Preparation and Setup
RS7000 23
■ Connecting to a Mixer
Connect the output jacks (L/MONO, R) to two channels of the
mixer. The channel connected to the L/MONO jack should be
panned left, and the channel connected to the R jack should be
panned right.
Connecting a Footswitch
When using an optional FC4 or FC5 footswitch, insert the foot-
switch plug into the FOOT SW jack located on the rear panel.
The footswitch function is determined by the UTILITY mode
SYSTEM page FOOT SWITCH parameter (Page 257).
Connecting External MIDI Devices
■ Connecting a tone generator module
RS7000 sequence playback data can be used to play an external
tone generator module. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI
OUT connector on the rear panel to the MIDI IN connector of the
external MIDI device.
■ Connecting a MIDI keyboard
Real-time recording input will be easier if you use a MIDI key-
board.
Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT of the external MIDI
keyboard to the MIDI IN connector on the rear panel.
■ Connecting to an MTR (Multi-track Recorder)
Since the RS7000 implements MTC (MIDI Time Code) and
MMC (MIDI Machine Control), you can produce music while
synchronized to a MTC- or MMC-compatible multi-track
recorder. The RS7000 does not generate MTC on it’s own, so
you’ll need an optional MTC device such as the Yamaha
AW4416. Use MIDI cables to connect the MIDI OUT connector
of the RS7000 to the MIDI IN connector of the MTR, and the
MIDI IN connector of the RS7000 to the MIDI OUT connector
of the MTR. The RS7000 will sync to the MTC clock signal
received from the external device. If your MTR recognizes
MMC, then the start/stop, fast forward and rewind functions can
be remotely controlled from the RS7000. In this case go to the
UTILITY mode MIDI page and set the MIDI Sync parameter to
“MTC” (Page 260).
CAUTION
Do not connect the output jacks of the RS7000
to the mic input jacks of an amp or cassette
deck etc. If they are connected to mic inputs,
the sound quality may be impaired, and the
device may be damaged. Also, when connect-
ing the RS7000 to a mixer or similar device, set
the mixer channels to Line Input sensitivity.
