Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the SR-G01 “G-70 Upgrade Kit” Expansion Board, specially designed

for Roland arranger instruments that have an expansion slot for SRX-series boards.

This expansion board contains a selection of totally new sounds as well as sounds taken from Roland’s acclaimed SRX

library (SRX-03, SRX-05, SRX-07, SRX-08, etc.) and other Roland instruments. There are 76 Tones (available to all sections)

and 6 Drum Sets.

Along with piano, electric piano, organ, and electric guitar sounds, this board also features numerous vintage synth and

bass sounds available to all Keyboard parts (Upper 1/2/3, Lower 1/2, Manual Bass) as well as the Style and Song parts.

* The parameter settings for the Tones and Drum Sets are optimized for Roland arrangers released in or after 2005. In the case of

the G-70 Music Workstation (released in late 2004), be sure to first install system version 2 if your instrument still uses an older

version.

* Roland does not recommend using this board with other instruments fitted with SRX slots (Fantom, XV, RD series, etc.). The

SR-G01 is intended for arranger instruments and will not yield the expected results when used with a synthesizer or module that

does not contain an arranger function.
