(3) Press the [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY], [FLOPPY] or
[INTERNAL¥MEMORY] field to select the memory
area that contains the desired Style.
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.
(4) Press the field that contains the name of the Music
Style you want to load.
(5) If the desired Music Style is not displayed, use [ø][˚]
to select another group of 5 Styles.
You can also use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and the
[DEC]/[INC] buttons for selecting other pages with dif-
ferent Music Styles.
Note: The G-70 contains a powerful search engine for quickly
locating the desired Music Style on a card or in the internal
memory (page 86). It is not available for Styles on floppy disk,
however.
The display page does not change when you select
another Style. This was done to allow you… to select
another Music Style.
(6) Start playing with the newly selected Style.
The selection of the DISK USER Style will be written
to a User Program (page 111). The User Program in
question refers to the name and memory area. Next
time you recall such a User Program, the G-70 will
therefore use the referenced Style.
If the Style in question cannot be found, an error
message appears and the G-70 goes on using the
previously selected Style.
(7) Press the [EXIT] button return to the main page.
The name of the selected Style appears in the [STYLE]
field.
Style Finder: quickly locating Styles
The G-70 allows you to have a great many Music Styles
handy: in its internal memory, on a memory card, and
on floppy disks. For the internal memory and the mem-
ory card in the PCMCIA slot, there is a powerful Finder
function for quickly locating the Style you need. Here is
how to use this function:
(1) Press the FINDER [STYLE] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Specify the memory area that contains the Style
you need: [EXTERNAL≈MEMORY], [FLOPPY] or
[INTERNAL≈MEMORY].
The G-70 is shipped with several Styles that reside in
its internal memory.
The display shows a list of 5 Styles in the selected
memory area (internal, memory card or floppy disk).
(3) If the name of the Style you want to use to is
already displayed, press its line.
In our example, “%Shuffle” has been selected.
(4) To display the next 5 Styles, press the PAGE [˚] field
in the lower right corner.
You can press this field as many times as necessary
(or until it is no longer displayed).
To return to a previous group of 5 Styles, press [ø].
You can also select the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and the
[DEC]/[INC] buttons to switch pages.
Quick location of the Style you need
There are several ways of quickly locating the Style you
are after:
Sorting files
Press the [COUNTRY], [GENRE] or [TEMPO] field to
sort the Music Style files according to country, kind
of music (Genre) or tempo value. The right column
now contains the selected entry (only one of them
can be displayed along with the Style name).
Continue with step (3) to select the Style you want to
use.
