Using the Makeup Tools
In addition to the Cover functions for songs and Styles
(see pages 41 and 77) that allow you to change song or
Style playback by selecting presets, the G-70 also
boasts a mode where you can customize playback of
the currently selected song or Style. Changes you per-
form here must be saved if you want them to be per-
manent.
The MAKEUP settings of Standard MIDI Files (songs) are
ignored by the G-70’s 16-track Sequencer. While edit-
ing a “made-up” song, you will thus hear (and change)
the original version, which may sound different once
you play it back.
There are two sets of MAKEUP functions: one for songs
(Standard MIDI Files) and another for Music Styles.
Because of the striking similarities, we will discuss each
item only once and only point out aspects that behave
differently.
Both environments can be selected via the same button
on the front panel, which is why we recommend you
always look at the information in the top line (“SONG
MAKEUP TOOLS” or “STYLE MAKEUP TOOLS”) before
making any change whatsoever. Here is how to tell
those two environments apart:
■Before changing the MAKEUP TOOLS settings of
a song
• Press the FINDER [SONG] button.
You can also press the [SONG] field on the main page
to select songs.
The display changes to:
• Select the memory area that contains the song you
want to change: press [INTERNAL≈MEMORY],
[FLOPPY] or [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY].
If you press [FLOPPY] or [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY], insert
the memory card or floppy disk with the desired song
into the slot (or drive). See “Playing back songs (Stan-
dard MIDI Files)” on p. 38 for details about selecting
songs.
• Select the song by pressing its field.
■Before changing the MAKEUP TOOLS settings of
a Music Style
• Press a button of the STYLE pad to select a Music
Style family.
• Use the [PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥4] fields to switch pages.
The number of pages depends on the selected family.
• Press the field of the Music Style you want to use.
See pages 27 and 86 for details about selecting Music
Styles.
