Roland g-70 Manuel Du Propriétaire

G-70 Music Workstation 

r

Your G-70 provides three knobs ([VOICE], [HARMONY] 
and [EFFECTS]) that you can use without even bother-
ing about the MIXER environment. That is why there 
are no MIXER functions for this section. But the Vocal 
Harmonist does have separate effects processors…

Note: For the following, it would be a good idea to set the 
[EFFECTS] knob at least to “

▼” to hear what you are doing.

(1) Press and hold a button to the right of the [VOICE] 

or the [HARMONY] knob.

This takes you to the page of the selected Vocal Har-
monist function. 

(2) To set the effects, press the [VOCAL¥EFFECT] field.

You can also select this page by pressing the [MENU] 
button‰[VOCAL¥HARMONIST] field‰ 
[VOCAL¥EFFECT] field.

The parts affected by the VOICE section are: SINGER, 
VOICE-FX and AUTO PITCH. 
→ Processors: Reverb, Delay
Now look at the front panel: 

Only one button of these two sections can be on at 
any one time. It therefore makes sense to use one set 
of effects processors for the VOICE section and a sec-
ond for the HARMONY section.

The parts affected by the HARMONY section are: 
VOCODER, SMALL and ENSEMBLE. 

→ Processors: 

Reverb, Chorus, Delay

Note: When you switch on the [TALK] function, the display 
looks a little different, because there is also a [MUSIC¥MUTE] 
parameter. See page 47 for details.

(3) Press the field of the parameter you wish to edit 

and set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] 
dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.

● Reverb Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the 

currently selected VOICE part should be processed by the 
VOICE Reverb processor.

● Delay Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the 

currently selected VOICE part should be processed by 
VOICE Delay.

● Reverb Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the 

currently selected HARMONY part should be processed 
by the HARMONY Reverb processor (which is a separate 
processor).

● Chorus Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the 

currently selected HARMONY part should be processed 
by the Chorus processor of the VOCAL HARMONIST sec-
tion. (The VOICE section doesn’t have a chorus effect.)

● Delay Send—Allows you to specify how strongly the 

currently selected HARMONY part should be processed 
by the HARMONY Delay processor.

(4) Repeat the above for the remaining combinations.

To select a different Harmonist part, switch on its 
button. (The names of the currently selected parts 
appears below the “VOICE” and “HARMONY” mes-
sages.)

Note: All settings for all VOCAL HARMONIST buttons are writ-
ten to a User Program (page 111).

(5) Set the MIC INPUT parameters as desired.

As explained under “Compressor, Gate and effects” 
on p. 43, the Compressor and Gate apply to the MIC 
INPUT signal before it reaches the VOCAL HARMON-
IST section. 

(6) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page 

or continue with the next section to program the 
effect processors.

Each Vocal Harmonist part can have its own effect set-
tings. These settings change automatically as you press 
[TALK], [VOICE–FX], [AUTO¥TUNE] or [SINGER], on the 
one hand, and [VOCODER], [SMALL] or [ENSEMBLE] on 
the other. 

[TALK] can therefore use a short Reverb (“Room”, for 
example), while [SINGER] can be processed with the 
“Church” algorithm and so on. Thus, by pressing 
[VOICE-FX], you not only select that part and its voice 
transformations, but also the reverb and delay settings.

In fact, the Roland engineers already programmed the 
effect parameters for you, so that you only need to 
read on if you want to edit those presets yourself.
