I went back to Medley Music again..this time I brought my sidekick with me[Donny}..

Giving that I already spent a few hours prior[last week]..I was able to help Donny get started and check out the things he was most interested in....funny thing, while looking over Donny's shoulder[he was hogging the play time], I was able to explore more options and features. Namely edits, make and cover features, one touch features, and most important to me the control of every aspect of the G70 using the sliders as data controllers..

Diki was right, getting into the operating system[even though menu driven] is really easy to use,,After another 2-3 hours, we were to a point..Go out and do a job[without fear]....right out of the box..
The possibilities are endless with this board..
As for the sounds..even though I know many of the sounds from my DisCover5...they are without a doubt...audibly better coming from the G70..I am not sure why..but they are!!!

There is not a weakness on this board..Everything it does..It does..Great..

Before we finally left the store, we were flying around on the G70 like it has been with us for months..

Donny had a look of amazement on his face when he used the vocal harmonizer...Believe me it is that good!!!

The styles as mentioned before are the best I have heard or used...Access to changes with makeup and cover tools is like having 30 or more variations with in a single style.

I also would like to add..This G70 performed flawlessly..no glitches or unwanted sounds...

Gone from realtime arranger play and sequence play is as quick and easy as the G1000....The overall sound quality is no contest..the G70 is far superior to the G1000...[does this give you an idea how much I love this board ]...

I will leave some topics for Donny to comment on late tonight[after his Dance Party]..

If he doesn't get to some of the other"I want it now" features , I will elaborate more....


I want one, I don't think I will wait to check out the E80....

So Fran, you have finally found your "Holy Grail"?

Ian

Glad you like the G70 Fran, go and treat yourself, part exchange the G1000

Hi Fran

Your right. Thats what a couple of G-70 owners including my self, have tried to tell the SZ members the last year. The G-70 is a super keyboard.
I have played the Tyros2 for 2 months now and its a very good sounding keyboard, but the G-70 is the winner.

Regards Niels

Craig as Chas eluded to "b. when I have the money"....No part change here though...The G1000 still has a home...Even when I get the G70.

When we had our second child , we still kept the first..same with our 3rd and 4th....See, they call that a family...

The 1st cousin will be available though[DisCover 5].......

Fran's in love. Happy you've finally found (at last) a keyboard which pleases you (as much?) as the G1000 has. Ok, time to go make music and record a song on the G70 for us to hear. Congratulations. - Scott

Fran its a pity it doesnt havd dedicated buttons for each fill in. One nice thing about it is u can add an srx board. I hope u get one soon.

Roland Fan ..it does, by pushing the same button as the variation will trigger dedicated fills .

Scott, I will have to be patient[funds] I am still completing a $90,000 addition to my home...

Maybe I should start a benefit.."Help Fran get a G70"..

Chas, it's not that I am always in your "b" group. I go through as many keyboards as anyone I know...for more than 20 years..
I just set priorities, and do what ever I want..

So when does Donny expect to pick up his G-70, and is his T2 on Ebay yet?

Hmmm. Uncle Dave's no longer selling cars, so . . . let me see, who's swapping who's (Donny, Fran, UD's ) current keyboard(s), and who ends up with the G-70?! - Scott
