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.

Caution when Playing Back Audio Files  
Playing back an MP3 file or changing the playback tempo of an audio file places a significant  
processing burden on the RD-300GX, and in some cases may cause it to be unable to completely  
process all of the performance data from the keyboard.  
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 Dumpp. 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.

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.

Selecting the Number of Parts  
(Part Mode)  
This scale devised by the  
philosopher Pythagoras  
eliminates dissonance in fourths  
This selects the number of parts for the RD-300GX.  
When set to “16PART+PERF,” the performance on the  
keyboard is not affected by MIDI messages from the MIDI IN  
connector or song data played by the RD-300GX. This is  
useful when you want to perform on the keyboard while  
playing song data with the RD-300GX.

produced by third-interval  
chords, but melodies are

music.  
This sets the tuning.  
Most modern songs are composed and played with the  
assumption that equal temperament will be used, but when  
classical music was composed, there were a wide variety of  
other tuning systems in existence. Playing a composition with  
its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the chords  
that the composer originally intended.  
Selecting the Keynote  
(Temperament Key)  
When playing with tuning other than equal temperament, you  
need to specify the keynote for tuning the song to be  
performed (that is, the note that corresponds to C for a major  
key or to A for a minor key). If you choose an equal  
temperament, there’s no need to select a keynote.

When performing in ensemble with other  
instruments, be aware that depending on the key,  
there may be some shifting of the pitch. Tune the  
RD-300GX to the fundamental pitch of the other

NOTE  
The scales of the major and  
minor just intonations are

About the Local Switch  
The switch that connects and disconnects the MIDI connection  
between the keyboard controller section and the sound  
generator section (p. 22) is called the Local switch. Since  
essential information describing what is being played on the  
keyboard won’t reach the sound generator if the Local switch  
is set to OFF, the Local switch should normally be left ON.  
However, if while performing you want to send that  
performance data to an external sequencer as MIDI messages

installation.  
• Use the RD-300GX to play SMF music files played back  
by MIDI-compatible software.  
What is the USB MIDI Driver?  
The USB MIDI Driver is a software which passes data  
between the RD-300GX and the application (sequencer  
software, etc.) that is running on the USB-connected  
computer.  
The USB MIDI Driver sends data from the application to the  
RD-300GX, and passes data from the RD-300GX to the  
application.  
• By transferring MIDI data between the RD-300GX and  
your sequencer software, you’ll be able to enjoy a wide  
range of possibilities for music production and editing.

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.  
p. 68  
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.  
High-Pitched Whine is  
Produced  
When listening through speakers:  
Here, a different cause (such as resonance produced by the RD-300GX) would be suspect.
