G-70 Music Workstation
Tempo-related settings (Arranger
Options)
The G-70 also provides two parameters to allow you to
“play” with the Music Style tempo:
(1) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [ARRANGER¥SETTING] field, followed by
the [ARRANGER¥OPTIONS] field.
Style Tempo
Before telling you what this parameter is for, let us
briefly summarize everything that has already been said
about the tempo:
• Each Music Style has a preset tempo that is recalled
whenever you select that Style, or when you take
advantage of the One Touch function (page 78). The
One Touch function, however, allows you to filter the
tempo setting (by activating [TEMPO], which means
that the preset tempo is no longer loaded automati-
cally).
• On the other hand, you are free to change a Music
Style’s tempo any time. See “Changing the tempo” on
p. 28. That value can be written to a User Program
and will then be set every time you select that User
Program.
• The Style (and also song) tempo is displayed on the
main page.
[PRESET], [AUTO] and [LOCK] allow you to specify
what happens when you select another Style:
TEMPO CHANGE (RITARD and ACCELER)
The ACCELER/RITARD parameter allows you to speed
up or slow down the Arranger tempo by the amount
you set here. To use them, you must assign them to
the ASSIGN SW buttons or an optional FC-7.
There are three Ritardando functions: one for all
Style divisions, one for Ending patterns, and one for
Fill-Ins. They all use the TEMPO CHANGE settings on
the following page.
(1) Press the field of the parameter part whose value
you wish to change.
Parameter fields can also be selected using the DATA
ENTRY [√][®] buttons.
(2) Set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or
the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
● ACCELER/RITARD—allows you to set the degree (ratio)
by which the tempo changes when the ACCELER or
RITARD function is triggered. Example: if the tempo is
currently q= 100, the value “20%” means that the
tempo falls to q= 80.
(3) Press the first field (ACCELER/RITARD) and use the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to
select the ratio by which the tempo should
increase/decrease.
● CPT (15~3825)—Use this parameter to specify how long
a Ritardando/Accelerando should take. In most cases,
one measure (480 CPT, i.e. one measure) is probably the
most musical choice.
