Roland g-70 业主指南

Quick Start 

r

G-70 Music Workstation

• On the main page, press the row of the part you wish 

to assign a different sound to.

In this case, the G-70 directly jumps to the TONE 
page that contains the currently selected sound.

The red arrow indicates which part is active for Tone 
selection (its TONE ASSIGN button also lights).

Note: It is also possible to select sounds for Keyboard parts 
that are currently switched off. This allows you to prepare the 
next sound(s) while still playing another Keyboard part.

(2) Press a TONE button to select a family and its 

“best” sound (the sound already changes at this 
stage).

See page 33 for the [HARMONIC¥BAR] sounds and 
page 32 for the [SRX¥EXPANSION] button.

The display shows a list of Tones available in that 
family:

Entries with an [EXP] icon to the right of their name 
are sounds that reside on the SRX-series expansion 
board you installed. Those sounds are automatically 
assigned to the correct families (and displayed on the 
last page of the selected family).

(3) Press the field of the desired sound. If you don’t 

like it, press another field.
The last sound you select in each family is memorized 
temporarily and will be recalled every time you press 
the corresponding TONE button. (That selection can 
then be changed by pressing another field.)

(4) If you are still not happy with the Tone, use the 

[PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥5] and [˚] fields to select the corre-
sponding page (if available).

The [˚] field is only displayed if there are more than 
five pages. Other Tone families have fewer than five 
pages. This depends entirely on the Tone family you 
select.

(5) Press the field of the desired sound.

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

Next time you select this TONE family, the G-70 
automatically jumps to the page that contains the 
last sound you selected (and activates it).

Try playing the Tones you select at different velocities 
(strengths) to discover the rich nuances that can be 
obtained. (See page 60 for details about how to set 
the velocity sensitivity.)

There is a “JazzScat” sound (VOCAL family), for exam-
ple, with three dynamic levels that allow you to 
sound “Doo”, “Bub” or “Daow”, simply by hitting the 
keys softer or harder. Various guitar Tones provide 
hammering-on/bending sounds when you strike the 
keys as hard as you can.

Transposing the keyboard to the lowest octave (using 
the OCTAVE parameter) sometimes allows you to play 
some typical noises (scraping over the strings, hitting 
the body of an acoustic guitar, etc.). 

■Choosing the sound selection system (Sound Set 

Mode)
The Roland engineers figured that you might feel 
overwhelmed by the number of Tones available in 
each TONE family. That is why the G-70 does not dis-
play all the sounds it contains when you switch it on 
for the first time. This “restricted” display mode is 
called “BEST SELECTION”. In this mode, only the “new” 
sounds can be selected. 

You may have grown fond of “older sounds” (from 
the G and VA series) and wish to select them. In that 
case, select “EXTENDED”:

(1) Press the [MENU] button.
