Just use an external one!”

This is something I would like to know more about, as I have some nice drum kits in my Korg Triton and Sonic Cell (and even in the Yamaha SY-85) that could be used if I knew how to do it (I am not an expert on MIDI and any clarification would be nice).

Andrea, could you please elaborate a little bit more on the steps required to do this? Is this possible with the G70 as well? I would appreciate your time if you could give me some explanation on this issue.

Carlos,
the simplest thing you can do is
1- connect with a midi cable the midi output of the G-70 to the midi input of the Sonic Cell (I say the Sonic Cell because, being made by Roland like the G-70, should be the most compatible unit, but you could try the same thing with the Triton or the SY-85).
Then you should
2- press the Menu button of the G-70 and the "Midi" field on the touchscreen and choose "Midi" (and not USB) as the preferred output. At this point you should
3- enter the Midi Transmit menu and deselect all the channels except # 10 (which is the drum channel).
If you use the Sonic Cell, you are now more or less set; I don't know this module, so have no idea if it has a choice between Single and Multi modes, but if this is the case, choose "Multi". Start to play a style on the G-70 and raise the volume of the Sonic Cell until you hear the drums playing.
I don't know how the Sonic Cell switches between different drum sets, so it's better if you have a look at the manual, but at least -being manufactured by Roland- there should be no mismatch between notes (in other words you shouldn't hear a handclap playing instead of a hi-hat and so on, like could happen with the Triton and the SY-85).
I think that you should really look up the manual for more details, but I hope that at least now you have a basic understanding of how things work.
Please, don't hesitate to ask if you have more doubts.
Ciao
A.
