Sound: the samples are excellent, mostly, but as far as synthesis, it could be mour powerful (just two tones per patch and just ONE global effect is poooooor...). Feature: Love the equencer - The easiest, but not the most powerful (works fine, though). Works like a simplified groovebox. Easy to navigate through sounds, and menus. And nice real time modifiers. Nice arpegiattor, too. Quality: Nicely constructed. Hate that joystick thingy from Roland, but ALL their keyboards have that. I think it will survive a few gigs (eh ehe)... Value: It could be a little less expensive. But I think is a very good workstation for the price. Maybe, I would try out a MOTIF, nowadays... A put some more money. Manufacturer Support: Can The Wow Factor: Not the "beautifullest", but very handy, with all the features I need for live and Studio purposes. Still not totally happy about the synthsis archtecture, though.

"An underrated gem!" submitted June 15, 2004

Music Style: Rock, alternative
Back to Product Information
Sound: The sounds are great, especially those RS ones. Piano, strings, synths... they are all fantastic! Many of them are the latest sounds being used in todays rock/jazz/rap/techno music. Patches that sound a bit boring can easily be edited with the 5 knobs, effects or with RS PC/Mac editor. Feature: Loop sequencer is absolutely great. Not just it is easy to record/edit, it is also powerful enough to save your ideas and demos! Then you can save it to the disk as a SMF or pattern/song or in the memory. There are a bunch of Arpeggio/chords/patterns templates and are very good and useful, although I prefer to make my own. USB, Disk drive, 64 poly, 64mb sounds... Great! Quality: The keyboard is made to last. It's not all-metal case, but the plastic parts are sturdy and have a great feel on the hand. Cheapy? No way! Keyboard action is also great. Knobs are rubbery (yes!). RS70 would be good on the road and I could depend on it. Heck, it is made for players! Value: Price is ok. Manufacturer Support: Contrary to the popular "tradition" that Roland support sucks, my experience was different. I emailed Roland East European two times and got the response within 2 days. I also emailed EDIROL and got the response in 24h. I did post the question in the FAQ section and also got the response within 24 hours. I never dealt with the Roland warranty issues and hopefully never will. The Wow Factor: Looks very slick and stylish, especially the metal part. Overall: This gem is hugely underrated! I guess it is the Roland's fault - this keyboard receives very little marketing and media attention. That's why I wrote this short review in the first place. Also do not confuse this RS series with the RS 9 and 5 that have pretty bad reputation. RS 70/50 are a 110% improvement and cannot be compared to earlier RS keyboards! It has powerful and modern sounds, great and EASY sequencer, intuitive and great controls - all that for a good price. It is definitely better than TritonLE in many ways!
