ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

WARNING

• Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner's Manual.

• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.

WARNING

• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

• Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA series), and make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

WARNING

• This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.

In addition to the items listed under "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" on page 2-4, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit's power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.
• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
• Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these batteries may be limited, however, since their primary purpose was to enable testing.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit's memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Memory Backup

• This unit contains a battery which powers the unit's memory circuits while the main power is off. When this battery becomes weak, the message shown below will appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

"BAK BATTERY LOW"

Additional Precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit's memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
  Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit's memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

You Can Create Songs

With the DR-670, you can compose and perform songs by arranging sequences of rhythm pattern performances.

For more detailed information, refer to "Chapter 1 Before Composing Rhythm Patterns and Songs" (p. 38) and "Chapter 4 Recording and Editing Songs" (p. 63).

This section provides a summary description of the DR-670.

How the Work Progresses

The process of creating one song's worth of rhythm patterns can be divided broadly into two steps: creating the patterns, then composing the song.

Composing the Rhythm Patterns

Compose (record) the performance patterns that constitute the sections or parts of the song. You can create up to 200 of your own User Patterns.

There two different recording methods are shown below.

Realtime Recording

With this method, the key pads are played in time with a metronome count, with the pattern being recorded just as it is performed. Even if there is a little unevenness in the timing used in tapping the key pads, the Quantize function allows you to record with the timing corrected. (Refer to "Set the Quantization" p. 55)

Step Recording

With this recording method, the timing for playing instrument sounds (steps), volume levels, and other aspects of the pattern are specified one by one. This allows patterns to be recorded accurately, even those that are hard to record using Realtime Recording.

You can also record patterns using both Realtime and Step Recording.

After recording the basic pattern using Step Recording, finish creating the Pattern by using Realtime Recording to add sounds in a freer ad-lib style.

Composing the Song

Compose (record) the song by stringing together a sequence of performances using your User Patterns and the 200 Preset Patterns. There are two methods used for recording songs as well.

Realtime Recording

Here, the song is recorded just by selecting and playing patterns. This allows quick and easy recording of songs.

Step Recording

With this method, the individual patterns to be played and the points where they are played in the sequence (the parts) are specified one by one. This allows accurate recording of songs, even those that are difficult to record using Realtime Recording and those involving complex combinations of patterns.

About Operational Modes

The DR-670 features numerous functions for creating patterns and songs and for Editing sounds. These functions are categorized into the following nine different modes.

Drum Kits and Pad Performances

Drum Kits

The DR-670 includes 256 internal drum sounds (instruments) and sixteen internal bass sounds (bass tones). A "drum kit" is a single set containing 32 of these drum sounds and one of the bass sounds.

• The DR-670 comes with 64 Preset Drum Kits (Numbers 1-64), and 64 User Drum Kits (Numbers 65-128), whose settings you can change.
• You can modify the sound (change the volume, pitch, and other settings) of instruments assigned to the User Drum Kits, thus enabling you to handle such sounds as new instruments distinct from the internal instruments.
• On the DR-670 you can use only one drum kit when creating any one pattern. You cannot use multiple drum kits simultaneously to make one pattern.
• The number of the drum kit used when creating a pattern is stored within the pattern. As a result, during playback of patterns, a switch is made to the relevant drum kit whenever you switch patterns.

Pad Performances

Drum sounds are divided into two banks, Drum Bank A and Drum Bank B, each of which contains sixteen sounds, with one of the sixteen sounds each being assigned to a key pad.

With the DR-670, you can elect to have either Drum Bank A or B, or bass sounds played when the key pads are tapped.

About Polyphony

The DR-670 features 20-voice polyphony; that is, a maximum of twenty sounds (voices) can be played simultaneously. However, some instruments use two voices each time they sound, so when playing such instruments, the actual number of simultaneous notes may be less than twenty.

To find the number of voices used by each instrument, refer to the "Instrument/Bass Tone List" (p. 99).

How to View the Scale/Pattern Display

■ Pattern Display

The content of any one of the instruments or the bass tone for the currently selected pattern is indicated in the pattern display.

The following shows the relationship between the pattern and what is indicated.

The DR-670 uses patterns that are composed of either one or two measures. When a two-measure pattern is selected, it is indicated as shown below.

Switching the Instrument

When you want to display the information for a different instrument, hold down [VOICE] and press the key pad for the instrument whose information you want to display.

• To switch drum banks, press [DRUM A/B].

