob to the right boosts the high-frequency and low-frequency regions. Adjusting this appropriately for your performing situation might make the sound better for listening. MEMO The Tone Color assignment is speci ed in [MENU] 0 [SCENE EDIT] 0 [ZONE SOUND] 0 TONE COLOR. If you want to save the setting, save the Scene (p. 23).
Adding Breadth to the Sound (CHORUS/DELAY)
(MFX) In addition to chorus (p. 15) and reverb (p. 14), the RD-88 lets you apply a “multi-effect.” The multi-effect lets you choose from a variety of effect types including distortion and rotary. With the factory settings, an effect appropriate for each tone is assigned. 1
- Turn the [MFX] knob to adjust the effect. The multi-effect speci ed for the selected tone is applied. MEMO The effect is applied to the MFX of the currently selected zone. The value that changes when you turn the knob is pre-speci ed according to the type. For some effect types, it might be di cult to notice the effect. If the tone’s MFX setting is set to “Thru,” no effect is applied. MFX settings can also be speci ed for individual Scenes. For details, refer to “Parameter Guide” (PDF).
Performance
Adjusting the Levels of Each Frequency Range (EQUALIZER)
Range (EQUALIZER) The RD-88 is equipped with an equalizer. You can use the EQ [LOW] knob, [MID] knob, and [HIGH] knob to adjust the level of each frequency range. NOTE Equalization is applied to the overall sound output from the OUTPUT jacks.
- Press the [EQ ADJUST] button. 1 The button is lit, and the knob functions change as follows. 5 [TONE COLOR] knob 0 EQ [LOW] knob 5 [MFX] knob 0 EQ [MID] knob 5 [CHORUS/DELAY] knob 0 EQ [HIGH] knob
- Turn the knobs to adjust the levels in each range. Turning the EQUALIZER [LOW], [MID], or [HIGH] knobs toward the left will decrease the level of the corresponding range; turning the knobs toward the right will increase the level. MEMO In MENU 0 SYSTEM EFFECTS 0 Master EQ you can make detailed EQ settings. NOTE 5 Sounds may be distorted with certain knob settings. If this occurs, adjust the Input Gain on the “Master EQ” screen. 5 EQ settings are preserved even if you change Scenes, but are lost if you turn the power off. If you want to save the EQ settings, execute “Saving the System Effects (Write)” (p. 23).
