Squeak quote.." I was pretty shocked to hear the G-70 doesn't have dedicated user voice slots. "

Squeak, this is a typical misconception of abilities on a G70...

The G70 can edit tones..Vibrato(delay, depth, rate)
TVF/TVA (attack, decay, release)
TVF (resonance, cutoff)..

You can use and edit multiple effects..

And you can layer, velocity switch, as well as individual editing up to 6 tones for the "fattest" sound you will ever need..

Now the user saving of voices...that folks think do not exist...The G70 User program is as good as it gets...You can use the user programs as your user tone slots..Hold functions (your choices)..can lock out changes you do not desire..as styles, and many other holds...This allows you to use the user programs as your "voice slots"..


Now see if you can edit 6 tones ( up to 12 oscillators in Korg talk)..all edited to your own desire...BTW: the sliders make this a breeze...Setting them up with velocity switching, pedal control and multiple effects........On the Korg..

I think the G70 is just as capable if not more than the PA2x..

I am not trying to persuade you, I just wanted to enlighten folks the G70 can handle edits too..

And as DonM mentioned the lack of active breaks (sorta a fill) on the G70...needs to be originated from existing fills ( a very easy edit on the G70..just allow silent space in a existing style and re-save the style....and if you want the Roland "silent break"..assign the break to one of the dedicated writable buttons...
