Roland g-70 业主指南

Quick Start 

r

G-70 Music Workstation

Note: The function that takes care of this easy fingering is 
called “INTELLIGENT” (page 80). See also p. 249 for a list of 
other chords that can be played using this system (augmented, 
diminished, etc.).

What you hear now is the “MAIN 1” pattern (the 
[MAIN] and VARIATION [1] buttons light). This is the 
simplest accompaniment of the selected Music Style. 
Let’s listen to the accompaniment your could use for 
your choruses:

(8) Press the VARIATION [2] button (the [MAIN] and [1] 

buttons light and [2] flashes).

At the end of the VARIATION [1] pattern, the VARIA-
TION [2] button lights steadily and the Arranger plays 
a different accompaniment.

(9) Now try out Variations 3 and 4.

So far, we have only used the main accompaniment 
patterns (i.e. the phrases that are repeated over and 
over until you stop the Arranger). 

The various variations can be used for verses (1), second 
verses (2), choruses (3 & 4) and other song parts. 
Switching between these patterns is a matter of press-
ing the VARIATION [1]~[4] buttons. Yet, that produces 
instant changes of the accompaniment, while “real” 
musicians tend to “announce” new song parts by means 
of roll in the drums or slightly different accompaniment 
notes.

The G-70 allows you to make such “announcements” in 
the following way:

(1) Start playback of the MAIN [1] pattern (see above).

(2) Play a chord in the left half of the keyboard.

(3) Press the [AUTO¥FILL¥IN] button (it lights).

(4) Press a VARIATION [1]~[4] button to select another 

MAIN pattern.
The [MAIN] button and the selected VARIATION [1]~[4] 
button flash.

What happens now depends on when you press this 
button:

• If you press it on any beat before the last of the cur-

rent bar, the Arranger plays a Fill-In pattern that lasts 
until the end of the current bar. It then changes to 
the newly selected pattern (at which point [MAIN] 
and the selected numeric VARIATION button light 
steadily). 

• If you press it on the last beat of the current bar, the 

Fill-In will start on the next downbeat and last an 
entire bar, after which the Arranger automatically 
selects the new pattern.
If you press the same numeric button ([1]~[4]) again, 
the Fill-In is played according to the above rules. But 
when it finishes, the Arranger returns to the pattern 
you had been using up to that point.

(5) Switch off the [AUTO¥FILL¥IN] button if you do not 

want the next pattern change to be preceded by a 
Fill-In.

Note: The length of a Fill-In can be halved. See “Half Bar on Fill 
In” on p. 63, 67 and 69.

Now that we’ve got the transitions covered, you may 
start wondering how to create more professional intros 
for your songs – and how to end them in style. That is 
what the [INTRO] and [END/RIT] buttons are for.

While the MAIN patterns keep repeating the same 
accompaniment until you select another one or until 
you stop Arranger playback, Fill-Ins (see above), Intros 
and Endings are played only once.

Once the INTRO pattern is finished, the Arranger auto-
matically proceeds with the MAIN [1]~[4] pattern 
(depending on which button flashes). At the end of the 
Ending pattern, however, the Arranger stops.

(1) Stop Arranger playback by pressing the 

[START÷STOP] button (it goes dark).

(2) Play a chord in the left half of the keyboard to 

specify the key of the Intro pattern.

(3) Press the [INTRO] and the numeric button [1]~[4] 

that corresponds to the Intro pattern you want to 
use.

(4) Press the [START÷STOP] button to start Arranger 

playback.
The Arranger plays the introduction of the currently 
selected Music Style. If you like, you can now try out 
the remaining three Intro patterns by pressing 
[INTRO] and [1]~[4]. The number refers to the degree 
of complexity.

Note: Do not play while the Intro is running. Most Intro pat-
terns indeed contain chord changes, so that playing different 
chords may lead to highly annoying results.
