G-70 Music Workstation
You need to give your song two names: a SONG
NAME, and a FILE NAME. The FILE NAME is the one
that allows the G-70 to recognize your song.
(3) Press the [SONG¥NAME] button icon.
(4) Enter the name:
• Move the cursor to the desired position using [ø] and
[˚].
• Enter the character for that position using the alpha-
numeric keypad. In many instances, you will have to
press the desired field several times to select the
desired character.
• Use the [A/a] field to alternate between capitals and
small letters.
• Press the [Delete] field to delete the character indi-
cated by the cursor. Press and hold it to clear all
characters.
• Press [Space] to insert a space.
• Press [Insert] to insert a character at the current posi-
tion. All characters behind this position move one
position further to the right.
(5) Press the [FILE¥NAME] field and enter the file name.
See p. 86 for details. Here, you can enter 18 charac-
ters. All characters will be capitals.
(6) If you also want to add Finder information, press
the [ARTIST] and [GENRE] fields and enter the
desired characters.
See “Working with the Song Finder” on p. 140 for
details about the Song Finder.
Note: These two indications are not available for files you save
to floppy disk.
(7) Press the [EXECUTE] field to save your song.
The display tells you that the data are being saved,
after which it returns to the “SAVE SONG” page.
(8) Press the [EXIT] or the RECORDER
[16-TRACK¥SEQUENCER] button to return to the
main page.
Editing 16-track songs
Easy editing and useful functions
After recording a track, you may want to do some
touching up. Here are some easy things you can do. See
“Editing one or several tracks (TRACK EDIT)” on p. 160
for more elaborate functions.
■Muting tracks
Sometimes, when recording rhythmically intricate
parts, it may be necessary to mute already recorded
parts that might distract you. To do so, return to the
16-track Sequencer’s main page, press the [MUTE]
field and then the tracks you don’t want to hear.
Such tracks are flagged with an “M”.
This setting is not saved. Press the [MUTE] field again
to switch off the function.
Note: The MUTE function is not available while the SOLO func-
tion is switched on.
■Solo
If you need to listen to a track in isolation, press the
[SOLO] field and the field of the track you want to
solo, and start playback. This mutes all other tracks,
while the selected track is flagged with an “S”. You
can also select the track to be soloed using the [ß][†]
buttons.
Press the [SOLO] field again to switch off the func-
tion of the same name.
■Song Cover and Song Makeup Tools
The G-70 does not recognize changes made to a song
using the SONG MAKEUP TOOLS function. The 16-
track Sequencer only “sees” the original song data –
not the changes introduced by the SONG MAKEUP
TOOLS functions.
Editing one or several tracks (TRACK EDIT)
The TRACK EDIT level of the 16-track Sequencer pro-
vides 12 functions: Quantize, Erase, Delete, Copy, Insert,
Transpose, Change Velo, Change Gate Time, Merge, Glo-
bal Change, Shift Clock and Track XChange. There is also
a MICRO EDIT environment that allows you to add,
delete or change individual events. See page 175 for
details.
Here’s some information that may help you decide
whether to use a TRACK EDIT or the MICRO EDIT func-
tion: if you don’t need to see the events you want to
change, choose a TRACK EDIT function. If the TRACK