The name of the selected instrument appears in the display.

VOICE
A	B

• To display bass tone information, hold down [VOICE] and press [BASS].

Scale Display

The "▼" mark in the scale display indicates the timing of the quarter notes.

When there are too many beats to allow all of the notes from the beginning to the end of the pattern to be displayed at one time, “▶” appears, indicating that there are steps that are not being displayed.

Changing the Scale

By changing the scale (the length of individual steps = a single square), you can have patterns containing many notes be shown in their entirety, as well as display the content of more complex patterns.

(Example)

BEAT: 4/4

SCALE:32

Operation

1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [8] (SCALE).
2. While continuing to hold down [SHIFT], turn the TEMPO/VALUE dial to change the scale setting. For example, when set to "16," the length of a step becomes a sixteenth note.

What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a universal standard that allows for the exchange of performance data and other information among electronic musical instruments and computers. Once MIDI cables are used to connect together devices equipped with MIDI connectors, each device can send data to, or receive data from any of the others.

MIDI Connectors

The DR-670 is equipped with a MIDI IN connector and MIDI OUT connector.

MIDI Implementation Chart

In order to exchange MIDI data, the data transmitted by the MIDI devices must be common to both. The owner's manuals for a MIDI device always includes a MIDI Implementation Chart, which allows you to quickly check the compatibility of that device with other devices. By comparing the MIDI Implementation Charts of each device you are using, you can confirm which kinds of data can be exchanged.

• A separate publication titled "MIDI Implementation" is also available. It provides complete details concerning the way MIDI has been implemented on this unit. If you should require this publication (such as when you intend to carry out byte-level programming), please contact the nearest Roland Service Center or authorized Roland distributor.

MIDI IN

Receives data from an external MIDI device. Connect to the MIDI OUT connector on the external MIDI device.

MIDI OUT

Transmits the DR-670's data. Connect to the MIDI IN connector on the external MIDI device.

• Do not connect the MIDI IN connector directly to the own MIDI OUT connector.
• When making a looped connection with other MIDI devices, do not set the connected devices to THRU (SOFT THRU). Otherwise, malfunction could result.

About MIDI Mode

With the DR-670, you can use MIDI data to do the following.

• Synchronize performances with a digital recorder or MIDI sequencer
• Use an external MIDI device to play the DR-670, and use the DR-670 to play an external MIDI device
• Transmit data from the DR-670 to an external MIDI device and return the transmitted data to the DR-670

In MIDI mode, you can make the necessary parameter settings for handling MIDI data.

You can also transmit data in MIDI mode.

To switch to MIDI mode, hold down [SHIFT] while the performance is stopped and press Key Pad 14 (MIDI).

Holding down

		PARAMETER	VALUE
M	J	S	H

Procedure

1. Switch to MIDI mode.
2. Press [ ] [ /ENTER] to select the parameter to be set.

1. Change values in the Sync Mode, MIDI Channel (Drum), and Device ID settings screens by rotating the TEMPO/VALUE dial.

Synchronizing Performances with a Digital Recorder or MIDI Sequencer (Sync Mode)

You can synchronize the DR-670's performances with digital recorders, MIDI sequencers, rhythm machines, and other such devices.

Master and Slave

When synchronizing two or more devices, one is made the "master" device and all others "slaves."

When the master device is started or stopped, a MIDI message for that operation is transmitted. The slave or slaves then start or stop in accordance with the transmitted MIDI message. Furthermore, timing clock data corresponding to the tempo is transmitted by the master device. Slave devices synchronize their performances to this timing clock.

Other data transmitted from the master device to slave devices includes song numbers (Song Select) and the position of song performances (Song Position Pointer).

Data Synchronized with the DR-670

The following MIDI messages are handled during synchronization with the DR-670.

Start
Timing Clock
- Continue
Song Select
- Stop
Song Position Pointer

• Song Select and Song Position Pointer data are not output in Song Edit mode.
• For more information on the MIDI messages handled by the devices you are connecting, refer to the owner's manual for each device.

Setting Sync Mode

Select whether the DR-670 is to be the master or slave in Sync mode.

		PARAMETER	VALUE
M	H	S	AUTO

AUTO:

Master and slave are switched automatically.

While the DR-670 normally functions as the master, when the performance is stopped and a Start message is input from an external MIDI device, the DR-670 automatically switches to slave.

INT:

The DR-670 functions as the master.

