Editing 16-track songs
G-70 Music Workstation

This function allows you to make quick changes to
certain settings. The change always applies to entire
tracks (you cannot use GLOBAL CHANGE for just a
few measures). Designed to help you prepare a Stan-
dard MIDI File, it is a wonderful tool for the following
applications:
• “Upgrading” older Standard MIDI Files to take advan-
tage of the G-70’s new sounds.
• Global changes to the Reverb and/or Chorus Send
values, which is very convenient when you suddenly
notice that the effect is too prominent or not strong
enough.
■TRACK (ALL, 1~16)
Allows you to select the track you wish to edit. You can
also select “ALL” here, in which case the operation applies
to all tracks.
■INIT VALUE
Press this field to reset all values on this page to their initial
state if you want to start again.
You will notice that there are two kinds of changes that
can be performed on this page: FROM/TO and INC/DEC.
■FROM/TO
Enter the original data value (i.e. the value that is being
used right now by the selected track(s)) in the FROM col-
umn. For TO, specify the new value that should replace the
FROM value. This is what we call “absolute” changes: you
don’t add or subtract values, you replace them with other
values. This system is only available for messages that allow
you to select sounds or sound banks, namely:
● CC00 (---, 0~127, ALL)—This control change is the so-
called “MSB” Bank Select message. It allows you to select
the Capital Tone (select “0”) of a sound address if you
don’t want to use variations, or to select another varia-
tion level. The TO value “CC00= 0” can be useful for
ensuring GM compatibility, which (unlike GM2 or the GS
format) does not support tone variations. Select “---” if
the current setting must not change.
In the Tone lists, you will see that most sounds are varia-
tions. The value “8” for CC00 is probably the most popu-
lar one (as you would discover if you studied the list of
1596 Tones).
To change any value for CC00 to “8”, for example, enter
“CC00= ALL” for FROM and “CC00= 8” for TO. To change
all occurrences of the CC00 value “8” to another value
(e.g. “16”), enter “8” for FROM and “16” for TO.
Note: To use a sound on the optional SRX-series wave
expansion board you installed, set CC00 to “93” and see
page 228.
● CC32 (---, 0~127, ALL)—This control change is the so-
called “LSB” Bank Select message. Select “---” if the cur-
rent setting must not change.
Note: References to the sounds of an SRX wave expansion
board can be changed by setting CC00 to “93” and CC32 to
the value that lets you access the desired group of sounds.
See page 228 for details.
● PC (---, 1~128, ALL)—Use this parameter to change the
address, a.k.a. program change number, of a sound (e.g.
from “1” to “2”). Select “---” if the current setting must
not change.
■INC/DEC
These are so-called “relative” changes: the positive or nega-
tive value you set here will be added to or subtracted from
the original values of the selected track(s). Use these fields
to increase or decrease the existing values for the entire
selected track(s).
● Volume, Expression, Panpot, Reverb, Chorus (–127~
127)—These parameters allow you to add (+) or subtract
(–) a given value to/from the current Volume, Expression,
Pan, Reverb Send or Chorus Send values. This may come
in handy if the realtime changes you recorded turn out
to be too high or too low.
