Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Kawai R-iOO Digital Drum
Machine! This Owner's Manual contains valuable infor-
mation that will help you make full use of this instru-
ment's many capabilities. Read it carefully and keep it
handy for future reference.

FEATURES

I 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.

I Touch response

Touch response is fast becoming a standard feature for
synthesizers. The R-IOO 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.

I Programming ease

The sound sources each have their own LEVEL, SEN-
SlTlVlTY, TUNE, and PAN controls. The parameter
settings are displayed in groups of eight voices each as
a bar graph on the LCD screen. Pressing the correspond-
ing COMMAND SELECT key changes the value for that
particular source and parameter.

I Programmable TUNE and PAN

The R-IOO also allows you to vary the TUNE and PAN
settings for each note when recording a pattern.

I Variety of line outputs
The R-lOO provides eight individual channel outputs as
well as stereo or mono outputs.

I Detailed editing functions

Kawai's advanced editing features make the Rice much
more powerful than other drum machine. Such features
include a choice of real lN/OUT at the bar level, and REPEAT and JUMP
functions for song and chain editing.

I Memory cartridge slot

The RC-16 cartridge (available separately) stores backup
copies of all information currently in the FM 00s inter-
nal memory.

I Full MIDI implementation

The R-100s 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.
