G-70 Music Workstation
This function allows you to make quick changes to
certain settings. They always apply to entire tracks
(you cannot use GLOBAL CHANGE for just a few mea-
sures). You can apply global changes to the four edit-
able Style track parameters (EXPRESS, REVERB, PAN-
POT and CHORUS) when you notice that the effect is
too prominent or not strong enough.
You can also use it to “upgrade” older Music Styles to
ensure that they use the G-70’s new sounds. Be
aware, however, that Style tracks can neither use
HARMONIC BARS, nor SRX EXPANSION sounds.
TRACK (ADrums~Acc6, ALL)
Allows you to select the track you want to edit. Select “ALL”
to edit all tracks.
MODE
Allows you to select the mode of the pattern to be edited:
“Major”, “minor”, “7th” or “ALL”.
DIVISION
Use this parameter to select the Division (or pattern) you
want to edit: Intro 1~4, Main 1~4, Fill Dwn 1~3, Fill Up 1~
3, End 1~4 ALL.
INIT VALUE
Press this field to reset all values on this page to their initial
state if you want to start again.
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. These are “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. Select “---” if the current setting must not
change.
CC32 (---, 0~127, ALL)—This control change is the so-
called “LSB” bank select message. Select “---” if the cur-
rent setting must not change.
PC (1~128)—Use this parameter to change the address,
a.k.a. program change number, of a sound (e.g. from “1”
to “2”).
INC/DEC
These are so-called “relative changes”: the positive or nega-
tive value you set here is 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).
Expression, Panpot Reverb, Chorus (–127~127)—These
parameters allow you to add (+) or subtract (–) a given
value to/from the current 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.
EXECUTE
Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the
data.
SHIFT CLOCK allows you to shift the notes of the
selected FROM/TO range. See page 170 for details.
TRACK (ADrums~Acc6, ALL)
Allows you to select the track you want to edit. Select “ALL”
to edit all tracks.
MODE
Allows you to select the mode of the pattern to be edited:
“Major”, “minor” or “7th”.
DIVISION
Use this parameter to select the Division (or pattern) you
want to edit: Intro 1~4, Main 1~4, Fill Dwn 1~3, Fill Up 1~
3, End 1~4.
DATA TYPE
Allows you to select the data to be edited. See the list on
page 193.
VALUE (–1920~1920)
This parameter sets the amount by which the notes are
shifted. The value refers to CPT units (one CPT= 1/120 q).
Note: Notes on the first beat of the first bar cannot be shifted
further to the left (that would mean shifting them to the “0”
measure, which doesn’t exist).
EXECUTE
Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.
