No they can't. I have been trying the Roland 70 Styles, converted to Tyros, all day, and they really are fantastic, on a par with the Tyros styles. Walter.

I can't imagine what a mp3 file should do on a gig,
is it karaoke you're performing?
On a gig you're far more free to add a refrain or
whatever you like by live playing if the public are
in good mood and want you to. By use of sequensed
songs, midis or mp3 you're totally forced to follow
the playback all the time.

....of course if the mp3 are used as sampled sound
it's different.

Hi Peter ,
Unfortunately there is no MP3 record facility (atleast i haven't come across it yet ) so MP3 would be difficult - haven't manufacturers cottoned on to the fact mp3 recording means free marketing ?

Otherwise i would of been happy to have a go ...

Hi Tony,

That's a shame about Mp3's, never mind! If you discover anything either good, or bad, that is worth reporting, could you let us know Tony, any info you can provide is going to be so useful to anyone wishing to buy the G70

Do you happen to know if the .pdf Manual for the G70 is available for downloaded anywhere?

Kind regards

Peter

Probably coming here as soon as available: http://www.rolandus.com/support/product_manual.asp

Whats the problem Technics not interesting enough anymore that we have to turn this forum into another Roland site

Thanks Gunnar for the info, i'll keep the web site bookmarked.

I know this thread started by Tony is not Technics dedicated (many are not). I'm surprised anyone would be so petty though to feel the need to point it out.

I should have thought Tony's info is of great help to all thinking of buying a new keyboard.

Please keep us informed Tony about the G70

Kind regards

Peter

Well, better go "offtopic" within music and keyboardbrands
or do it by private and personal tragedies or happenings if
you ask me.
Specially now when we got "The Bar" to visit.

I just felt that now Tony has got out of Technics and his interests are elsewhere this thread was quickly digressing into a fully blown up Roland discussion and clearly there are enough of Roland forum sites within Synthzone and I am sure there are plenty of Roland owners that would be only too pleased to join in.

Come on Jonnie C

Tony has just bought a new keyboard and simply wished to share his delight, and afterall we can all learn from his valid comments. I think it very unfair that your attitude should simply be "bought a new keyboard well now go elsewhere"

I think you are being very unfair to him and have simply disrupted a very informative thread. If the G70 is of no interest to you then simply ignore the thread.

Kind regards

Peter
