Critic Reviews

Disco Tech (SOS Aug 92)

muzines.co.uk

The Roland DJ-70 impresses with its user-friendly sampling features and robust sonic capabilities, making it a top choice for DJs wanting to sample on the fly. Its engaging design includes a 3-octave keyboard and a scratch wheel, although the latter has been criticized for its sluggish response. While it lacks a SCSI port and has limited memory, the DJ-70 excels in live performance settings, offering intuitive sampling and looping. However, its utility as a studio sampler is limited due to its single stereo output and lack of advanced features like a hard drive. Despite these drawbacks, the DJ-70 remains an innovative tool for performance sampling.
