Let me chime in here. I am a Roland G70 dealer in California.
I too saw the 1.07 upgrade the other day and I loaded into my floor unit. Actually, I don't notice any difference. The site said that the effects settings were tweaked but I don't really hear the difference. I called Roland and spoke with a good friend of mine who is the "guru" of arranger keyboards at Roland US. He said that he had just received an email from Roland Italy with a downloadable new operating system which I thought was 1.07 as well. He was going to try it before releasing it to the US market. I haven't spoken with him since, but I can assure you Roland does know of a new update, but what it exactly is I don't know yet.

I just purchased a G70 on EBAY, I will get it next week. I will assume it has the first version of software. I wil assume I can load 1.06? If 1.07 or 1.10 is available can I load that one or do I need to start with the first upgrade?

By the way I recently sold my PA1xpro on EBAY. I auditioned the G70 at a local "Piano" store and loved it. This "Piano" store had an asking price of $4,500.00!!!! I think Roland made a BIG mistake going the CK route!!! Are you listening Roland! My concern is they will not sell enough of theses in the US
RESULT: No Style development and overall acceptance. This is an Excellent arranger keyboard IMHO.

With 1.07 I have less booming bass than with 1.06 -- and overall sound now more than satisfactory for me.

Thanks to Marcos Vampa I now have couple of hundreds of true brazilian (not brazilian-like, programmed in Italy or in USA) styles - and (thow this styles not tuned for G70) I now satisfied with style section too (especially with using of cover function).

Now G70 is exellent arranger with 1.07 and additional styles.

I'm just hoping that Roland soon also will release a new version of RDBM so it will be possible to sort the user programs order, because I can't find an easy way to do this in the G-70.

I can see that v.1.10 is ready for download now.
Is there a list or document who tell exactly what the updates have fixed?

What should I do with the FactoryData03 file? According to the manual you are not allowed to replace or copy to certain folders in the keyboard memory, but to use the new modified styles and user programs you have to replace all folders in the keyboard! I really don't understand this.

The user manual warns you to not write data directly into internal folders because you could loose your data or affect the functioning of internal database.
Anyway if you want to update your keyboard to the last data you have to replace the old data with the new one.
I suggest you to save on a removable media your newly created data (songs, user programs, styles, etc.), update the whole keyboard with the new data, then re-add your personal data.

Hi Turnip,
if you replace all folders lose all personal data.
My advice is copy the ROMStyle folder only.
Bye Bye
