I never had a R70 but a friend did and it sounded cool. sorry the one you got was so messed up. one of my drum machines is not working properly but i'm not trying to sell it off broken.
Yo, I'm hoping you can answer this because I've asked a bunch of people and no one can tell me. You say you're using it as a sound module so I'm thinking you probably can. I have an R8 and the problem with it is that the MIDI notes aren't set to the pads, they're set to the instruments, so if you have a sequence or external controller playing a sound like the kick and you swap out that kick on the R8, your sequence or controller doesn't play the new sound, it plays the old one because the MIDI note is connected to that specific sound. Looking at the manual it looks like the R70 now has a thing called "user drum sets" which, from the description, sounds like it might be more like what I want, which is to be able to have the MIDI notes controlling a kit and you can swap out pieces of that kit, the same way it works on the SR16 (which you also have). Can you tell me if that's how it works on the R70? Thanks in advance.
@@morrisman64 Awesome, I'd appreciate it. It's funny how much people apparently love these units but how few people actually seem qualified to tell you how they work. The manual even appears to have been written by someone who didn't really understand how people actually use MIDI in real life.
I have this machine bought it in 1992. and my play button went out and I don't bang on it. just old. but it is a gem.

I post a video Wednesday for you and cover this. Midi can be tricky but once set up right it's great thing.

@@masterchain3335 Your last line I totally agree poor manuals instructions.
Yo se programar la roland R70 perfectamente y suena muy bonita mejor que la roland R8
THAT'S FOUL
Indeed.
