Roland RS-70 Synthesizer

Keyboard Gear

Start with an all-new collection of CD-quality waveforms that nail everything from acoustic piano and Rhodes to strings and brilliant synth sounds. Make sure you can program your own sounds, too, with the bundled RS editor software. Next, include a sound-based sequencer that makes powerful multitracking a simple tool that anyone can use. Finally, design the controls and synth functions for performing musicians and load it with extras like MIDI, V-LINK, a floppy drive, and an improved D-Beam controller that allows fading, volume, and timbre changes. When you add it up, what you get is the RS-70: an affordable way to get serious sounds and cool performance tools. This 61-key synthesizer with 20-character, 2-line LCD packs 64 voices, 16 multitimbral parts, 64MB memory, 47 multi-effects, and a phraser/arpeggiator. I/O includes stereo 1/4" outputs, headphone jack, hold and control pedal jacks, MIDI connection, and a USB port. Works with PC/Mac.
