All user reviews for the Roland G-70

the sequencer is something like a basic DAW on a computer i haven,t used it yet.Connections are midi,audio in etc.I,m finding it hard to get a memory cartridge that fits in the back.

UTILIZATION

I haven,t really got round to experimenting with this keyboard yet,i want to wait until i have the time to do so properly.This is the fifth high spec k/board i,ve owned, my experience with it on stage has been very good.Of course once i find out what it can really do,specially with the guitar mode,i will write a more in depth revue.

OVERALL OPINION

Roland in my opinion make very good instruments,this one is getting on a bit now but with the upgrade to version 3,the excellent harmoniser,guitar mode,that i have my opinion is still the same.I,ve tried many keyboards in the last 20 years from the first decent yamahas that came out then to the tyros,that i presently own,along with a BK5,psr1500,psr900.

The sequencer is very pleasant with its disposal various tracks "as in Cubase" (while the Tyros is a list of "vertical", we do not see all the tracks together on the screen unfortunately)

UTILIZATION

Sorry I do not agree with what has been said about the G70 Manual: for me who have dealt with other manuals (Yamaha Tyros with that I have, Ketron SD5 with I also has), I could compare and I think the G70 Manual is the one that is more explicit, more clear, more educational (if you spend a little time) and with whom I able to go to every corner of the machine, while I stayed on my hunger with manuals Tyros and Ketron!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 10 years and I am always happy on stage and at home. The only complaint was a lack of renewal in sound quality; Roland was the impression that they live on their achievements in this area for years! It is true that compared to the scene (tea dances, balls, etc ...) the Ketron is more efficient in terms of sound, I also used to complement the G70

76-key synth heavy but not hit right answer keys, a bonus vocal harmony exelent.
midi in / out / thru, USB, audio, a + b, hold, volume and action effects
More than 1,200 sounds, many editable Styles, a phonic wheel organ drawbars (Hammond) virtual synth guitar (with the keyboard 6 keys for strings re mi sol mi and if other keys to the rhythm right hand.
Cakewalk sequencer-type color display tracks
Very good effects, mastering more on audio output.

UTILIZATION

The setup is quite simple but it's "Roland" must be lapped.
edition is affordable when you know the manual "quite complicated in these exlications as always Roland must reread.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years as a piano and synth group scene and duet with arranger and midi file,
I particularly like the tone wheel with its digital Leslie and vocal harmony
bemol only you can independently adjust the volume right where his left hand version tonewheel organ
I have and has a dozen of Roland is one of the best in this type
I definitely do it again this choice

I tried this keyboard for 2 days and also a posssède sd1 and unn tyros.
Keyboard ok, ok accompany, for the record techinique see site ROLAND

UTILIZATION

Using very simple and intuitive touch screen is super fast and takes the usual.
The drawbars (I'm one of the foun b3) nothing to say we find the VR760, the possibilities of live remix, the users, the harmonizer is simply great, the more Trucci cutting style, the agreement generated by D BEAM, controls via the pots so cool, display karaoke
My regrets: No hard disk drive as standard, the quality of sound (apart from harmonqiques zippers, strings and some typed Roland sounds - ah good old D50) below the tyros

OVERALL OPINION

If you have not tasted the TYROS, do not hesitate a moment and buy eyes closed.
If you want to buy a VR760, do a little effort and you have the total ....
value for money is excellent

I did the test two days ago
very pleasant to the touch keyboard, large function certainly

UTILIZATION

So already, I have to play ComenC j avai ears on fire .. j ai desuitre disable the compressor master, and lower the bass eq general ... c koi .. ets No matter ing he has traded their sound or what Roland!

OVERALL OPINION

The internal is a shit excuse me a 50% ... c were a Suspicius to my ears, the violin was shit, els and acoustic guitar electrik a shit .. (Excuse me for being vulgar but Roland fouées our geule and irritates .. ca m) placing the package in the function of all kinds, all in one, but the heart and rotten .. Why!
Yamaha is still higher today with the motif ES and S90

See the website of Rolandus.com

UTILIZATION

Frankly, I bought it for 1 month, and it's a good keyboard trs (good touch, easy to use, packed with technology)

The sounds are excellent (though some say ...): piano (version 1.06), organ, guitar, accordion ,..., ergonomics too.

The manual is very well done.

Just a regret: one slot for SRX ...

