Roland’s new RS-70 Synthesizer is designed so musicians can forget about MIDI and focus on playing. This model sports an all-new collection of CD-quality sounds, cool performance features and simple Direct Access buttons for selecting Patches -- all at an entry-level price. The RS-70 even includes a Loop Sequencer that takes the mystery out of multi-track recording.

Review - Feature:
Love the equencer - The easiest, but not the most powerful (works fine, though). Works like a simplified groovebox.Easy to navigate through sounds, and menus. And nice real time modifiers. Nice arpegiattor, too.
Quality:
Nicely constructed. Hate that joystick thingy from Roland, but ALL their keyboards have that. I think it will survive a few gigs (eh ehe)...
Value:
It could be a little less expensive. But I think is a very good workstation for the price. Maybe, I would try out a MOTIF, nowadays... A put some more money.
Desirability:
Not the "beautifullest", but very handy, with all the features I need for live and Studio purposes. Still not totally happy about the synthsis archtecture, though.
Sound:
the samples are excellent, mostly, but as far as synthesis, it could be mour powerful (just two tones per patch and just ONE global effect is poooooor...).
Support:
Can´t rate that. Never needed.
Overall:
Maybe, just maybe, I would spend some more and get the MOTIF. But I still recommend.
