access to more in-depth G-70 functions you may
only wish to set from time to time.

EXIT button
Press this button to return to the previously selected
display page, or the G-70’s main page.
T
Assignable sliders
These sliders can be used as virtual drawbars (when
the [HARMONIC¥BAR] button lights). In that case,
refer to the footage indications above the sliders for
their specific function (page 33).
Note: The HARMONIC BAR function is only available for the
following parts: UP1, LW1, and MBS.
Then, there are three buttons that allow you to spec-
ify the part group whose settings you want to
change: [PART] (Keyboard parts), [STYLE] (arranger
parts) and [SONG] (recorder parts).
The TYPE buttons, finally, are used to select the
parameter that can be changed using the sliders
(reverb or chorus send level, stereo position, or vol-
ume).
U
TEMPO section
[METRONOME] button: Press this button to switch
the internal metronome on or off.
The remaining buttons allow you to set the tempo of
the metronome, the Arranger or the recorder/
sequencer.
V
DATA ENTRY section
The dial can be used to set the value of the parameter
field that is currently highlighted. Turn it to scroll
through the available settings. You can also press it
to call up a numeric key pad that allows you to enter
the desired value by pressing the corresponding fields
in the display.
To change the selected value in small steps, press
[DEC] (lower value) or [INC] (higher value). The
[ß][†][®][√] buttons are used to select a parameter for
editing (something you can also do by pressing the
corresponding display field).
While the main page is displayed, the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial and [DEC]/[INC] buttons also allow you to set the
tempo.
W
EASY SETTING section
This key pad allows you to reconfigure the G-70 by
pressing just one button: [ARR] (use the Arranger in
split mode), [ORGAN] (the name says it all), and
[PIANO] (assign a piano sound to the entire key-
board). See also page 56.
X
FINDER section
Press one of these buttons to quickly locate songs
([SONG]), Music Styles ([STYLE]) or User Programs
([USER¥PRG]) in the internal memory (SSD), on floppy
disk or an external memory card. See pages 38, 86
and 113.
Y
KBD MODE section
Press the [SPLIT] button if you want to play different
sounds with your left and right hands (page 56). (It is
even possible to add a second split point, see
page 90.)
