If you don't feel up to doing it yourself, straight away, your dealer ought to be able to do the upgrade for you...

And don't even bother with OS2, OS3 is SO much better...

Ah, the draw of 76 keys, live sound of the G70. Looks promising, the only thing that stops me is that the Yamaha OS fits like a comfortable pair of broken in shoes. After all the hours spent of setting registrations,styles, renaming styles. I hate to part with Tyros 2 I love the board,(T2) but still am unhappy with 61 keys.

[B]BTW, Montana.... If ALL your UPGs are skewed one way or another (and you can hardly blame the G70 for THAT, sounds like a monitoring issue) between Keyboard and Style Parts, there is a simple Balance knob, that can skew things back the way you want without having to adjust the UPG's...

Your comments are correct. Yes I can use the balance knob but I just as soon fix them all. I'll be recording the gigs again this week and tweek and problems I find. This being my first arranger keyboard I'm figuring things out as I go along but I do think it is a worth while journey.

Have you tried a 76 controller keyboard MIDI'ed into your T2? If you like the G70's action (best 76 on the planet, IMO!), take a look around and see if you can pick up a used Roland A70 controller. It's the ONLY thing other than arrangers Roland put this action in!

Or even a lightweight 88 from M-Audio or similar....

I miss my chord sequencer

Lost... One Chord Sequencer. Last seen on a G1000. Reward for prompt return.

That is interesting. I thought the E 80 was an upgrade to the G 70.
why did you let me buy the wrong keyboard then Fran???????

Bebop

BeBop that is one of the reasons I like the new top models from Roland...they are a OS upgrade away from a new model..

Your E80 has some edges over the G70[but not the key feel]..Version3 software brought the G70 up to par with the E80[almost)..

The version3 update made me finally decide to make the move to the G70, and eventually[today] replaced my G1000..

Diki, I have used a Casio Privia 88 keys to midi to the PSR 3000 I sold recently. No doubt about it works, but I prefer to have the controls right in front of me on the the board I find myself using lots of G70 converted styles on the T2. It may be time for a change , but not going to jump to quick.



That's a real plus for Roland. Makes a lot of sense. I've been stricly a Yammie player, but with OS upgrades and 76 keys with Roland that may be enough for me to jump to the Roland brand in the near future.

If the Privia is just a 'dumb' MIDI controller for the T2, can't you place them so close together that the T2 sits on top of the Privia and obscures all it's controls (apparently, you don't need them) and gets the keyboards right next to each other (B3 style), in which case it's not too big a jump to the T2's controls...

Plus, a set of Yamaha control switches (there's an input for a 10 button footswitch thingy, isn't there?) can do away with a LOT of panel switching....
