76 key Pro-Action keyboard with 192 MB WAVE ROM, 285 styles, and Adaptive Chord Voicing.
Overview
Roland is renowned for producing revolutionary keyboards and now reaches another historic milestone with the introduction of the G-70 Music Workstation. The G-70 incorporates concepts and technologies from across the entire Roland product range, resulting in an instrument epitomizing the very best of Roland.
The best sound engine
The G-70 uses Roland's most powerful sound engine ever. With its lightening-fast processor, 128-voice polyphony and 6 real-time performance parts, the G-70 will satisfy even the most demanding player.
The best sound quality
The quality of sound on the G-70 cannot fail to impress, as it uses the largest internal WAVE ROM in Roland keyboard history -- 192 MB (16 bit linear equivalent). It boasts the best sounds from the Roland library, as well as the latest and most expressive piano sound Roland has ever produced, derived from Fantom-X. Many new studio-sampled guitars, accordion and other instrument sounds are also featured and give a fantastic live feel to arrangements.
SRX expandability
Roland's SRX expansion board series offers a wide selection of the highest quality sounds, taken from the world's top professional studios. The G-70 can be expanded in this way to give an even greater choice of sounds to the performer.
76-key Pro-Action keyboard
The keyboard on the G-70 features a superb weighted Pro-Action, with after touch, which has a longer stroke and a natural responsive feel.
Harmonic Bars
The G-70 caters to the needs of organists by including… read more 9 sliders which physically reproduce the feeling of playing a real Harmonic Bar Organ, using the renowned Virtual ToneWheel technology from Roland's VK organ range. These sliders are linked to the 3D animated Virtual Harmonic Bars on the full-color LCD and can also be assigned to a variety of functions for a truly expressive performance.
Brand-new styles
The G-70's arranger section includes 285 completely new styles, each with 4 variations, 4 intros, 4 endings, and 6 fill-ins, which exploit the full potential of the powerful sound engine. Many of these styles have been recorded using live studio musicians to create top-quality professional backings.
Cover / Makeup Tools for customizing styles
The G-70 also includes the Cover and Makeup Tools from the DisCover series, allowing you to instantly change any part of your style or song. Thousands of different styles can be easily created using these features.
Adaptive Chord Voicing (ACV)
The greatest innovation in the arranger section is a new technology called "Adaptive Chord Voicing" (ACV). The technology is based on an intelligent real-time chord voicing for each accompaniment part, which creates a natural arrangement -- each instrument in the style plays smooth musical lines instead of jumping to awkward intervals each time the chord is changed.
Full-color LCD screen / DigiScore and lyric display
A full-colour touch screen, complete with "click noise" to confirm actions, is also included for quick and simple operation.
The G-70 features a high-quality 4-stave score display, developed from the Atelier and HP-i products, as well as the facility to view chords and lyrics. This chord and lyric information can also be viewed on an external TV screen using the video output.
Data storage
The G-70 has a huge 50MB internal memory (solid state disk), a floppy disk drive, and a memory card slot that supports many current devices, such as Smart Media and Compact Flash.
Effects and mastering
There are 7 independent effects sections on the G-70, including dedicated sections for the Harmonic Bars, Harmonist and the External Audio Input. Mastering tools derived from the renowned VS Pro Audio range are also included for even greater control.
Harmonist
The Vocal Harmonist on the G-70 has over 90 different settings and many additional effects and features, including Auto Pitch Correct and Vocoder.
Music Assistant
The correct sounds, style, tempo and effects are automatically selected for each of the hundreds well-known songs on the Music Assistant database, to which new songs can now be added as required.
16 track sequencer / 8 track style composer
The full 16-track sequencer and the internal style composer can be edited in precise detail using Microscope edit functions.
Quick search
Quick search is an essential for the keyboard that has a huge database inside. The G-70 offers the direct Finder function for quick recall of your next User Program, style or song.
USB
For easy file exchange and MIDI transfer to PC, the USB connector is provided.
