Make no mistake.
The RS70 synthesiser is full of new sounds. And not just new Patches, but an entirely new set of CD-quality waveforms. Put simply, this synth sounds amazing. From the delicate nuances of the acoustic piano to the rich tones of the strings and new synthesizer sounds, you'll immediately hear the difference. Bundled editor software makes it easy to dive in and program your own sounds.
Easy Instrument-Based Sequencing
Instead of using complicated concepts like MIDI channels and tracks, the RS70 Loop Sequencer is based on sounds. To create a sequence, simply choose a sound and record. As the recording loops, additional sounds can be selected and overdubbed until all parts are entered. Realtime and step recording are both supported, along with Microscope editing.
Made for Performance
With the new Multi Chord Memory function, musicians can play a variety of complex chords using a single note. Or trigger phrases at the touch of a key using the Phrase/Arpeggio Generator, which can be fully programmed and even recorded to the sequencer.
Loaded with Extras
The RS70 features Roland's popular D Beam Controller for controlling functions like pitch or filter cutoff using an infrared beam of light. The D Beam can also be used to control Roland's unique Active Expression feature, which makes it easy to fade in a second sound or change the volume and timbre. The RS-70 also includes a built-in floppy drive for loading GM/GM-2-complatible Standard MIDI Files—plus Roland's exclusive V-LINK technology for triggering video clips*.
