Diki, after I read this I checked the SRX demo site and saw that the 07 has a lot more to offer than the 03 Studio card I bought.

So I bought one

Man you are right those basses are super..No tweaking necessary and they suit a LOT, if not most of the styles, better than the original set on the G70..

the keys are'nt bad either....

Thanks for the heads up on this one, even if it was unintentional...
I usually always take note when you recommend a bit of kit!!

Cheers,
Dennis

Thanks...

It's a PITA that they aren't identical in volume - most of the SRX patches, for some strange reason (like Roland being too lazy to fix the issue!) are noticeably a tad louder than the ROM Tones... But you get used to backing them off quickly, and get on with it.

BTW, If you haven't auditioned the SRX Tones with the 'UPPER1 EQ-MFX LINK' (Menu>Utility>Global) enabled, be sure to try them out with that... There's some pretty interesting FX programming on some of them, especially the synth patches.

There's also an article I wrote at Roland-arranger.com, explaining how to use a couple of short RCA-1/4" cables, to be able to use the IFX (identical to the MFX section) on Tones in the Style and SMF section, as well as the regular Keyboard Parts. So, if you get wedded to a Tone for the style section that needs the MFX to make it shine, you can STILL do that (and it doesn't interfere with normal operation).

Hope this helps.

Cheers m8, yeah I had a quick look over that article...

I would like to use my own efx on guitars in midi songs and styles, as I don't really like the preset overdrive/distortion rom sounds.

So I will study it more closely. I do understand what you are saying in it, so I will get totally with the methodology.

Thanks also for the tip on the Upper1-MFX link..I will give that a go.

The more I get back into the G70, the more I can understand why players like you and Fran stick with it..It really is a good bit of gear

It's a tank! Built like a tank, weighs like a tank, punches like a tank!

Not a 'pretty' or subtle arranger, soundwise, but punchy and in your face like a tank! I use it because it holds its' own against some pretty strong live players and drummers. Something I have a harder time doing on other arrangers. They sound great all by themselves, but surround them with real ballsy live players, and it's harder to get your point across!

If you are happy with a multiple keyboard rig, the G70 and the MS is probably pretty potent...

Uncle Dave. I have seen it in the "for sale section". It depends on the price. But with shipping to Norway, and 25% sales tax it might be too much. But I would like to see what you want for it.
