Recording Styles from scratch

The G-70's Guitar mode also allows you to record guitar
parts for your Music Styles:

Getting ready for the first track

Recording a guitar part
To record a guitar part onto the selected track (only
available for the Accomp tracks):
• 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 STL
COMPOSER REC STANDBY page.
Note: The "DOUBLING" function (Guitar Mode Options) is not
available here, because only one track can be recorded at any
one time.

G Alteration Mode (Nearest, Degree, ---)—This message
type is only available for melodic Style tracks (i.e. not for
ADrums or ABass tracks). Style tracks you only just
recorded do not contain it. It allows you to use a revolu-
tionary system for adapting the recorded notes to a
more natural behavior (also known as "voicing"). There
are two options:
Degree: This setting refers to the "old" system for real-
time conversion of track information during Style play-
back. Based on the fundamentals of the chords you play
during Arranger playback, it often leads to odd jumps of
certain parts.
Nearest: Refers to a new, more musical, system for real-
time shifts of the recorded Style notes during Arranger
playback.
Select "---" if the selected pattern should ignore this set-
ting.
Note: This parameter is not available for: ADrums and ABass
tracks, Intro3 & 4 and End3 & 4 patterns.

After selecting a Gate Time entry, pressing the

Here, you can either set the required length as a CPT
value (q = 120CPT) or use the note fields to avoid
lengthy calculations. Use the numeric pad to enter
the desired duration. Drum parts usually use the Gate
Time value "1" for all notes. Increasing it to "20", for
example, has no audible effect on the sound dura-
tions. The maximum duration a note event can have
is 99,999 clocks, which corresponds to roughly 208
bars.
