With over 20 new features and 14 new Music Styles (plus 27 Music Assistant registrations), the G-70 Music Workstation once again sets a new standard! Version 2 expands keyboard player's horizons thanks to innovative new features like the introduction of the Guitar Mode, the possibility to assign any Tone or Drum sets of an Expansion Board to Song and Style Tracks, the Style Converter and many other improvements. The original G-70 can be updated to Version 2 via download or you can ask your Roland Service Center to update your G-70 for you!
Guitar Mode Expansion Sounds in Styles and Songs
Style Converter
Piano Roll editing in 16-Track Sequencer and User Style Composer modes for a clearer idea of which track plays what
Customization of the Melody Intelligent Tone: the Tone the Melody Intelligence function adds to the chosen harmonization can now be freely selected
Innovative new feature: the Guitar Mode
The G-70’s new Guitar Mode expands keyboard players’ horizons with perfect guitar riff simulations (acoustic and electric) – in realtime. This cutting-edge function provides several down- and up-stroke patterns, realistic muting and other guitar techniques, all controllable from the G-70’s keyboard. The G-70’s Guitar Mode is so authentic, it will take your (and your audience’s) breath away!
The Guitar Mode is also an invaluable programming tool for live-feel guitar phrases in your Standard MIDI Files and Music Styles (available in 16-Track Sequencer and the User Style Composer modes).
Expansion sounds in Styles and Songs
OS version 2 at last allows you to assign any Tone or Drum Set of an installed expansion board (option) to Song and Style tracks. It even provides an Auto Sync function for perfect tempo matching of any loop or phrase you select from that board.
Style Converter
Turn any Standard MIDI File into a fully functional Music Style!
The G-70’s Style Converter is an easy and intuitive tool for creating your own Music Styles based on one of your own Songs or a Standard MIDI File created by someone else.
Vocal Harmonist Midi Control (16-Track Sequencer)
Several new functions have been added to the 16-Track Sequencer environment, the most important being the possibility to record Vocal Harmonist data.
The Vocal Harmonist has become MIDI-savvy and so can be controlled from an external device if you need the keyboard for other things.
Make Up Tool Freeze Function
It allows you to save your Song and Style changes for universal SMF compatibility, and more flexible Song and Style editing.
Melody Intelligence
This function has become more flexible: selecting a Harmony Type also means that the G-70 automatically assigns a suitable sound to the Melody Intelligent part (e.g. a trumpet and sax sounds for Big Band, etc.)
By default, the G-70 automatically loads the Melody Intelligent type that is suited for the Styles you select.
