The chord information appears at the bottom of the
screen.
Note: The chord information is calculated in real-time and
may not always be accurate. Also, with chords where the third
has been omitted, no information will be displayed (because it
is impossible to tell whether those are minor or major chords).
Note: You can also add Lyrics data to songs that do not yet
contain them. See page 150 for details.
(4) Press the [ZOOM¥+] button if the lyrics are difficult
to read.
Press [ZOOM¥–] to select the normal size again.
Changing the color of the lyrics
Apart from enlarging the lyrics (see above), the G-70
also allows you to set the background color and the
color of the lyrics themselves if you don’t feel com-
fortable with the black-on-white system that is used
by default.
(1) Press the [OPTIONS] field on the page shown above.
(2) Proceed as follows:
You may first want to try one of the COLOR PRESET
fields ([1]~[6]). If none of the factory settings is to
your liking (or if you want to make minor correc-
tions)…
…press one of the knobs (red, green or blue) in the
LYRICS column and use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial to
increase or decrease the value.
The changes are reflected in the small display above
the COLOR PRESET button icons.
The system used here corresponds to the RGB color
mixing system, whereby the value “255” for all three
knobs yields the color white (while “0” for all three
corresponds to black). If you have ever worked with a
graphic program, this concept may be familiar to you.
Press one of the knobs (red, green or blue) in the
BACKGROUND column and use the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial to increase or decrease the value.
(3) Press the [Back] field to return to the LYRICS page.
Your G-70 also provides a VIDEO OUTPUT socket you
can connect to the video input of a TV screen or moni-
tor. That monitor (or screen) always displays the Lyrics
(if available), even if you –or the G-70– select(s) other
display pages. Scores, on the other hand, are never dis-
played by the external monitor.
(1) Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT socket to the video
input of the TV set or monitor.
(2) Switch on your TV set or monitor and start play-
back of a song with Lyrics.
If the lyrics and chords do not appear correctly on
the external screen, proceed as follows:
(3) Press the [LYRICS&SCORE] button.
The display changes to:
(4) Press the [OPTIONS] field.
The display changes to:
(5) Press the [PAL] or [NTSC] field to select the desired
setting (or the one that works).
