(1) Press the [BASS¥INVERSION] button (so that it
lights) to switch this function on.
(2) Press it again to switch this function off again.

Melody Intelligence
The Arranger can play chords and also add a counter-
melody to he notes you play. Those automatic harmo-
nies are based on the chords you play in the chord rec-
ognition area.
This counter-melody is played by the MELODY INTELL
part. There are 18 harmony types to choose from.
(1) Press the [MELODY¥INTELL] button (so that it
lights).
This adds a harmony to the notes you play. Do not
forget to switch on the UP1 part (page 57).
(2) To select another harmony type, press and hold the
[MELODY¥INTELL] button until the following page
appears:
(3) Press the field of the desired harmony type (TYPE).
Selecting a Harmony Type also means that the G-70
automatically assigns a suitable sound to the MEL-
ODY INTELL part (e.g. a trumpet and sax sounds for
Big Band, etc.).
(4) If the desired option is not displayed, use the
[PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥3] fields to select another page.
Note: For “Traditional”, “Latin”, “CntryBallad”, “OctaveType1”,
and “OctaveType2”, only the UP1 part is used. All other Melody
Intelligence Types use both the UP1 and the MELODY INTELL
part, however.
You can refine Melody Intelligence control by speci-
fying what velocity value the UP1 notes must have in
order to trigger the MELODY INTEL part. This allows
you to leave the [MELODY¥INTELL] button on at all
times, while only adding harmonies to your solo play-
ing during the choruses by hitting the keys a little
harder.
(5) Use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] but-
tons to set the desired “Threshold”.
You can also press the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and enter
the value using the on-screen numeric pad.
The “Threshold” value represents the lowest velocity
value (between “1” and “127”) the UP1 part must
receive from the keyboard (or via MIDI) in order to