OVERALL OPINION

I tried the Korg PA1X and tyros before making my choice and G70 silent before the other 2.

The report is excellent musicalitprix (cheaper than the korg and better than the yamaha).

I would do without this choice hsitation.

Overall, utilisable.Dommage honestly do not have a keyboard more "piano" (Hammer type Mekanik)

UTILIZATION

Let's be serious! The G70 is like a Swiss army knife with lots of tools to work quickly and with a quality basic suffisante.Certes, Roland has some favorites paramtres can be to the detriment of sound, at least for some records but any fawn, whatever the manic sound, if you want a string section that sounds right or if you want a guitar sound larger than life, well, hire musicians! on the other hand, in terms of suggestion, embedded in the mix, it's pretty daunting.
For me it's a good product quality music over / use and then prix.Et, returning just in, we can improve.
In conclusion, good beast to the stage and for the home studio

OVERALL OPINION

Well, was not long that I have the beast but a little searching and original programs shenanigans, I feel that I will enjoy myself and create new styles.Et, question choice, I would do the same without hesitate

This synth is great albeit some say not knowing the performance of using this new technology. The styles are fully compatible with VA7 and EXR SERIES ... They are found in a perfusion internet can also be ordered in various sites, the choice is standard.
The keyboard is great and certainly one of the best view of the arrangers CATEGORY (I possde a Tyros I and I assure you that the diffrence is big). The touch screen is simply gnial, I apprci a little bit bigger but not n'xagrons. The finishes are also thunderous, it is not "plastic" only, but it certainly PSE there is the quality below. In traditional music accompaniments are most ralistes I know. Sounds to me more than enough, now it's really not a problem with an expander or other synth becomes formidable and full rev. A Tyros with a G70 offers a directory fMeasure and I do not tell you the power and the pleasure it gives you! Do not forget that this is not the arranger who plays the piano but must matriser the bte, many people still believe otherwise, and yes, we must first take over! !

UTILIZATION

For the latest technology, I find extremely simple to use, a larger hard disc and a small t Simpler would be welcome, it is in the Tyros II later this year ...

OVERALL OPINION

This device was worth every penny, it is a professional device, some would find it cheaper, I remind you that the quality is paid for!
If you are looking for a modern techno, it's not in this way to look for.
The keyboard 76-Key Semi agile is welcome, I use it also as a keyboard matre now.
For Fast Fashion styles and songs, this unit is awesome, all ditable track by track, the User that personally I do for my REPRESENTATIVES.
I'll keep this arranger few years because I am satisfied trs, I play as well as the traditional techno.

I just bought a G-70 there are a few prs month.
I have read all the opinions (good or good month), so this is what I think.
In terms of ergonomics is simply great.
It is true that the point of view sounds, the guitars are a bit flaibles.
Otherwise the rest is not bad at all.
Now there are Sr-G01 card that I do not know yet, is we'll see.
But beware! this is not the instrument that plays by itself! (See what I mean?).

UTILIZATION

Trs, trs easy to use.

OVERALL OPINION

I am satisfied with the G70, except of course the guitars, and some kits baterie.
Expect the card 01 g Sr perhaps for good surprises, or not.
That's what I think.

76-key arranger keyboard ...
Connections sufficient to make its ...
Number of styles / parties sufficient ...
Many sounds from the latest generation of Roland keyboards ...
Configurations also effects from Roland latest chipsets.
Sequencer comfortable to compose, Roland has nothing to prove that ct l. ...

UTILIZATION

The setup is comfortable, we like it or not, facilitated by the notch that has become, with the latest synthclaviers prcieuse assistance to adjust to the many paramtres ...
The edition is comfortable, as long as one is immersed in the manual.
Manuel enough.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried it in stores because I want a keyboard like this, which runisse a sequencer, a good keyboard (76 notes of preferences) and good instrument sounds plutt "acoustic" (cons-bass, violins, pianos, etc. ....).
I like the keyboard, sequencer / arranger who, like Roland tradition, has nothing to prove that ct l. A plus for this keyboard is the possibility of him sticking SRX brand because the sounds, owns and essay for the last time (a 20-groin for almost anne .. ..) Roland keyboards, have not suffered the same "amlioration" than Yamaha for example, in the latest generation of machines, Yamaha has made a great effort on "ism" of sounds. I do not think Yamaha boasts of making acoustic pianos samples better than the pianos as it sells the same brand but a sound system for 2x300W, I can tell you that my ES Rack, a quip PLG150-AP ring of hell! Ms. piano dj is in the sounds of electric pianos .... The bases for that matter, other than acoustic guitars and sax, which are secondary in my orchestrations. Roland .... Well not break a brick!! Not bad but good ....
I aissay the Yamaha Tyros and I practiced mostly synths: XP50, JV90, SY99-85, VK-7, Korg 01W Pro.
The price is good but got my lev ....
My choice turned over to Yamaha for the time module or to a sequencer / arranger of the same caliber as that in the G-70 but I keep my Rack ES anyway. But I n'achterai not the G-70!

