you to tune your G-70 to acoustic instruments that
cannot be tuned.

Aftertouch
The G-70 is equipped with an Aftertouch-sensitive key-
board. Like most instruments supporting Aftertouch, it
generates channel Aftertouch messages, which means
that one Aftertouch value will be transmitted by each
MIDI channel (or part).
Aftertouch is generated when you press a key even fur-
ther down after playing a note. The effect obtained is
usually similar to the one you can achieve with the
BENDER/MODULATION lever: you can change the pitch,
modify the volume, intensify the modulation, etc.
In the G-70’s case, however, you can also control the
Arranger and even the Vocal Harmonist.
Aftertouch data are only received by the following
parts: Upper 1/2/3, Lower 1/2, and the Arranger.
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [SPLIT&TOUCH] field, followed by the
[AFTER¥TOUCH] field.
(3) Press the field of the part whose Aftertouch
response you want to change (it “lights”).
(4) Press the field that corresponds to the function (or
parameter) that should be influenced by the After-
touch:
Note: Aftertouch only works in one direction (i.e., it generates
either positive or negative values).
Off—The part in question does not respond to After-
touch messages.