Operating the DR-670 starts and stops performances, and performances play at the tempo set in the DR-670.

MIDI:

The DR-670 functions as a slave device.

The DR-670 starts and stops according to the messages input from an external MIDI device, and performances are synchronized to the timing clock transmitted by the external MIDI device.

• Sync mode settings are not saved. The function is always set to "AUTO" when the DR-670's power is turned off.

Tempo Display with the DR-670 as Slave

When the DR-670 is functioning as a slave device, the tempo appears in the display as shown below, and the tempo cannot be controlled from the DR-670.

If no timing clock is being transmitted by the external source when [START] is pressed, then the tempo indicator lights and remains lit, and the start of the performance is put on hold until the timing clock arrives.

• You cannot switch modes while the DR-670 is in this state. To switch modes, press [STOP/CONT], then proceed to switch the mode after the tempo indicator has gone out.

Using An External MIDI Device to Play the DR-670/ Using the DR-670 to Play An External MIDI Device

You can use performance data transmitted from an external MIDI device to play the DR-670, or operate the DR-670 to control performances of external MIDI devices.

MIDI Channels

In order to exchange performance data between an external MIDI device and the DR-670, the MIDI channel settings must be the same for both devices. Performance data can be exchanged successfully only when the MIDI channels match.

Performance Data Handled by the DR-670

Note Messages

These are messages that convey the performance status of drum parts and bass parts. These are equivalent to the performance data for keys on a keyboard. The different kinds of Note messages are shown below.

Note Number: Key pad number to which an instrument or bass tone is assigned

Note On: Key pad is tapped

Note Off: Key pad is released

Velocity: Force used to tap the key pad

This correspondence of the DR-670's key pads to Note Number as shown below.

Bank A

49	57	53	51
50	48	45	41
37	39	56	44

Bank B

69	75	70	58
67	68	73	74
60	61	66	65
54	62	63	64

When you tap one of the DR-670's key pads, the Note Number for that key pad is transmitted.

When a Note Number is received from an external MIDI device, the instrument or bass tone assigned to the key pad corresponding to that Note Number is played.

• Note Numbers that do not correspond to any of the key pads are disregarded if received.

Program Change

This message switches the drum kit.

• Program Change messages are not output in Song Edit mode.
• For more information on the messages that can be handled by the devices you are connecting, refer to the owner's manual for each device.

Setting the MIDI Channel

ERR

SSTEM

An unknown error has occurred in the system.
Immediately stop using the unit, and consult your dealer or nearest Roland Service Center.

Troubleshooting

If you find the DR-670 is not operating correctly, check the items listed below.

If the DR-670 still does not work properly after you check these points, consult your local Roland Service or your dealer.

No Sound

Is the volume turned down (p. 18)?
Is the output part set to "DRUM" or "BASS" (p. 76)?
Is the instrument's level set to "0" (p. 80)?
Have you selected a pattern or song containing no performance data?

Sounds Drop Out

Are you playing too many sounds simultaneously?

The DR-670 has a maximum polyphony of 20 sounds (voices). Some instruments use two voices each time they are played, so using such instruments results in reducing polyphony to fewer than 20 voices.

With some kinds of patterns, you can reduce the number of voices that sound simultaneously by setting the Assign Type to MONO. This would be effective, for example, in a pattern where a lengthy cymbal sound is triggered on every beat.

Could there be a mistake in the Assign Type settings (p. 82)?

Can't Play Rolls/Flams

Could there be a mistake in the Flam Interval or Flam Ratio settings (p. 78)?
□ Are you trying to play a roll or flam with a bass part?

Performance Does Not Start When [START] Is Pressed

Is "MIDI" selected in Sync mode (p. 87)?
Have you selected a pattern or song containing no performance data?

REC Indicator Does Not Flash When [REC] Is Pressed

Recording Does Not Start When [REC] Is Held Down and [START] Is Pressed

Have you selected a Preset pattern?
Have you selected except Song Edit mode (p. 63) or Pattern Edit mode (p. 52)?

No Metronome Sound

Is the metronome level (Click Level) set to "0" (p. 78)?

Cannot Change the Drum Kit Settings

Have you selected a Preset drum kit?

Cannot Play the DR-670 Using an External MIDI Device

Cannot Play External MIDI Device From the DR-670

Could there be a mistake in the MIDI channel settings (p. 88)?
Could there be a mistake in the note numbers (p. 88)?
