(5) Press the [INTERNAL¥MEMORY] or
[EXTERNAL¥MEMORY] field.
This is necessary to specify whether you want to link
a Style in the internal memory or on a card in the
PCMCIA slot.
(6) Press the field that contains the name of the Music
Style you want to assign to the selected CUSTOM
memory.
If necessary, use the PAGE [ø][˚] fields or the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial/the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to select
another group of 5 Styles.
Note: If you can’t seem to find the Style you wish to assign,
and if you know it exists in the selected memory area, check
the “FOUND” value. It should indicate the same figure as the
“GLOBAL” entry. You can also use the Finder for locating the
desired Music Style. See p. 86 for details.
Note: It is perfectly possible to use “older” Music Styles with
the G-70. They will be converted automatically to the new
VARIATION [1]~[4] system.
(7) Press the [GET¥IT] field.
The G-70 returns to the “STYLE” page where you
came from. The name of the selected Style appears in
the field you selected before pressing the
[EDIT¥CUSTOM] button.
You could now program other assignments if you
wanted to.
Note: CUSTOM assignments are stored internally but they are
not part of the User Programs. Thus, you can “only” program
120 links in all (rather than 120 per User Program).
Note: CUSTOM settings reside in a global memory whose con-
tents are saved together with all User Program Set data
(p. 205). Be sure to save your current settings before loading
an entire User Program Set. Use “Save User Program Set” on
p. 205 for saving the settings.
■Selecting CUSTOM Style memories
The names are important for locating the Styles. If
you change the name of a Music Style that is refer-
enced by one of the CUSTOM memories, the G-70
can no longer find it. Conversely, if you have two
memory cards that both contain a Music Style called
“Reggae1”, even inserting the “wrong” card would
recall a “Reggae1” Style – but it might be the wrong
one (and quite a few other CUSTOM memories might
not recall any Style at all, because the other names
only exist on the “other” card).
(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 Music Style you want to use.
In some cases, an error message (“File not found”)
displayed at this point means that the card does not
contain the referenced file.
Note: If you do not wish to use the Music Style after all, press
[EXIT]. In that case, the G-70 keeps on using the last Music
Style it did find.
Disk User
You can also load one Music Style directly into the
G-70’s Disk User memory and use it. You could take
advantage of this function whenever none of the CUS-
TOM memories refer to the Music Style you need for
playing a given piece. As its name implies, you can also
use this function for working with Styles on floppy disk,
in the internal memory or on a memory card.
Note: The Music Style in this memory is only available until you
switch off the G-70 or load another Style. Be aware that selecting
a CUSTOM Style also overwrites the last Disk User Style you
selected.
Note: Unlike the CUSTOM memories, the reference to the
selected Music Style is not remembered (and therefore not
“fixed”).
(1) If necessary, insert the memory card or floppy disk
with the desired Music Style into the slot or disk
drive.
(2) On the STYLE page (see above), press the
[DISK¥USER] field.
