The instructions on the CD ROM say to delete the contents of the G-70 "UPDATE" folder before copying the new update folder to it. It contains 20 or so files of several GB each(not KB).

Please advise

Bernie

That CD will be of the old OS. You need to get the official OS3.00 update and new (reworked) styles from Roland Keyboard Club
http://www.rolandkeyboardclub.com/v/OS_updater_G70_3.php

And follow the instructions carefully...

The best upgrade for the G70 is a PA800 !

Bernie, You can also call John @ Roland US Customer Support @ 323-890-3744. He will send you the update on CD for FREE ! He will also talk you through the whole process if you like.

You might want to save this number for future questions. The guy is a WHIZ !!!

Happy Playing
Scott

I upgraded per instructions with plenyy of capacity. It got down to the last 20 sec and full destination message appeared. It asked for another disk, and I pressed retry. It said DJ something could not be copied. It ended and the G-70 went from writing to the normal screen. I checked the ver, and it still says 2.02 but the available memory is down to 202KB.

It sure has a bunch of something in there, so don't think the upgrade was aborted. Not only that, but in trying some of the 299 styles they say that were polished,in my estimation, they couldn't be better.

Is it possible that it is upgraded, but the version didn't change because it was not quite completed ?

It sounds that good even on one CS30. I can't wait to haul out my Bose tomorrow.

Thanks Diki, one would have to pry this from my cold dead hands.

Thanks much

Dave why dont you like the G70?

Bernie, Don would be glad to help. He upgraded this unit from the store before he shipped it to me.


R.

what ver OS did Don M put in this G70?

Wow, that was a year ago. I put whatever the latest version was at the time. I just followed the directions. I don't recall having any problems updating it.

I was told by Roland Tech support that I must have a corrupted memory. John is sending me a disk, then I call him on his direct line, and he will talk me through blasting the memory and installing ver 3.00. He said no problem.

Thanks to everyone that has responded, and to Scott for John's number.

Bernie
BTW
It beat the PA800 with the band today. The layering sounded superb, even with ver 2,02

Thats great Bernie....can't wait to to read about your progress after 3.0 is installed.

Roland guy walked me through the v3.00 install, and found a couple of corrupted files in the internal memory. We did a format and reinstall. Everything working great. John told me that V3.00 was such an improvement over v2.02, that they used it in the E60 and E80. Support will be guaranteed for a long time to come(however long that is with today's technology). Roland went through the entire styles and sounds, further tweaking them, and adding new ones.

Thanks Zuki
Bernie

Zuki should have tried the G70 after the 3.0 installed before calling it a lemon....it is a great arranger keyboard no doubt with many super features..unfortunately I missed out on the 3.0 release also as it was introduced after I didn't have mine anymore.

good luck Bernie
