Verdict: in style section Roland did one step forward and another step backward.
Tomorrow I will try to load old VA-76 styles to this beast. With Cover feature it should add diversity to the arranger.

Hi,
isn't it funny, Roland included a lot of tools on G-70 to provide the possibility building an
individual Instrument, but some user don't like to work with. Remember: It's called:
'Workstation'. I think there are a lot of Keyboards, people can buy with less money, of cource
without that tools. Some words about the VA styles: I find out, there are a lot of that styles
within the G-70, but all of them have a different name. LIsten to 11 Styles of Bossa/Samba
group named 'Sweet Bossa' to 'Piano Latin' for instance and you will hear the same musical
variations. The two Inro/Endings of the VA Instruments are now Intro/Ending three and four.
Intro one you can use also as a break because it's always one bar drums. During running
Intro/Ending two you can play your own chords to match your song. (Not written down
in the manual) Indeed, the styles sounds much better, making a good basic preparation.
I think, basic rhythm guitar has normaly to play the same within the four Variations of a style.
If you don't like it you can change the style within milliseconds beginning at the next bar.
(Please fix the tempo). I own my G-70 three weeks. And I can tell you: "I like it from day to
day more and more". Regards: Hanspeter
