Hi folks,

got my G-70 3 days ago as replacement for my olde G-800. Nice to have keyboard, although some things may still need some attention and work from the developers at Roland (don't want to discuss here, everything's said in some older threads...).

There are a few things where an more experienced G-70 user may help me please:

1. I can't find a setting to get the Upper1 / 2 and so on sounds changed by the recorder. Playing a song (SMF) with the G-70 from the internal memory "program change" events are ignored by the keyboard (they should change the sound I can play on upper1/2 etc.).

The G-800 behaved this way. The instrument on channel 4 could be played on upper 1, channel 6 on upper 2 and so on.

Interestingly the G-70 behaves right if I play the SMF on my computer with G-70 as sound module - the upper1 part changes, even with showing the right tone on the display.

Is there a possibility to get this working the "old fashioned way" or do i have to set up user programs with song links for every single song, which are quite some - and all optimized for G-800?! I think there is a setting somewhere in the midi-section which I and maybe the german instruction manual also :-) missed..?

2. Any Roland insider here who has maybe a glimpse of rumours about a new version of RDBM which works with the G-70?

thanks
Christoph
