Four independant MIDI Outs allow for control of up to 64 MIDI channels, while optional Roland Voice Expansion boards give the affordable A-70 massive internal and external sonic flexibility.
An intuitive user interface and a host of dedicated buttons make even the most complex MIDI operation easy.
The same operation and powerful features of the A-90 have been brought into a more affordable, 76-note instrument.
Velocity- and Channel-Aftertouch Sensitivity and the "organ-touch" response found in Roland's G-800. A selectable velocity curve, 18 Controllers including aftertouch, a bender/modulation lever and wheels, and four onboard sliders allow maximum realtime sonic control.
Four independent MIDI outputs can control up to 64 MIDI channels, while independent control for eight zones - four external and four internal, or eight external sound source zones - ensures that the A-70 will easily handle the most complex MIDI rigs.
MIDI control flexibility is provided via four User Name maps and eight Preset Name maps, 64 Performance memories, 10 Chains and one Manual memory. MIDI connections include four MIDI OUTs, two MIDI INs, and one MIDI THRU.
The A-70 can be expanded with a variety of high-quality sounds from optional Roland VE-RD1 and VE-JV1 Voice Expansion Boards, allowing the A-70 to be used as a stand-alone professional stage keyboard.
The A-70 can use the VE Series Voice Expansion Boards to add sounds to its MIDI Controller capabilities.
