Chapter 11. Recording Performances on the RS-5/9 to an External Device
Recording Each Part Separately
Next we will record the musical data for each Part onto
separate tracks of the sequencer. So as not to erase the
Performance settings that we recorded at the beginning of
the song, we will start recording the song from the following
measure which recorded the Performance settings.
We will record tracks in the order of drums -> bass ->
accompaniment -> melody, while listening to the tracks that
were recorded on previous passes.
For example, assign Tones to each Part as shown below.
Drums: Part 10
Bass: Part 2
Accompaniment: Part 4
Melody: Part 1
* Tone changes, and the actions of the Pitch Bend lever,
Modulation lever, knobs, and other controls are also recorded.
* It is not necessary to record the song at the tempo at which it is
to be played back.
Listening to the Recorded Performance
When you finish recording all Parts, playback and listen to
the result. Note the following when playing back a song.
* If you modify the settings of each Part (volume and panning
etc.), you will need to re-record the modified Performance
settings at the beginning of the song. (p. 125)
Set the System Exclusive Receive Switch to ON (p. 116)
When set to OFF, the Performance settings recorded at the
beginning of the song cannot be received. With the factory
settings, this will be “ON.”
Set the Same Device ID Number Used for
Recording (p. 115)
If not set to the same Device ID number, the Performance settings
recorded at the beginning of the song cannot be received.
Make Sure to Start Playback at the Beginning
of the Song
When playback of a song is started at any point other than the
beginning, the Performance settings at the time of recording
are not used, and the song is not played back correctly.
Playing Together with the Playback
of a Recorded Performance
You can play the RS-5/9’s keyboard along with a previous
performance by playing while the recorded material is
played back. In this case, select a Part that was not recorded
for playing the keyboard.
Transposing Playback of
Performances (Master Key Shift)
If you wish to transpose the playback of a song, use the
Master Key Shift setting. This setting will transpose all Parts
except for the Drum Part. You can specify a transposition of
up to +/-2 octaves in semitone steps.
The Master Key Shift setting is a system setting that is
applied to the entire RS-5/9 (i.e., is a system setting). This
setting remains stored in memory even while the power is
off.
1. Press [EDIT], getting the indicator to light.
2. Use VALUE [-]/[+] to select “System Setup.”
3. Press [ENTER].
4. Press the numeric key [4] several times to select “Master
Key Shift.”

* If you hold down [SHIFT] and press [4], you will return to the
previous item.
5. Press VALUE [-]/[+] to select the value (-24 to +24).
6. Press [EDIT].
The [EDIT] indicator goes out, and you are returned to
the previous screen.
Enjoying Computer Music
You can use a computer and sequencer software instead of a
hardware sequencer to record the music you play onto
multiple tracks (perhaps over a number of sessions), and
then play back the recorded result.
Connecting a Computer
When connecting the RS-5/9 to a computer, one of the
following is required.
• USB MIDI interface cable (Roland ED UM-1)
• USB MIDI interface (Roland ED UM-2/4) and MIDI
cable
• Interface equipped with a MIDI connector (Roland Super
MPU ll) and MIDI Cable
• MIDI interface adapter and MIDI Cable
