Synth 6 Dynamic octaves, after touch. modulation wheels + 3 assignable potentiometers. Implmentation complte twelve o'clock. Sounds arrangs banks in patches from basic sounds, according to Roland chre Methodius.
MIDI implmentation complte, can make a very good keypad
USE
Ad of the era boasted the mrites the D70, qualified by Roland as "the biggest sound of all" ..... matter of taste. The D70 is a response KORG Roland, the output of M1 (1988) was the shadow of the career D50 released one year early. Therefore designed a hurry, it suffers from a synthesizer ergonomics hair pulling. Unclear edition of the pages. A hierarchy of totally droutante memorize and difficult menus. Ms. MIDI is a horror program.
With practice, you come to master the beast a bit, but at the cost of such efforts we quickly discarded.
DLM aka "loop differential modulation" as it is unusable. This function intended supposedly scan loop waveforms, a little Manire PPG, only produces unsightly noise.
SONORITS
The piano sound is quality vibes and electric pianos as well. As against the evil and curly summit hollow strings.
The D70 was the first synthesizer offering rsonnants filters on chantillonns sounds, the result is far from being convincing: when pushing the rsonnance, the sound becomes tinny. It is also very difficult to get good real analog layer with this type of filter.
The D70 also suffers from a bug (the one I dtenais anyway, but I do not n'tais the only complain): st processor sub-dimensioned so that the LFO slows down in proportion to the number of notes simultaneously cheeks !!!
However, we can get some interesting and rich enough patches by stacking several layers of sounds. But ultimately, it's more of a reader than samples of a real versatile synthesizer. If you want to program analog type sounds or effects, the D50 is so much more powerful and easy to access.
NOTICE GLOBAL
I bought this synth in 2001, after having rv long. I gard six months because of me a lot. Except that it has a good 6 octave keyboard in a very compact shell, it presents synthesizer will present little interest.
