Style Finder: quickly locating Styles
G-70 Music Workstation

87
If you pressed the [FLOPPY] field, these options are
not available, and the display looks as follows:
■Using the Index function
The highest hierarchical level of the Style Finder
database is called “Index”. All search operations apply
to the selected Index (and therefore not necessarily
to all files in the internal memory or on a memory
card).
• After performing step (2), press the [INDEX] field in
the upper left corner.
• Either press the field that corresponds to the desired
Style category, or –if you’re not sure which category
the Style belongs to– press [ALL]. (This may be a safer
bet.)
• Now return to the previous page by pressing [BACK].
The display returns to the page shown under step (1)
above. This time, however, only the Styles belonging
to the selected Index are displayed.
Continue with step (3) to select the Style you want to
use.
■Searching for Music Styles
The powerful part starts as soon as you press the
[FINDER] field.
• Press the [STYLE≈NAME] field if you want the G-70 to
look for Style names, then enter the name (or part of
it).
• Press the [COUNTRY] field if you want to look for a
country, then enter the name (or part of it).
• Press the [GENRE] field to locate a specific genre
(Rock’n’Roll, 16-Beat, etc.), then enter the desired
characters.
• Press the [TEMPO] field and enter the tempo value
you are looking for.
Note: It would be a good idea to enter at least 2 characters,
possibly even 3 so as to narrow down your search to a “work-
able” size.
The next step is to decide how the Style Finder should
look for files:
• Press the [ALPHABETIC≈ORDER] field to search for all
entries that start with the characters you entered
(“BEA”, for example). Files that match the specified
criteria will be displayed at the top of the list.
The order depends on the button icon you activated
([STYLE≈NAME], [COUNTRY], [GENRE], or [TEMPO]).
• Press the [SEARCH≈ONLY] field to have the G-70
search the selected entry for files that contain the
supplied information. (This would allow you to also
locate a file called “Raggabeat” if you entered “BEA”.)
• See page 49 for how to enter characters.
• The [Delete] field allows you to delete the character
indicated by the cursor. Press and hold it to clear all
characters.
• Press [Space] to insert a blank (or the number “0”).
• If you forgot to insert a character, use [ø] or [˚] to
select the position where the missing character
should be inserted. Then press [Insert], followed by the
character you wish to insert.
• To enter numbers without cycling through the char-
acters first, press the [NUM¥LOCK] field. After enter-
ing the numbers, switch it off if you need to enter
characters again.
• Press the [FIND] field to start your search.
The information in these columns are supplied by a
special file in the internal memory or on a memory
card that is called Database.
You can supply the above information for your own
Styles – or change the information of the Styles on
the supplied memory card.
Note: Music Styles you load from floppy disk and then save
to a card or the internal memory are not automatically
modified to include this Database information. You need to
program it yourself. See “Rename” on page 88.
