As a roland arranger keyboard since E-20, I think the G-70 resources on the web are very poor since now - therefore I started a new Forum (German and english) at www.citymusic.at (Poldis G-70 Forum on the start site)
Looking forward to your posts !!!

Dear Poldidenk;

Good luck with your new forum. I also am familiar with the E-20. It was a good little keyboard at the time. How are you doing with your new G-70. Any new impressions since you have had it for a couple of months now?

PS--where is the english portion of the forum?

BN

HI BN ! Thanks for your wishes, the english section is the second option - Roland G-70 in English. Can we further discuss on my new forum. I would be so glad to have some posts....

Poldidenk;

Hello. I have tried to post a message on the new forum, but even though I am in the G-70 English forum the instructions are still in German. So I can't make out how to make a post, or other functions for that matter.

Thanks

Simply press "neues Thema" and post your message...
Confirm with "erstellen"
Good luck - Poldi Denk

I found the site / navigation a bit "messy" and
hard to navigate for me who don't manage the
language there. (At least at first)
Anyway, nice to see that there is a G70 comunity
growing up.
Keep on the good work.

I'm defecting from Technics KN7K to Roland G70 - just done a p/x today - can anyone enlighten - me does the G70 have a port for accepting SD Cards like the KN7K i would like to use my 128mb card in the new keyboard PS will check out forum later ...
Ta in advance

you need a pcmcia adapter - then you can use standard SD-Cards.

Thanks for info - Shame Roland doesn't include the pcmcia adapter with the keyboard - have just checked prices and its atleast £15 (~$30) here in UK for adpaters that can handle SD (Prices vary pretty wildly too some are as much as double this , but £15 looks the cheapest)

Hi Tony,
?????? I payed 10 Euro ($13), PCMCIA adaptor
compact flash TypeI
Regards Hanspeter

Roland doesn't include the pcmcia adapter because each user can have different media (SD, CF, Memory Stick, SmartMedia,...); how can they know which one to include?

Hi All

Looks like i won't need a pcmcia card adapter anyway there seems to be plenty onboard for saving all my registrations .

I am impressed with the sounds of the Roland . Great piano good guitars , good hammond sounds . Less fancy gimmicks more professional sound imho .

Easy, just include a "7 in 1" card reader
GJ

For what I know, "7 in 1" card readers are available only with USB connection, not as PCMCIA cards. Am I wrong?

You're probably right, but my guess is that they could
do it "as easely as that" if they just wanted to.

It is always a matter of final cost for the user: eveything is included in a musical instrument will cost to the customer much more than buying the same thing (if needed) in a computer shop.
Hence, why should I pay 4 times its real value something that maybe I'll never use?
