®ÂØÒÅˆÎ DJ-70/DJ-70MKII Supplemental Notes

Performance

A Performance consists of up to 31 Patches. Each Patch in a Performance can be assigned to a MIDI channel (1-16)

allowing the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII to function as a multitimbral sound generator. Performances can also be used to create

layers or splits by assigning the “KB” parameter of two or more Patches to “On” and adjusting the keyboard range for

each Patch as desired. Parameters such as volume, pitch bend range, loop mode, and pan position can be assigned

to each Patch within the Performance. These settings can be used to augment or override similar settings in the Patch

and/or Partial levels. A maximum of 64 Performances can be stored in RAM at any one time. The actual number will

depend on the amount of available memory and the size of the Samples used in each Patch within each Performance.

Volume

Volumes are collections of Performances. You can have up to 64 Performances at once in the memory of the

DJ-70/DJ-70MKII, all of which can be saved to and loaded from disk as part of a single Volume. Volumes are

mainly used to organize your Performance (including the Patch, Partial, and Sample data associated with them)

and song data created with the RPS sequencer.

NOTE: The DJ-70/DJ-70MKII’s operating system allows you to save items at various levels in the hierarchy

that we’ve just outlined. Each time you save, all of the items contained at lower levels within the saved item

will be stored to disk along with it. For example, if you save a Patch, all of the Partials and Samples within

that Patch will also be saved. If you save a Volume, then edit one of the Patches within it and save the

individual Patch, this Patch will be saved into the Volume file, overwriting the previous version.

II. Basic Operation

or this example, turn on your DJ-70/DJ-70MKII without a disk in the floppy drive. F

Loading a Patch

One of the most common procedures you will perform on your DJ-70/DJ-70MKII will be loading Patches

from a floppy disk. A Patch is usually the ‘finished’ version of the sound you are trying to create. Use the

ollowing procedure to load a Patch:

1) Insert the floppy disk containing the Patches you wish to load into the disk drive (the Demo disk will

work if you don't have another disk).

2) Press DISK. The DJ-70/DJ-70MKII will access the disk that is in the drive.

3) Use the CURSOR UP button to highlight the “Target” portion of the display. Use the VALUE DIAL to

select “Patch.” The DJ-70/DJ-70MKII will display all Patches found on that disk.

4) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the desired Patch and press S1 to initiate loading. "Now Working" will

be displayed on the screen and you will hear the disk drive spinning. “Complete” will be displayed when the

DJ-70/DJ-70MKII is finished loading the selected Patch.

NOTE: If you already have Patches loaded into the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII’s internal memory, “Clear Internal

Memory Before Loading?” will be displayed. If you would like to load Patches without erasing the current

Patches, use the LEFT/RIGHT CURSOR buttons to highlight “No” and press S1. If you would like to erase the

current Patches (from the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII’s internal memory) before loading any new Patches, use the

LEFT/RIGHT CURSOR buttons to highlight “Yes” and press S1.

5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 to load additional Patches into the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII.

The DJ-70 and DJ-70MKII are compatible with the Roland S-700 series Sample library (floppy disk

only on the DJ-70). The majority of the Samples from the floppy disk library as well as many other user

created Samples are available on the internet at no charge. Simply download the Samples and necessary

conversion software from the Sgroup’s FTP site @ lotus.uwaterloo.ca. You can log on as “anonymous”

and use the password “anonymous.”
