Working with ‘external’ Music
Styles
Using the CUSTOM memories
The G-70 provides 10 memories per family (i.e. 120
memories in all) that refer to Music Styles in the inter-
nal memory (“INTERNAL MEMORY”) or on a memory
card (“EXTERNAL MEMORY”). These memories behave
exactly like the other memories.
In the case of a memory card, however, they only
“work” if the card in question has been inserted into the
PCMCIA slot. Thanks to the G-70’s powerful software,
loading a CUSTOM Style is as swift as working with
internal Styles.
The Music Style referenced by the CUSTOM memory
you select is automatically loaded and copied to the
Disk User memory (see also p. 85). This is a RAM mem-
ory whose contents are erased when you switch off the
G-70, and overwritten when you select another CUS-
TOM memory (or use the Disk User function).
Here’s in a nutshell what happens when you select a
CUSTOM memory. (Even though the drawing may sug-
gest that this takes quite some time, the G-70 performs
these steps in a split second.)
When you unpack the G-70, the CUSTOM memories
are empty. So you first need to program your own
references to Music Styles.
Programming CUSTOM assignments
The G-70 comes with several Music Style examples in
internal memory you could use to try out the following.
Once you start working with your G-70, you will proba-
bly copy external Music Styles to the internal memory
and establish CUSTOM links to those.
Note: Use the Copy function (see p. 88) to copy all Styles to the
same card (or the internal memory).
(1) Press a button of the STYLE pad to select a Music
Style family.
That button lights and the display looks as follows:
(2) Press the [CUSTOM] field.
(3) Press the field of the memory you wish to assign
another Style to.
(4) Press the [EDIT¥CUSTOM] field.
