I was very fortunate to download some Roland G70 styles many months back, but have been too busy to try them out. With a much needed vacation day, I was able to spend some time with those styles on my Tyros and I really, really, enjoyed the contemporary feel to them. They sounded very polished, very live, and very contemporary. I liked them so much, I'm going to make a point of going out and getting my hands on a G70 to try it out.

I can't believe all the negative threads on the G70 what with all those features and those terrific styles. I just have to try it out for myself.

Anyone else enjoy those styles as much as I did?

Al, I think some of the G70 styles are the best available.

Hi
If I understand correctly you played the G70 styles on the Tyros?
Did you use a style conversion program? Did you have to tweak the styles any?


It would be interesting to see how those styles sound on the G70 itself maybe it is the great sounds of the Tyros that’s making them sound good.


The G-70 is one of the most interesting boards there are just so many opposite opinions about it.

Maybe that is good because it makes a lot of us want to see and hear the keyboard for our selves and form our opinion and from a Roland point of view, buy one.

Hi Al
It's very, very nice to read such positive judgement about G-70 in this forum.
Best regards,

Al - I also downloaded the G70 styles converted for Tyros and I really like a number of these. There is one in particular that has become a current favourite. However - I still had to change the OTS voices to suit me and a couple of small tweaks to the styles to change some of the accompanyment voices and their volumes.

I agree that these are amongst the best converted styles around for the Tyros. I also tend to increase the presence of the drums in the mix but I do this with the standard Tyros styles as I also have Ketron equipment which I think has influenced my taste in styles.

Al

are any of those styles available for the 2100? I see in the tutorial that the G70 styles were removed!

thanks,
Jill

I think the G70's sounds were what some people did not appreciate.

I really hope you will get a chance to demo the G70 to hear how those styles sound with the G70 sounds and the G70 sounds in general, and give a review since you seem to have an open mind about the G70. Not withstanding the fact that you have a Yamaha Tyros.

I'm only a couple of weeks away from buying my G-70 (deposit paid). I also have a Tyros and a Roland Discover 5. Would anyone be able to forward the G-70 conversions for Tyros. It would be very useful to sometimes manage a gig with just the Tyros, but have the G-70 styles avalable too. Thanks in anticipation. Barnaby...
