ments. There is thus no need to transmit the note
messages of what you play in the chord recognition
area (the NTA notes).
■1ST CHANNEL RX/2ND CHANNEL RX
● CHANNEL—NTA notes can be received on two MIDI
channels, so that you could control the G-70’s Arranger
using a MIDIfied accordion (FR-7 or FR-5) or any other
instrument capable of sending note data (or data used to
control the accompaniment) on two channels. Either
channel can be switched off using its [ON÷OFF] field.
Note: You cannot assign the same MIDI channel to 1 & 2
Channel Rx.
■1ST CH LIMIT, 2ND CH LIMIT (C-~G9)
These parameters allow you to set the note range to be
received. If not all note messages of the selected MIDI
channel should be received by the NTA “part”, set the range
to the desired values.
Note: The LOW LIMIT value cannot be higher value than HIGH
LIMIT (and vice versa).
When you select “V-LINK” on the [SYSTEM] page, the
display changes to:
Here, you can only set TX parameters (because the
G-70 only sends V-LINK messages—it does not
receive them). See page 222 for details about the V-
LINK functionality.
Note: Press the [INIT¥SINGLE¥VALUE] field to recall the default
setting for the parameter that is currently selected (whose dis-
play field “lights”).
● CLIP CONTROL TX—This parameter allows you to set the
MIDI channel (CHANNEL) to be used for the transmission
of these messages. Use the [ON/OFF] field to enable
(lights) or disable (dark) the transmission of these mes-
sages.
● COLOR CONTROL TX—This parameter allows you to set
the MIDI channel (CHANNEL) to be used for the trans-
mission of these messages. Use the [ON÷OFF] field to
enable (lights) or disable (dark) the transmission of these
messages.
This page contains several parameters that are not
related to one another (the other MIDI pages always
concentrate on one aspect).
■PARAMETER
● OCTAVE TX—The OCTAVE TX parameter can be set to
Absolute or Relative. You may have noticed that if you
assign a bass sound to the UP1/2/3 part in SPLIT mode,
the notes are transposed to allow you to play meaning-
ful bass lines using the UP1/2/3 part. “Relative” means
that this internal (and automatic) transposition is trans-
lated into note numbers.
In “Absolute” mode, however, the MIDI note number sent
to other instruments will be the one assigned to the key
you press. The advantage of “Absolute” is that you can
play a bass line using an UP part, for example, and dou-
ble it with a trumpet of an external instrument.
● PART SWITCH—This parameter allows you to specify
whether or not a muted part should go on sending MIDI
messages:
● TRANSPOSE RX (On/Off)—Use this parameter to spec-
ify whether note messages received via MIDI should be
transposed.
■VELOCITY
● VELO TX, VELO RX (On, 1~127)—Your G-70 is equipped
with a velocity-sensitive keyboard and a tone generator
capable of responding to velocity messages. Use the
fields to switch the reception (RX) or transmission (TX) of
velocity messages on or off.
If you don’t select “On”, specify which velocity value to
use instead of the continuous flux. The value you set will
be used for all notes received via MIDI IN/USB (RX) or
sent to MIDI OUT/USB (TX).
■TX FILTER
● SYSEX—Use this parameter to specify whether (button
icon on) or not (off) the G-70 should send SysEx mes-
sages. Such messages are not standardized, so that each
manufacturer can use them ad lib for temporary (or per-
If you select the V-Link part
PARAM
Internal:
A muted part can no longer be played via the G-70’s
keyboard or Arranger/Recorder but continues to
send MIDI messages. Selecting “Internal” and muting
a part thus has the same effect as selecting “Local
Off” (see p. 216).
Int+Mid:
A muted part can no longer be played via the G-70’s
keyboard or Arranger and no longer sends MIDI
messages.
