2. Setting up and demo songs
You must be dying to try out your new G-70 to see what it is capable of. We’ll get to that in a minute. But first we need
to connect it.
Connections
The G-70 does not contain internal speakers. You therefore need to connect it to an external amplifier (Roland’s KC
series, for example), or use optional headphones (Roland RH-25, RH-50, or RH-200, for example).
Be sure to switch off both the G-70 and the external devices you want to connect before making or breaking audio and/
or MIDI connections. If you do not have access to the sound system of the venue where you are performing, ask the local
engineer to set the volume to the minimum level.
Note: Try to use dynamic microphones whenever possible. You can also connect a condenser microphone, however, provided you use a DI box
(with power supply).
Note: Except for the power cable, all other items shown above are optional. See your Roland dealer for details.
Note: There is no absolute need to connect the Vocal Harmonist OUTPUT sockets. If you don’t, your singing and the Harmonist effects will be
transmitted via the main MAIN sockets (ONLY if you don’t connect anything to the Vocal Harmonist OUTPUT sockets). If you use these connec-
tors, the Vocal Harmonist signals are no longer transmitted to the headphones.
