The Roland D-70 Super LA Synthesizer is a 76-key digital synthesizer produced from 1990 to 1994, which utilizes a mix of Linear Arithmetic (LA) synthesis and PCM samples, effectively acting as a powerful ROMpler with extensive real-time controls.
Key Features and Specifications:
The D-70 was marketed as the successor to the popular D-50 but is technically closer to the Roland U-20/U-220 series of sample playback instruments (ROMplers), with advanced filtering capabilities.
Synthesis Engine: Features advanced LA synthesis, combining digital ROM samples with "Differential Loop Modulation" (DLM) and powerful resonant Time-Variant Filters (TVF), Time-Variant Amplifiers (TVA), and Time-Variant Envelopes (TVE).
Keyboard: Equipped with a 76-note, full-size keyboard that is both velocity-sensitive and supports aftertouch, allowing for expressive playability.
Polyphony & Multitimbrality: Offers 30 voices of polyphony and is 6-part multi-timbral (five synth parts plus one percussion part).
Controls: Features a large backlit LCD screen, an alpha dial, and four real-time assignable sliders for parameters like cutoff, resonance, attack, and release, making it a capable performance and master keyboard.
Effects: Includes a built-in multi-effects processor with reverb, chorus, delay, and flanger.
Memory & Expandability: Comes with 128 patches and 128 tones internally. It also has two PCM card slots for expanding the sound library (compatible with U-220 series cards) and one RAM card slot for additional user data storage.
