Selecting Sounds From An Srx Expansion Board - Roland G-70 Owner's Manual

Quick Start

Selecting sounds from an SRX expansion board

The G-70 allows you to expand the number of sounds
by installing an optional SRX-series wave expansion
board. This allows you to use the same sounds as own-
ers of a Fantom-X synthesizer.
See "Installing a wave expansion board" on p. 226 for
notes about installing such a board. If your G-70
already contains such a board (because you asked your
Roland dealer to install it when you bought the G-70),
proceed as follows to select one of the "Expansion"
Tones:
(1) Specify the part you wish to assign another sound
to:
• Press the TONE ASSIGN button of the desired part (so
that it lights).
KEYBOARD PART
MBS LW 2 LW 1
—or—
• On the main page, press the row of the part you wish
to assign a different Tone to.
The G-70 directly jumps to the TONE page that con-
tains the currently selected sound.
The red arrow indicates which part is active for Tone
selection (its TONE ASSIGN button also lights).
Note: SRX sounds can be assigned to the following Keyboard
parts: UP1/2/3, LW1/2 and MBS.
(2) Press the SRX EXPANSION button.

The display now responds with a list of Tones avail-
able on the installed wave expansion board:
Note: The names of the Tones that are displayed depend on
the SRX expansion board you installed.
(3) Press the field of the sound you are interested in. If
you don't like it, press 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).
(5) Press the field of the desired Tone.
Alternatively, you can proceed as follows:
• Use the list that came with the expansion board to
locate the number of the "Patch" you would like to
use. The name "Patch" is a concept found on Fantom
and other Roland synthesizers or modules. The G-70's
equivalent is called "Tone".
This also allows you to use "Rhythm Sets", which are
the equivalent of "Drum Sets" on the G-70 (they are
usually located at the end of the list). You cannot,
however, select "Tones" or "Performances".
• Press the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial. The display now
changes to:
• Pess the [Drum¥Set] field if you want to use the
numeric pad for selecting Drum Sets (the board's
"Rhythm Sets"). Otherwise, leave it off.
• Enter the number of the "Patch" (sound) you want to
use, then press the [ENTER] field.
If necessary, you can use the [Delete] field to correct
erroneous entries before pressing [ENTER].
The display now jumps to the page that contains the
sound whose number you entered.
Press the [CLOSE] field to leave the numeric pad
without selecting another sound.
