GREAT! I'm glad you made this tutorial. Very helpful! RD2000 is a wonderful piano and much more... So learning more about its functions is always a +. THANKS
Good explanation. Thanks. Ive seen every RUclips video on the Rd2000 and you are the only one to demonstrate this. Like you, I find it very unintuitive and awkward. I cant imagine fooling with this live...Which is why I stick with basic sounds.
I've had mine over a year. I love it, and you will not be dissapointed. Also, look into the German Piano upgrade. Something a lot of people overlook is, The RD-2000 can function as an excellent MIDI controller. So when controlling in a DAW, or external devices, it's beautiful to have one's faders within easy reach.
I thank you so much for your RD-2000 Tutorial. Roland should pay you for doing a better Tutorial than Roland Tech Support. I think the Roland RD-2000 Manual is almost useless. Your approach is very helpful. Thanks again.
Great runthrough, thanks. Now if only I could figure out how to toggle the rotary speed on two zones at the same time, preferably by using a foot switch. Like how you would need when using a split organ setup. Doesn't look like it's possible, but maybe you have som thoughts?
Andreas Thyholdt hi Andreas I love a challenge and just tried this - but with no luck. Obviously you can use a pedal in FC2 and assign it to tremolo on and off. But you still have to switch between zones for it to have an affect. Can’t easily find a way of controlling both zones effects simultaneously
@@ws1wd17 Yes, that's what I do now. Unfortunately you have to select the zone with your hand first and that sort of defeats the purpose of a foot switch. Seems like an oversight on Roland's part. I think the rotary effect should be a global effect like reverb and delay, thus controllable by a single control input across zones. Thanks for trying and confirming my suspicion. P.S. Now I just thought that maybe a MIDI footswitch could be used to transmit the toggle on separate MIDi channels as a macro, thus toggling both, if even such a footswitch even exists. I have to look around.
Andreas Thyholdt without looking at the midi implementation I’m not sure whether that tremolo switch is a cc or sysex. I’m guessing you could route a pedal through mainstage and have it transmit on both channels simultaneously- but agree with you that it’s not an elegant solution and should be a global effect.
@@ws1wd17 yeah, with Mainstage it could be easily done, I guess. I don't use Mainstage on the road usually, so need something else. Dug around a bit but not a lot of switches that can do any kind of complex midi and those that can are very large and overkill for this task. It seems this thingie though could be used to convert a standard foot switch to any midi message. Have to download the control software to check further. Midi implementation supports toggling tremolo or rotary as CC and also as sysex, I checked that. So one would need to send 2 control change messages on 2 different midi channels or a sysex string. One for on and one for off. Now, just need to find that $150 :). Thanks again. www.midisolutions.com/applicat.htm#FootswitchControllers
Fantastic explanation
I was bewildered for quite a while
Very much appreciated
Thank's a lot bro, I just bought my RD 2000 and your tutos are easy to understand and useful. Great job ! Thanks and greetings from France.
This is way better than Roland’s own tutorial videos. They should give you a job. 👍
Thank you for making this lovely tutorial! Super helpful!

Really well thought out easy to follow tutorial. Wish they could all be like this. Thanks so much :)
Best explanation I've seen on the subject. Thanks!
Immensely helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this - very useful video indeed 👍🏻🎹

You weren't the only one. 🙂 Thanks for the help on this.
This is absolutely brilliant info, thank you so much for sharing this.🙂🙂🙂
Although a 5 years old model i plan to buy one.

Heck yeah - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
The one dislike is mad that they don't own the piano.
A great video!! Thank you!
But which are the modeled piano sounds you are talking about?:)
Maurice hi - the first 20 piano presets on zone 1 are the V piano modelled pianos.
ws1wd17 alright, thanks a lot!:)

Does it have chorus effect in it? Thank you
Be very careful when you buy it. It has no speakers.
Very disappointed
It’s a professional stage / studio piano… not really a home keyboard
