Nick, this forum caters to all...Yamaha fan-boys, Audya fan-boys, Korg fan-boys, and, yes, Roland fan-boys as well. Some are even fan-boys for several brands. Having said that, Diki would never steer you wrong, so pay attention to our resident Roland guru...the G-70 is a super arranger. Ian

Well, if you know and use the word 'cogent', you're a fairly big step away from many of the Yamaha fan-boys already! (Just kidding, kids...!) But be careful petting that dog... they BITE!  I wouldn't BET on that Smartmedia card working in the G70. It's possible you can find a PCMCIA adapter to use it in the G70, but I doubt it has the same folder structure to work properly. But you will probably be able to transfer much of the data, especially SMF's and styles, to a computer and reorganize it there. But Performances (UPG's, whatever the Discover calls them) I would be surprised if they work as is... That's a bit of a dodgy price on the G70. Be careful it's not a scam. Over here in the States, used G70's in GREAT condition go for $1500-2000, and out of production, I wouldn't want to risk a less than great condition. Mind you, at a few hundred quid, you don't have THAT much to lose! [This message has been edited by Diki (edited 09-29-2010).]

Good point Diki, and Nick can rest assured that any cogency on your part would be very sincere.  I believe Roland keep parts on hand for about 10 years, according to my rep buddy, Daniel, so that's another consideration if Nick plans a long term investment. When was the G-70 launched...2002 or thereabouts? Ian

In order to get a proper response you need to be a bit inflammatory. So, I have been a bit 'mischievious
Cheers,

Ha Ha...you are very observant, Nick, and you catch on very quickly...again, welcome to SZ. No offence taken at all...in fact, fanboy describes 99% of the posters here on SZ. Diki and Fran are dedicated Roland fanboys, so you can trust their enthusiasm for the G-70...and Diki knows everything that needs to be known about the G-70, and he will educate you in all it's pluses and minuses.
