The names of most available options are probably
clear to you, so we won’t explain them. Just one note:
[PROGRAM¥CHANGE] also includes the bank select
messages (CC00 and CC32) that are used for selecting
sounds. See page 200 for the [ALTERATION¥MODE]
message type.
Press [ALL] to switch on all button icons, or [NONE] to
switch them all off, in which case the STYLE MICRO
EDIT list only contains the “End of Data” message,
which is probably not what you need.
Press [CLOSE] to close the pop-up window without
applying your changes.
General procedure
To change information already available on the
selected track, proceed as follows:
(1) Select the TRACK, MODE and DIVISION by pressing
the corresponding fields and using the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
(2) Press anywhere in the white area to assign that
area to the DATA ENTRY section.
(3) 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.
(4) Press the DATA ENTRY [®] button to select the
(first) value.
(5) 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.
(6) Press the DATA ENTRY [®] button to select the next
value and change it.
(7) When you’re done, press the [Back] field to return
to the main STYLE COMPOSER page, then save your
Style.
The parameters you can change are:
Note and velocity messages—These messages always
come in pairs. 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.
It describes the duration of the note in question. You
may remember this value from the TRACK EDIT environ-
ment, 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 setting, a new stereo position… The G-70
recognizes (and allows you to edit) all control change
numbers the Arranger uses (CC01, 10, 11, 91, 93) and
displays their “official” name.
Note: CC64 (Hold) events generated by a footswitch con-
nected to the HOLD FOOTSWITCH socket are converted into
the equivalent GATE TIME values at the time of recording.
You therefore need to change the duration of the notes
themselves.
Program Change—These messages are used to select
sounds within the current bank. As there are only 128
possibilities, these messages are usually preceded by
control changes CC00 and CC32. That’s why the G-70
inserts all three when you use the CREATE EVENT func-
tion.
Note: The CC00 value of ADrums tracks cannot be edited.
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.
Alteration Mode—This is a new event that allows you to
specify how the notes recorded for a Style track will be
used during Arranger playback. See below for details.
Note: This parameter is not available for ADrums tracks.
