Roland g-70 Manuel Du Propriétaire

G-70 Music Workstation 

r

The MIXER environment does what its name suggests: 
it allows you to balance the various Keyboard parts of 
your G-70. See page 124 and following for how to 
“mix” the Song and Style parts.
Your singing and the generated Vocal Harmonist parts 
can be “mixed” using the [VOICE] and [HARMONY] 
knobs.

The G-70 contains the following effects processors, not 
all of which are available for all sections. Please care-
fully study the following table:

The reason why we are talking about “processors” is 
that most of them can be used in various ways (by 
selecting a “Type”). The MFX and IFX are the most versa-
tile processors, because they can use one of 84 types, 
while other processors provide 8 or 9 possibilities. Only 
the Compressor and Gate processors are “dedicated” 
effects: they only function as Compressor or Gate.

Note: See page 132 for how to set the VOCAL HARMONIST 
equalizers.

Note: The effects of the Harmonic Bars sections are covered in 
the section “Using effects” on p. 34.

(1) Press the [PART] button (you can also press 

[CHORUS÷REVERB] or [PAN÷VOLUME]).

The MUTE message means that the part in question 
is currently not available. You can mute a part by 
pressing its instrument icon. To switch a muted part 
on, press its instrument icon (flagged with a MUTE 
message) again.

(2) Press the [PAN¥POT÷VOLUME] button once or twice 

to assign the VOLUME parameter to the sliders. 
(The row of the on-screen faders is displayed in 
light gray.)

Note: The assignable slider functions can also be selected by 
pressing any control in the desired display row (VOLUME, PAN-
POT, REVERB or CHORUS).

(3) Move the sliders below the display to set the 

desired volume for the various Keyboard parts.

(See the names below the sliders – inside the grey 
box in the illustration.)

When the position of the assigned slider does not 
match the value set for the parameter that is con-
trolled, you first have to move the slider to the posi-
tion that corresponds to the green dots that sur-
round the knob icon or that are located next to the 
fader icon before being able to actually change the 
value.
