KAWAI DIGITAL DRUM MACHINE rx-100 Owner’s ManualIntroduction FEATURES = Professional Quality PCM Sound Recordings ‘The R-100's 24 separate drum and percussion sounds have all been recorded in a professional level 12 bit PCM format with a sampling rate of 32 kHz. The sound quality is suitable for any recording situation, even for Compact Disc recording. = Touch response Touch response is fast becoming 2 standard feature for synthesizers. The R-100 now brings the same feature to drum machines, providing volume control over a wide dynamic range ~ from pp to ff. Each of the 24 sound sources has its own touch sensitivity control for full Control over the touch response. = Programming ease The sound sources each have their own LEVEL, SEN. SITIVITY, TUNE, and PAN controls. The parameter settings are displayed in groups of eight voices each as 2 bar graph on the LCD screen, Pressing the correspond ing COMMAND SELECT key changes the value for that Particular source and parameter = Programmable TUNE and PAN The R-100 also allows you to vary the TUNE and PAN settings for each note when recording a pattern. ‘Thank you for purchasing a Kawai 8-100 Digital Drum Machine! This Owner's Manual contains valuable infor- mation that will help you make full use of this instru: iment’s many capabilities. Read it carefully and keep it handy for future reference. = Variety of line outputs ‘The R-100 provides eight individual channel outputs 3s ‘well as stereo or mono outputs = Detailed editing functions Kawai’s advanced editing features make the R-100 much ‘more powerful than other drum machine, Such features include a choice of real-time or step recording, PUNCH IN/OUT at the bar level, and REPEAT and JUMP functions for song and chain editing = Memory cartridge slot ‘The RC-16 cartridge (available separately) stores backup copies of all information currently in the R-100's inter. ‘nal memory. = Full MIDI implementation ‘The R-100's MIDI implementation not only allows you to do such things as record a pattern from an external keyboard, but also includes such advanced features as ‘Song Position Pointer and system exclusive messages for control of additional, R-100's as well as loading and storage of memory to MIDI peripherals.Care and Maintenance Protect your R-100 from: * Direct sunlight and exposure to the elements ‘* Temperature and humidity extremes ‘+ Unstable or “noisy” AC power Dust and sand * Vibration during transport Power Supply «Use a supply within the stated voltage limits, * Make sure that all power swithces are off before changing equipment connections. ‘+ Connect the unit as shown on p. 6. Cleaning ‘© Clean the instrument with a soft cloth, a mild deter gent, and lukewarm water. ‘+ Never use harsh or abrative cleansers or organic sol vents, Helpful Hints = Battery Backup The lithium battery protecting the memory contents while the power supply is off is good for more than five years of normal use. We recommend, however, that you have your nearest authorized service representative replace it promptly after five years have passed. = Line Noise Reset In the unlikely event of @ “lockup” due to line inter: ference, simply turn the R-100 off for a few seconds and then reapply the power = Repairs Always save your valuable internal data to cassette ‘tape or RC-16 memory cartridge (available separately) before taking your drum machine in for repaits or ser- vicing. Otherwise, it may be lost during testing.Table of Contents Introduction eee Care and Maintenance Table of Contents oe 23 1. Controls 3 1.1 Names of Parts . 4,5 1.2. Connections 6 1.3 Jacks 7 2.

Playing a Rhythm Pattern ‘The CALL PATTERN command is used to play back a previously recorded pattern. It appears when you first apply power or when you select the PATTERN group. Pressing the START key changes the display from “CALL” to “PLAY”, lights the PLAYBACK LED, and starts the playback. The pattern then repeats endlessly. You can select another pattern while playing, which will be played after the current pattern, Note: You cannot change to another command while a pattern is playing, On the left side of the lower line of the display, the total number of bars in the pattern and the number of the current bar, respectively are shown; on the right side isthe time signature, Pressing the STOP key suspends the playback.
