The instructions on the CD ROM say to delete the contents of the G-70 "UPDATE" folder before copying the new update folder to it. It contains 20 or so files of several GB each(not KB).

Please advise

Bernie

That CD will be of the old OS. You need to get the official OS3.00 update and new (reworked) styles from Roland Keyboard Club
http://www.rolandkeyboardclub.com/v/OS_updater_G70_3.php

And follow the instructions carefully...

The best upgrade for the G70 is a PA800 !

Bernie, You can also call John @ Roland US Customer Support @ 323-890-3744. He will send you the update on CD for FREE ! He will also talk you through the whole process if you like.

You might want to save this number for future questions. The guy is a WHIZ !!!

Happy Playing
Scott

I upgraded per instructions with plenyy of capacity. It got down to the last 20 sec and full destination message appeared. It asked for another disk, and I pressed retry. It said DJ something could not be copied. It ended and the G-70 went from writing to the normal screen. I checked the ver, and it still says 2.02 but the available memory is down to 202KB.

It sure has a bunch of something in there, so don't think the upgrade was aborted. Not only that, but in trying some of the 299 styles they say that were polished,in my estimation, they couldn't be better.

Is it possible that it is upgraded, but the version didn't change because it was not quite completed ?

It sounds that good even on one CS30. I can't wait to haul out my Bose tomorrow.

Thanks Diki, one would have to pry this from my cold dead hands.

Bernie

Bernie, Don would be glad to help. He upgraded this unit from the store before he shipped it to me.

Wow, that was a year ago. I put whatever the latest version was at the time. I just followed the directions. I don't recall having any problems updating it.
