■General procedure
To change information already available on the
selected track, proceed as follows:
(1) Use the [ß][†] buttons or the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial to
select the list entry you want to edit.
The name of the selected parameter appears in the
upper right-hand corner of the display:
(2) Press the DATA ENTRY [®] button to select the
(first) value.
(3) Modify the value:
• Rotate the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial to set the desired
value. —or—
• Set the value using the [DEC]/[INC] buttons. —or—
• Press the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and enter the value
using the numeric pad that appears in the display.
If you choose to work with the numeric pad, proceed
as follows:
• Press the numeric button icons to enter the desired
value. (Use [Delete] to delete the last figure you
entered.)
• Press the [+10%] or [–10%] field to increase or
decrease the current value by 10%.
• Press [ENTER] to confirm the value.
—or—
Press [CLOSE] to close the numeric pad window with-
out changing the value.
(4) Press the DATA ENTRY [®] button to select the next
value and change it.
(5) When you’re done, press the [Back] field to return
to the main Sequencer page and save your song.
The parameters you can change are:
● Note and velocity messages—These messages always
come in pairs (see the illustration of step (2) above). The
first value (“Note Number 127 G9”) refers to the note
itself, and the second (“On Velocity 127”) to the velocity
(playing dynamics).
The MICRO EDIT page adds a third message to that pair
(“65535”). It describes the duration of the note in ques-
tion. You may remember this value from the TRACK EDIT
environment, where it is called “Gate Time”.
● Control Change—These messages usually add some-
thing to the notes being played, like modulation, a dif-
ferent volume, a new stereo position… The G-70 recog-
nizes (and allows you to edit) all available control change
numbers (CC00~127) and displays their “official” name
wherever possible (not all control change numbers have
universally accepted functions). The value can be set
between from “0” to “127”.
● Program Change—These messages are used for select-
ing sounds within the current bank (1~128).
● Pitch Bend—These messages are used for temporary
changes to the pitch of the notes being played at that
time. Pitch Bend messages can be positive (higher) or
negative (lower). Setting range: –128~128.
● Poly Aftertouch—This refers to aftertouch messages the
G-70’s does not generate (it uses channel aftertouch). Its
sound source recognizes them, however. The difference
between polyphonic aftertouch and channel aftertouch
is that the former is related to a single note, while the
latter applies to all the notes the track is currently play-
ing.
● Channel Aftertouch—See above. These messages are
generated by the G-70’s keyboard.
After selecting the entire line of a note event, you can
press and hold the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial to play the note
(it will be held until you release the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial).
If you press the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial after selecting
another kind of event (control change, aftertouch, pro-
gram change, etc.), that value is memorized by the
G-70’s tone generator ad used for the following note
event you play back. To reset such an event, select
another occurrence (with a different value) and press
the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial yet again.
