The G-70’s Guitar Mode is so authentic, it will take your (and your audience’s) breath away! The Guitar Mode is also an invaluable programming tool for live-feel guitar phrases in your Standard MIDI Files and Music Styles (available in 16-Track Sequencer and the User Style Composer modes). Style Converter Turn any Standard MIDI File into a fully functional Music Style. The G-70’s Style Converter is an easy and intuitive tool for creating your own Music Styles based on one of your own Songs or a Standard MIDI File created by someone else. Make Up Tools Freeze Function It allows you to save your Song and Style changes for universal SMF compatibility, and more flexible Song and Style editing. Arranger settings Melody Intelligence This function has become more flexible: selecting a Harmony Type also means that the G-70 automatically assigns a suitable sound to the Melody Intelligent part (examle : a trumpet and sax sounds for Big Band, etc.). By default, the G-70 automatically loads the Melody Intelligent type that is suited for the Styles you select. Roland SR-G01 Upgrade Kit Drum Kits & Drum Loops The SR-G01 contains 6 new Drum Kits and 11 Drum Loops. Thanks to the G-70’s Auto Sync capability (one of the new features of the OS system version 2), the audio loops on the SR-G01 run in sync with any in 16-Track Sequencer Song and Music Style you assign them to. Since these loops are audio, player's subtle dynamics and groove feels are captured. The addition of audio phrases constitutes a major leap forward for the entire Arranger Keyboard world. Roland’s Sounds The SR-G01 is a special selection of sounds picked from the Roland library for Arranger Keyboard Users. Apart from a selection derived from the SRX-series wave expansion boards, it also sports all-new waveforms.
