Overview of the RD-300GX
Basic Organization of the
RD-300GX
Units of Sound
When using the RD-300GX, you will notice that a variety of
different categories come into play when working with sounds.
What follows is a simple explanation of each sound category.
The RD-300GX can be divided into two sections: a controller
section and a sound generator section.
fig.00-G01e
Tone
Sound
Generator
Section
The individual sounds used when playing the RD-300GX are
referred to as “Tones.” Tones are assigned to each part.
The Tones also include various groups of percussion instrument
assembled into “Rhythm Sets.” Each key (note number) of a
Rhythm Set will produce a different percussion instrument.
Play
Part
Controller Section
(controllers such as keyboard, pitch bend lever, etc.)
A sound generator of this type which can control multiple
sounds using one device is referred to as a multitimbral sound
generator. The RD-300GX contains a multitimbral sound
generator capable of playing sixteen Tones simultaneously.
“Parts” are where Tones that are created when the RD-300GX
is used as a sound generator are assigned. Since different
Tones can be assigned to each of the Parts and controlled
individually, you can have multiple Tones play simultaneously,
divide the keyboard into separate ranges and have different
Tones sound in the different parts (Split), and enjoy playing
ensemble performances.
Controller Section
This section includes the keyboard, the Pitch Bend/Modulation
lever, 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 pedal, and so forth, are
converted to MIDI messages and sent to the sound generator
section, or to an external MIDI device.
The sixteen Parts played by the RD-300GX’s internal sound
generator are referred to as “Internal Parts.”
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.
Zone
The RD-300GX features three Parts (UPPER 1, UPPER 2, and
LOWER) that you can use for freely controlling the Internal
Parts with the RD-300GX’s buttons and keyboard. These three
Parts that are used for controlling the Internal Parts are
collectively known as the “Internal Zone.”
Furthermore, you can freely control external MIDI sound
generators with the RD-300GX in the same manner as with the
Internal 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.

Performing with Audio Files ([AUDIO KEY] Button)
The RD-300GX lets you play audio files saved on USB memory (sold separately) while
you perform. This is called the “Audio Key” function.
The Audio Key function lets you assign an audio file to each key B 0–B1, and play those
audio files by pressing the corresponding key. You can assign various phrases to the keys
and play them at the appropriate moments during your performance.
You can also specify that an audio file play repeatedly, or reserve the audio file that
should be played next.
If you turn on the Audio Key function when USB memory containing audio files is not
connected, an audio file built into the RD-300GX will be selected.
Here are some ways in which you can enjoy using the Audio Key function.
• By switching audio files between sections such as Intro, Theme, Break, and Ending
as your song progresses, you can freely change the structure of the song while you
perform.
• Assign a different audio song to each key, and use the keyboard to switch songs
so you can perform to the accompaniment of an audio song.

If this occurs, you may be able to solve the problem by taking the following actions.
• Use WAV/AIFF format data rather than MP3 format data
• Return the song tempo to its original setting (to 0%)
An MP3 file has little time of the blank at the head and the end of the file. Therefore, the sound might
cut off when an MP3 file played repeatedly with Audio Key function.
If this occurs, you may be able to solve the problem by taking the following actions.
• Use WAV/AIFF format data rather than MP3 format data

Using the RD-300GX As a Master Keyboard
By connecting an external MIDI device to the MIDI OUT connector on the RD-300GX’s
rear panel, you can then control the external MIDI device with the RD-300GX.
Normally, the RD-300GX will transmit note messages from the MIDI OUT connector, but
if you press the [EXTERNAL/INTERNAL] button so the “EXTERNAL” indicator is lit, you’ll
be able to control various settings on your external MIDI device in addition to transmitting
note messages.
You can control internal and external sound generators independently.
If you press the [EXTERNAL/INTERNAL] button so the “EXTERNAL” indicator is lit, the RD-
300GX will be in a state where it can control an external MIDI sound module (External
Zone). You use the [EXTERNAL/INTERNAL] button to switch between control of the
Internal Zone and control of the External Zone. You can also make detailed settings for
MIDI messages transmitted to external sound modules.
What’s MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard specification that allows musical
data to be exchanged between electronic musical instruments and computers. By using
a MIDI cable to connect devices that have MIDI connectors, you can create an ensemble
in which a single MIDI keyboard can play multiple instruments, or change settings
automatically as the song progresses.
About MIDI Connectors
The RD-300GX has the following three types of MIDI connector. Their functions differ as
described below.
fig.Q3-01
MIDI IN Connector
Performance messages from an external MIDI device are received here. These incoming
messages may instruct the RD-300GX to play sounds or switch Tones.
MIDI OUT Connector
MIDI messages are transmitted from this connector to an external MIDI device. The RD-
300GX’s MIDI OUT connector is used for sending the performance data of the controller
section as well as data used for saving various settings (Bulk Dump→p. 77).
USB MIDI Connector
Use a commercially available USB cable to connect this to your computer’s USB connector.
You can use MIDI-compatible software on your computer to transmit SMF files for
playback by the RD-300GX, or set up a sophisticated music production system in which
MIDI data is transferred between your sequencer software and the RD-300GX.

What are Duplex Scale?
The Duplex Scale is a system of sympathetically vibrating
strings sometimes included in grand pianos.
Adjusting the Sound of the Hammer
Strike (Hammer Noise)
These sympathetically vibrating strings are not struck
directly with hammers, but sound by vibrating in
sympathy with the vibrations of other strings. By
resonating with the overtones, these strings add richness
and brilliance to the sound. These sympathetic strings are
added only to the high register above approximately C4.
Since they do not have a damper (a mechanism that
stops them from sounding), they will continue sounding
even after you play a note and then release it to stop the
sound of the string that was actually struck.
This adjusts the sound of the hammer striking the string of an
acoustic piano.

Effects Not Applied/
Effects Sound Wrong
On the RD-300GX, only one type of multi-effect can be used at a time. For this reason,
there’s a “MFX Zone” setting that lets you choose the Zone to which the multi-effect is to be
applied. Be aware that if you’re playing more than one Zone simultaneously, there will be
a Zone to which the multi-effect is not applied.

As the RD-300GX piano sounds faithfully reproduce the depth and reverberation of actual
acoustic pianos, reverberation may still be audible even after the reverb effect is removed
from sounds.
Reverb Remains Even
After Reverb is Lifted
—
With the acoustic piano settings, sounds in the upper 1 1/2-octave range are extended to
the end regardless of the damper pedal actions. The tone is also different in this range.
Roland’s pianos faithfully reproduce the sonic qualities of acoustic pianos. Furthermore,
you can use the instrument’s Key Transpose setting to change that range over which the
damper pedal has no effect.

When listening through headphones:
Certain piano tones that feature vibrant, sparking sounds contain a large high-frequency
component, which may make it appear that a metallic reverberation has been applied.
This faithfully reproduces the characteristics of acoustic pianos, and does not indicate any
malfunction. Since this reverberation becomes particularly audible when supplemented by
heavy reverb, you may be able to diminish the problem by reducing the amount of reverb
applied to the sound.
