■Using the Ritardando/Accelerando functions

(4) For general applications (any Style division) pro-

ceed as follows:

• Assign the RITARD and ACCELER function:

• Press the [START÷STOP] button to start Style play-

back.

• Press the assigned button or footswitch. If you assign

two controls, can increase (ACC) and decrease (RIT)
the tempo.

(5) For Ritardandos that apply to Ending patterns pro-

ceed as follows:

• Press the [START÷STOP] button to start Style play-

back.

• Press the [END/RIT] button twice in succession (“dou-

ble-click”).

This selects an Ending pattern and slows down the
tempo according to the ACCELER/RITARD and MEA-
SURE settings. When the Ending phrase is finished
(and Arranger playback stops), the tempo is reset.

(6) For Fill Ritardandos:

The FILL RIT function is suitable for ballads. It causes
the next Fill-In to slow down (“ritardando”). Try using
this function now:

• Switch on the [AUTO¥FILL-IN] button.

• Press the [MENU] button.

• Press the [ARRANGER¥SETTING] field, followed by the

[ARRANGER¥OPTIONS] field.

• Start Arranger playback and press the [FILL¥RIT] but-

ton icon to switch it on.

• Press [MAIN] and a VARIATION] [1]~[4] button.

At the next downbeat, the G-70 plays a Fill-In. The
tempo slows down while the fill is being played. At
the end of the fill, the Style returns to the previously
set tempo (this is called “a tempo”).

(7) Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
