TRACK EXCHANGE allows you to move the data of
the source track (left) to the destination track (right),
and –at the same time– the data of the destination
track to the source track, thus replacing the two
tracks.
TRACK (1~16)
This is where you select the two tracks to be exchanged.
Obviously, there is no ALL option here.
TRACK (1~16)
This is where you select the two tracks to be exchanged.
Obviously, there is no ALL option here. This track cannot be
set to the same number as the above.
Note: Be careful when exchanging a drum track and a “musi-
cal” track. The result may not be what you had in mind.
The G-70’s sequencer uses one track called “MASTER”
for each song. It is used for recording the time signa-
ture, the tempo, as well as general SysEx messages that
apply to all song tracks.
Note: You can only edit the MASTER track of songs that already
exist, so be sure to load a song before attempting to edit its MAS-
TER track.
(1) If necessary, select and load a (different) song.
This is not necessary if you want to edit the song you
have just recorded or played back. See “Working with
the Song Finder” on p. 140 (or page 38) for how to
load a song.
(2) Press the [16-TRACK¥SEQUENCER] button.
The display changes to:
(3) Press the [MASTER¥TRACK] field in the right col-
umn.
This page lists all events already present on the MAS-
TER track. It allows you to modify the existing data,
to delete data you do not need, and to add informa-
tion that seems to be missing.
Note: To leave this page, either press the [Back] field (return to
the sequencer’s main page) or the [EXIT] button (return to the
G-70’s main page).
The MASTER track of each Standard MIDI File con-
tains at least the following information:

To avoid unpleasant surprises, be sure to save your
song before editing the MASTER track.
Editing existing events
Tempo: This is the “Tempo Change” value located
at 1-01-000. It specifies the song’s tempo.
(It cannot be erased.)
Time signature: This is the “Beat Change” value located at
1-01-000. It specifies the song’s tempo. (It
cannot be erased.)
SysEx: The “SysEx” string located close to the
beginning of the song. It tells the sound
source what format is being used, how
the effects processors should be set
(types, parameter settings), etc.
Song length: The “End of Data” value refers to the posi-
tion of the last event (which can be
located on any track) and thus to the end
of the song. This value cannot be edited
manually. You can, however, extend the
song by inserting MASTER track events
after this position, by recording additional
data, or by inserting blank measures
(page 165).
