Choosing User Programs manually
The procedure for selecting User Programs does not fol-
low the usual routine for selecting Music Styles or
sounds. So please carefully read the following.
(1) Press the [USER≈PROGR] field on the main page.
Note: If the currently displayed User Program was loaded with
the User Program Finder, the G-70 now displays the USER
PROGRAM FINDER page where you can select another regis-
tration in the internal memory or on a card a card. To work
with User Programs of the currently active Set List…
Alternatively, press the USER PROGRAM [SET¥LIST]
button.
The display changes to:
(2) Use the [P] fields and [˚] to select the page (1~18)
where you want to save your registration.
(3) Press a big field [1]~[8] to select the destination
memory.
–OR–
Press a numeric button [1]~[8] to select the corre-
sponding memory (the button you pressed lights).
You can also use these buttons without first pressing
[SET¥LIST] to select one of the User Programs on the
last page you selected. If you only press a numeric
button, the page shown above does is not displayed.
–OR–
Press the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and enter the number
(shown at the right edge of a field) using the on-
screen numeric pad.
You will notice that each User Program also has a
fixed number that allows you to select it without
“turning pages”.
Sometimes, an asterisk (*) is displayed. This happens
when you change a parameter setting after recalling
a User Program to alert you to the fact that the cur-
rent settings no longer correspond to the ones you
recalled. If you like them better than the original set-
tings, you must save them again. See page 111.
Note: By pressing the numeric button of the memory with the
asterisk once again, you restore the original settings of that
memory (thus cancelling any changes you have made).
Selecting User Programs with
[DOWN]
[UP]
The following method is especially useful if you pro-
grammed two or more User Programs for a song or if
the User Program sequence corresponds exactly to the
song sequence you are about to play (i.e. settings of the
first song or song part in memory [1] on page “1”, set-
tings of the second song or song part in [2] on page “1”,
etc.).
With [DOWN] or [UP], you always select the preceding
or following User Program.
[UP] Selects the following User Program (for example
[8]/P1 if you selected [7]/P1 before pressing this but-
ton).
[DOWN] Selects the preceding User Program (for
example [6]/P1 if you selected [7]/P1 before pressing
this button).
Note: If you press [UP] after selecting [8]/P18, your G-70 will
call up [1]/P1. Likewise, if you press [DOWN] after selecting [1]/
P1, your G-70 will call up [8]/P18, and so on.
Note: User Programs can also be selected using an optional
footswitch connected to the FOOT SWITCH socket on the rear
panel. See “User Program Up, User Program Down” on p. 68.
Working with the User Program Finder
Your G-70 also allows you to load any User Program
from the internal memory or a memory card, which is
as fast as working with a User Program Set List. As
stated above, any registration you “write” is saved as a
separate User Program file in the memory area that
contains the currently active Set List. All User Programs
referenced by a Set List therefore necessarily reside in
the same memory area as the list itself.
There may be times, however, when somebody from the
audience asks you to play a given song, for which you
did prepare a User Program – but maybe in a com-
pletely different Set List. Rather than loading another
SET LIST
