I think my Roland tech told me the cost of my replacement boards if I was outside warranty would have easily been $1200+ 😱 In fairness, it's the main motherboard, so a large part of the $3500 I paid for the G70 new... If you can find an excellen

Sometimes gear has a "diagnostic mode" where you hold certain buttons during boot and the instrument will diagnose itself. The service manuals that describe these procedures are closely held by authorized service centers and not usually re

There is no reason to replace caps without knowing exactly what the problem is, you could be creating more problems in addition to what you already have. Plus Techs don't like to repair things that inexperienced folks monkeyed around with... The be

I just took a look back in our archives for that period. But I can't find a post I may have written about it. At that time I mostly participated in the RolandG70.com forum, which I think morphed into the Roland-arranger.com forum, both now sadly long

I had a BSOD (blue screen of death!) early on when I first got my G70 (still under warranty) and I hate to tell you this, but they swapped out the entire motherboard and I think power supply to fix it 😱 Now, it WAS under warranty and parts were s

¡Viva España! My entry into solo work came fairly late, I was in pro bands for decades before starting to play solos and duos. So my whole approach to playing revolves around how I'd play a song if I were still in a band. And that means needing tw

Thanks Diki for your inspirational advice. Keep it coming ! In terms of new keyboards the grass was always greener. From my electronic accordion days (before midi was invented) I think my first decent professional keyboard was a Roland E20. Th

If you have an iPad, Roland make a free editor app which allows you to fully edit all the Keyboard Parts. Including selecting MFX, editing MFX, EQ's etc. Now, while this won't work on the Song Parts, you might be able to record its output (use throu

Thank you Diki, let me try your first suggestion with the make up tools. The second one is a little complicated for me. I was hoping that there might be a "code" that would bring up the MFX at the beginning of the SMF, like some of those

There's a couple of ways to do this. A lot depends on your MIDI and 16 Track Sequencer settings before you start to record. It's all a bit clunky, as the BK9 isn't really set up well to integrate with an external sequencer. But the EASIEST way to ad

My pleasure, Bobby. I too tended to hold onto an arranger through several model changes, preferring familiarity and mastery over a few minor additions each new model. My whole arranger path has been only three instruments . G1000, G70, BK9. Over 28

Maybe where you come from, Bill. Over here, we got acts that use audio, acts that use SMF's, acts that use styles, and there's ZERO difference in audience recognition. You know what the audience DOES listen to (and it’s going to hurt!)..? The sing

Thanks guys . Lots of thoughtful input in your posts.Yes when i used Styles more as when I was doing gigs I did edit them. Replace instruments, mute parts, adjust volume and EFX. Mostly to get more punch and simplicity so they wouldn't sound so "
