8. Using the mixer functions & effects
The MIXER environment does what its name suggests:
it allows you to balance the various Keyboard parts of
your G-70. See page 124 and following for how to
“mix” the song parts.
Your singing and the generated Vocal Harmonist parts
can be “mixed” using the [VOICE] and [HARMONY]
knobs.
About the G-70’s effects
The G-70 contains the following effects processors, not
all of which are available for all sections. So please
carefully study the following table:
The reason why we are talking about “processors” is
that most of them can be used in various ways (by
selecting a “Type”). The MFX and IFX are the most versa-
tile processors, because they can use one of 84 types,
while other processors provide 8 or 9 possibilities. Only
the Compressor and Gate processors are “dedicated”
effects: they “only” function as Compressor or Gate.
Note: See page 132 for how to set the VOCAL HARMONIST
equalizers.
Note: The effects of the Harmonic Bars sections are covered in
the section “Using effects” on p. 34.
Mixing Keyboard parts
Here’s how to set the balance and other “mix-related”
parameters of the Keyboard parts.
(1) Press the [PART] button (you can also press
[CHORUS÷REVERB] or [PAN÷VOLUME].
The display changes to:
The MUTE message means that the part in question
is currently not available. You can mute a part by
pressing the instrument icon of the part you wish to
mute. To switch a muted part on, press its instrument
icon (flagged with a MUTE message) again.
(2) Press the [PAN¥POT÷VOLUME] button once or twice
to assign the VOLUME parameter to the sliders.
(The row of the on-screen sliders is displayed in
light gray.)
Note: The slider functions can also be selected by pressing any
control in the desired row (VOLUME, PANPOT, REVERB or CHO-
RUS).
(3) Move the sliders below the display to set the
desired volume for the various Keyboard parts.
(See the names below the sliders – inside the grey
box in the illustration.)
When the position of the assigned slider does not
match the value set for the parameter that is con-
trolled, you first have to move the slider to the posi-
tion that corresponds to the green dots that sur-
round the knob icon or that are located next to the
fader icon before being able to actually change the
value.
