Roland G-70 Owner's Manual

201a
Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and "IMPORTANT
NOTES" (p. 2; p. 3). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit.
Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new
unit, Owner's manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a
convenient reference.
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the SR-G01 "G-70 Upgrade Kit" Expansion Board, specially designed
for Roland arranger instruments that have an expansion slot for SRX-series boards.
This expansion board contains a selection of totally new sounds as well as sounds taken from Roland's acclaimed SRX
library (SRX-03, SRX-05, SRX-07, SRX-08, etc.) and other Roland instruments. There are 76 Tones (available to all sections)
and 6 Drum Sets.
Along with piano, electric piano, organ, and electric guitar sounds, this board also features numerous vintage synth and
bass sounds available to all Keyboard parts (Upper 1/2/3, Lower 1/2, Manual Bass) as well as the Style and Song parts.
What's more, it also includes rhythm loops that are automatically synchronized to the Arranger or Song tempo and thus
usable with a broad range of BPM values. (Please note that their pitch changes according to the tempo you select.)
The Tones on this board can be edited using the parameters available for the Keyboard parts as well as the "Makeup
Tools" environment. (The Drum Sets on this board are derived from the Fantom/XV series and do not support the Drum
Instrument edit functions of the Makeup Tools environment. Therefore, you cannot edit Volume, Pan Pot, Reverb,
Chorus, and Pitch on the "Drum Instrument Edit" page.)
* The parameter settings for the Tones and Drum Sets are optimized for Roland arrangers released in or after 2005. In the case of
the G-70 Music Workstation (released in late 2004), be sure to first install system version 2 if your instrument still uses an older
version.
* Roland does not recommend using this board with other instruments fitted with SRX slots (Fantom, XV, RD series, etc.). The
SR-G01 is intended for arranger instruments and will not yield the expected results when used with a synthesizer or module that
does not contain an arranger function.
Important note for G-70 users
Before installing this expansion board, be sure to check whether your G-70 already
contains version 2.00 (or later) of the operating system. Proceed as follows:
1.
Switch on your G-70.
2.
Press the [MENU] button.
3.
Press the [Utility] field in the display, followed by the [Info] field.
The version number must be "2.00" or higher. If the number displayed on your G-70 is "1.1" or lower,
please install the new operating system as explained in the document called "G-70 Software Version 2
