Song Link
This function means that, by recalling a User Program,
you also prepare the associated song. Such songs reside
in the internal memory or on a memory card and must
be available when you load such a User Program for
this system to work. All you need to do, then, is hit the
[PLAY÷STOP¥®÷ª] button to start playback of that song.
Your G-70 only memorizes the song name. If, at the
time you recall such a User Program, that song is not
available, the display will respond with:
Remove the memory card (because the internal mem-
ory is always available), insert the proper card and
select that User Program again. If you don’t, the G-70
will start playback of the previously loaded song when
you press [PLAY÷STOP¥®÷ª] again.
(1) Press the USER PROGRAM [SET¥LIST] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [SONG¥LINK] field.
If the User Program already contains a link to
another song, which you no longer need, press the
[DELETE¥SONG¥LINK] field. This is not necessary to
establish a new link – it is meant to cancel a link.
(3) Press [MAKE¥NEW¥SONG¥LINK].
The display changes to:
Note: Songs that also contain lyrics information are flagged
by means of an “ ” icon. The note ( ) means that the file in
question also contains Play & Search information.
See “Locating files with the Song Finder” on p. 140.
Bear in mind that the song data are not loaded into
the User Program memory.
(4) Press the field of the song you want to link to the
currently selected User Program.
(5) Press the [GET¥IT] field to establish the link to the
song whose name appears on an orange back-
ground.
This takes you back to the “User Program” page. The
selection field now contains a small “SONG” message.
On the main page, User Programs with a link to a
song are indicated by means of a paper clip icon.
Linking a MIDI Set to a User Program
MIDI Sets are “User Programs for MIDI parameters”.
There are eight such memories (page 220).
If you regularly use the G-70 in different MIDI environ-
ments (studio, live, band), preparing three MIDI Sets
and linking them to the User Programs you usually use
in the studio, on stage, etc., can be a time saver. In
other situations, such a link could be dangerous,
because it would reconfigure the G-70’s MIDI parame-
ters without you actually knowing it.
(1) Press the USER PROGRAM [SET¥LIST] button.
