• The G-70 is supplied with a CD-ROM that contains
the driver files you may need for USB–MIDI applica-
tions. Before pressing [USB], you must install the
required drivers on your computer.
See the operating instructions that come with the
CD-ROM.
(4) Do one of the following:
• Press a MIDI SET [1]~[8] field to select a MIDI Set.
• Press the SELECT field that corresponds to the section
whose default settings you want to load. These two
fields can be used instead of a MIDI set.
If you press [Keyboard&Style¥Parts], the Song parts no
longer receive/transmit MIDI messages. If you press
[Song¥Parts], the Keyboard and Style parts no longer
transmit MIDI messages.
• Press the [EDIT] field to gain access to the MIDI
parameters. Next, use the PAGE [ø][˚] fields to select
the part or section whose settings you want to
change.
(5) If you changed some MIDI parameter settings,
press the [WRITE] field to write them to a MIDI Set
(page 220).
(6) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Working with presets
The opening “MIDI” page contains two big fields with
preset settings. All you need to do is press them to
restore the default settings for the sections or aspects
in question.
[Keyboard&Style¥Parts]: This field recalls the factory
MIDI settings for the Keyboard parts (UP1/2/3, LW1/2,
MBS, MELODY INT) and the Style parts (ADrum, ABass,
Acc1~6). The most important (and practical) use for this
field is resetting the MIDI transmit/receive channels of
the Keyboard and Arranger parts, and to switch off
MIDI transmission/reception of the Song parts.
Note: This field applies to both reception (RX) and transmission
(TX). The G-70 indeed allows you to set separate TX and RX chan-
nels for each part.
[Song¥Parts]: This field restores the factory settings for
the G-70’s Song parts and switches off the MIDI trans-
mission and reception of the Keyboard and Style parts.
MODE [Local¥On]/[Local¥Off]: These settings allow you to
establish or remove the connection between the G-70’s
keyboard/Arranger/Recorder and the internal tone gen-
erator.
If you select [Local≈On] (default), playing on the G-70’s
keyboard or playing back a song/Style causes the corre-
sponding notes to sound. If you select [Local≈Off], the
corresponding MIDI messages are no longer sent to the
internal tone generator – but they are still transmitted
to the MIDI OUT socket (or USB port), and hence to
external MIDI instruments.
When you press one of these fields, the number of the
currently selected MIDI Set is indicated with an asterisk
(*) to signal that the current settings no longer corre-
spond to the written settings. See p. 220 for details
about the MIDI Sets.
