You are worrying about nothing. Converting to USB storage won’t improve it one iota (even if it could be done)..!

If you can get a right one it can support SD cards up to 2GB.
However the speed will not affected, because it's limited by the PCMCIA bus.

Speed is not an issue, the card storage is as fast as the internal. The cards and adapter are still widely available. If it were something like a zip drive or a 5 1/2” floppy, hard to find and delicate, I would say yes, you might need to move on. But the card system in the G70 is robust, reliable, and up to date.

On an Roland E-80, the procedure is:
1. Press Menu button
2. Press USB Data Storage
3. Press External Memory
Now the in the Arranger working card should be recognized by the usb connected PC as a Mass Storage device.

I am trying to access data from the computer to transfer onto the G-70's internal memory. It appears that I transfer, but then, I can't find it on my piano. I also tried a 4 gb CF card with adapter, but this too doesnt show up on my computer (perhaps the card is too big?). I have a Mac, and have followed the directions on page 211 midimanuals.com/manuals/roland/g-70/owners_manual/g-70_om.pdfDiki wrote: Are you trying to access the external data from a computer, or from the arranger itself?

The card MUST always be formatted in the Roland Arranger itself.
It is mandatory that when adding files, those must be put in the specific "Put New .... Here" folders.
This is due to the used files database system of the Roland Arranger.
Attached extra information.

Thanks, I put the new style into the "put new styles here" folder, but couldn't access it - neither via USB and nor via PCMCIA. I also formatted my card (page 209 of manual), as you suggested but no dice.Willem52 wrote: The Roland G-70 and E-80 can use till 4GB capacity CompactFlash memory with a PCMCIA adapter.

Yes I dragged and dropped it into the "put new styles here" folder.

Yes, of course. The screen said "writing." Then, it allowed me to disconnect, though I first ejected via Mac, as per instructions, then disconnected on g70.Fran wrote: After you dragged the files into "put here", you must allow the G70 the time to redo the "data base".. depending on content this can take several minutes.. It will show the activity on the G70 touch screen.
