The RD-2000 has two main units of sound - Tones and Programs.
- Tones are single sounds, like a Piano, Electric Piano, Organ, etc.
- Programs are a collection of up to 8 tones or external parts assigned to Zones 1-8 along with their associated settings (reverb, eq, etc.). Programs are useful for performing with more complicated setups such as layers, splits, etc.
To select a Tone:
- Press any of the TONE buttons to select the category.
- Use the dial to select the desired tone.
To select a Program:
- Press the PROGRAM button so it is lit.
- Use the dial to select the desired Program, then press ENTER.
You can also use the BANK UP and DOWN buttons to select a specific bank and then use the INC / DEC buttons to select a Program within that bank.
