Drumming on the keyboard

The G-70 also allows you to play drums and percussion
on the keyboard. If you have ever worked with an older
Roland arranger instrument, you may remember that
there used to be a part called “M.Drums” for playing
percussion phrases. This part no longer exists, because
any of the following Keyboard parts can be used for
drumming: UP1, UP2, UP3, LW1, LW2, and MBS.

(1) Press the TONE ASSIGN button of the part you

want to assign a Drum Set to (the button lights).

(2) Press the TONE [DRUMS] button.

(3) Press a field to select another Drum Set.

You may have to use the [PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥5] buttons
to jump to the page that contains the desired Drum
Set. After installing an SRX-series expansion board,
there may also be a [˚] field that allows you to jump
to additioal pages.

(4) Play a few notes on the keyboard.

Every key is assigned to a different drum/percussion
sound. Press the second “C” key from the left (C2) to
sound a bass drum (“kick”), and the white key to its
right (D2) to play a snare sound. Then, try out the
other keys.

(5) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.

Entries with an [EXP] icon to the right of their name
refer to sounds that reside on the SRX-series expan-
sion board you installed.
