[*] The track uses a "normal" sound (that is not produced by the
HARMONIC BARS section). This can be an internal sound or a
sound of the SRX-series expansion board you installed.
[**] The track uses the same sound as the Keyboard part it is
linked to. In the case of the UP1, LW1 and MBS parts, this can
also be the corresponding Harmonic Bar part. The important
thing to remember is that whenever you assign a different sound
to the connected Keyboard part, the track in question automat-
ically switches to that sound as well.
G VH—Sets "REC TRK" to "16" and allows you to record
setting changes (including Pitch Bend) as well as the
notes used for generating Vocal Harmonist voicings. This
would allow you to "automate" the Vocal Harmonist's
behavior.
Note: Your singing is not recorded (because the sequencer
only handles MIDI data).
(6) To record a guitar part onto the selected track (not
available for track 10):
• Press the [GUITAR¥MODE] "display" and use the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial to select "Acoustic" or "Electric".
(Select "Off" if you want to use the track for some-
thing else.)
• Press the [SETTINGS] field to jump to the GUITAR
MODE page and set up your "guitar". See page 3 for
details.
• Press the [EXIT] button to return to the REALTIME REC
STANDBY page.
• Skip to step (8).

Note: The "DOUBLING" function (Guitar Mode Options) is not
available here, because only one track can be recorded at any
one time.
(7) Assign the desired sound to the recording track
you selected.
You can play on the keyboard to check whether the
sound matches the mood of the part you wish to
record.
You can select sounds of an SRX-series expansion
board for any track you like. Some boards contain
loops (or grooves) whose tempo is automatically syn-
chronized to the song tempo.
(8) Specify how the data will be added to the track
during recording (REC MODE):
(See the Owner's Manual for the rest of the proce-
dure.)

Melody Intelligence

This function has become more flexible:
Selecting a Harmony Type also means that the G-70
automatically assigns a suitable sound to the
MELODY INTELL part (e.g. a trumpet and sax sounds
for Big Band, etc.). More specifically, the following
sounds are added to the UP1 part (which also plays
certain "intelligent" melody notes):