UTILIZATION

I tried this keyboard two times in store, with a headphone and with a system that amp.
The config looks straightforward, against the edition of sounds is limited trs (LFO, ADSR, cutoff, resonance .. which is modified with zippers).
For styles and so on. I did not pitch in!
A nice ide: pressing a key change in style dclenche the corresponding fill-in.
on the other hand I would have AIM (but I may be too quick to look for a button to translate an octave (for a more acute ds piano that starts the car acc MG, can be a practical ...)

OVERALL OPINION

Most:
- The keyboard trs enjoyable, flexible, with touches lgrement rounded. The black keys have a rougher texture, we like it or hate it ...
- Styles damn good and a little off-mode, so forcment, it is not the IDAL for techno ...
- Some sounds: acoustic and electric pianos, the grant, the organs (drawbar presets +), pads (vocals well above the Yamaha for example.), The clarinets are nice (especially jazz / folk, with bcp of vibrato)
- The zippers! the zippers! zippers !!!!! (Mostly they are not restricted the registration of the organ ...)
- The look: even when it has most beautiful face that Yamaha or Korg.

The -:
- Some sounds are really rotten: the vibraphone is dtestable when I compare one of my old jv90! The brass trs bof, oboe ugly cords averages. Batteries?? Yeah, if I compare trslger plug-in sound.
- As t said, there rverb bcp, but everything is paramtrable ...
- Compared to Tyros 2 is a notch below for most sounds (although the piano is really good), but less than fluff ... I think.

Correction: I finally bought the APRS bte be tested and compared (I bought it new with case and amplifier 2300).
The styles are good, fairly neutral (not like the Tyros, the little I heard, where we seem to hear a midifile of an existing song is good too).
It lacks a bit of contemporary styles, rap, techno and sometimes they sound a bit "tired", but as everything is edit and save will ...
The styles of jazz are trs cool and everything revolves around the guitar (gypsy jazz styles and unplugged).
Manual: the seller had the palm so I wait, but After a few hours on the machine passes, I noticed how everything is easy and ergonomic.
The sounds are effective even if they sometimes lack finesse and DEFINITIONS.
The organ sounds are available as presets (with VLOC !?!?) and drawbars module (without egg VLOC).
There are 8 pRSET for the module, but as everything is recorded as user Programs, is unlimited. And record all programs rglages (paramtrage the D Beam, effects ...). In addition, the program change is instantly a good reason to rsister virtual instruments
The vocal harmony is trs fun, but plutt through coaching. It's just a pity he is not more paramtrable (there are many presets for male voices or female).

- What type of keyboard (synth, piano ...)? How many octaves?
76 large (real) keys + After velocity per channel, not by note.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
Yes, after first touching a simple, but as soon as you scratch it fishing and dispatch

- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Typical subtractive

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
Not fully exploit the beast, which has certainly brought to the notice with prejudice, the handling takes weeks for even a good pianist (keyboardist), including synthetic guitar chord

OVERALL OPINION

With the V3's G70-based OS 2, I am convinced he made the right choice.

At the time, late 2004, I hesitated between the dilemma Korg already confessed and the successor to the Roland V-series or the G70.

Personally, there was a trio:
Wersi, but we went from single to double the price for a high-end arranger.

With this latest release including 3-for installation must first have installed the OS 2 I'm sure you have the ultimate bonus between arrangements, sounds and customer service in the world.

The equalizers per unit present on the Home version Roland E80, are among the updates to the G70 that makes this phenomenon than the most prestigious arrangers, all prices combined.

I tested there less than a week the three beasts, my opinion is not 100% subjective!

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
