• Press the [PLAY&SEARCH] field.
• As indicated in the display, play the main theme on
the keyboard. You can play in any key, and the
rhythm doesn’t have to be perfect either (this func-
tion just looks for intervals).
• If you played a wrong note, press
[DELETE≈LAST¥NOTE].
• To enter the entire line again, press [∫≈RESET] to erase
the previously entered notes, then play the phrase
again.
• After entering the melody, press the [FIND] field.
The display now returns to step (1) on page 38 and
shows the names of the songs that contain the mel-
ody you played.
• Press the field of the song you want to play back.
Note: If no songs were found, the following message appears,
and no file names are displayed (in which case you need to
press the [SONG¥NAME], [ARTIST], [GENRE] or [FILE¥NAME] field
to display all songs again):
If the G-70 did find one or several matches, the
“FOUND” number will be smaller than the “GLOBAL”
number.
Starting playback
(7) To return to the main page, press [EXIT].
The “main page” is the G-70’s display page that pro-
vides a maximum of relevant information and allows
you to select (and change) items you may need dur-
ing normal operation.
It also displays the name of the selected song, the
tempo, and the current measure. You can press the
[SONG] button icon in the upper right-hand corner to
see the song’s tempo. (This value will, however, be
displayed as soon as you start song playback.)
Note: If the message “Too many events” is displayed, the
selected song contains more than that number and cannot be
played back.
(8) Press the [PLAY÷STOP¥®÷ª] button.
Playback of the selected song starts.
(9) If necessary, use [√¥SLOW] and [FAST¥®] to change
the tempo.
You can also press the [TAP] button several times in
the rhythm of the desired tempo.
To quickly return to the default tempo, simulta-
neously press [√¥SLOW] and [FAST¥®].
(10) Use the MASTER [MASTER¥VOLUME] knob to set
the G-70’s output volume.
You can also play to the music using the Keyboard
parts. If necessary, use the [BALANCE] knob to set the
desired balance.
Other practical playback functions
■MARK JUMP
The factory-loaded songs in the G-70’s internal
memory contain four locations (“markers”) you can
jump to right away. For songs that do not yet contain
them, you can program these markers yourself. You
can also edit the locations of existing markers
(page 139).
• Use the MARK & JUMP [1]~[4] buttons to select the
position you want to jump to without stopping or
delaying playback (the indicator of the button you
pressed flashes). Such changes occur at the end of
the current measure (the indicator stop flashing and
lights), which makes more musical sense than jump-
ing when you’re halfway into a measure.
There are four MARK memories. For the factory-
loaded songs, they correspond to:
1= verse, 2= chorus, 3= bridge, 4= ending)
