G-70 Music Workstation
Using the 16-track sequencer
G MIX—The data in the selected range of the source track
are added to the data on the destination track.
In most instances, "REPLACE" is probably a good choice
when you set DATA TYPE to "ALL" or when you wish to
substitute a given "message cluster" (modulation data,
for example) for other messages of the same type (thus
creating a perfect reproduction of a given control
effect).
"MIX", on the other hand, may be useful for adding data
to a number of beats or bars that were not there before,
while keeping the original notes in those places. You can
choose the kind of data to be copied using "DATA TYPE".
Note: The G-70 has no Undo function. Saving your song
before copying will allow you to load the previous version if
something goes wrong.
ICOPY TIMES (1~999)
Sets the number of copies you wish to make. The value "3"
means that you will end up with 3 contiguous copies.
IDATA TYPE
Allows you to select the data to be copied:
ALL All parameters listed below.
Note Only note messages.
P.Bender Pitch Bend data.
Control Control change messages.
Change
Prog. C Program change messages.
NRPN Non-registered-parameter-number messages.
These are parameter control functions of the GS/
GM2 format that are easier to use than SysEx
messages (but basically have the same function).
RPN Registered-parameter-number messages. They
work like NRPN messages, and are understood by
many GM- and GM2-compatible tone genera-
tors.
CAF Channel Aftertouch messages.
When you select "Note", a FROM NOTE and TO NOTE field
appear that allow you to set the upper and lower limit of
the notes to be copied. (See also "Fine-tuning the setting
range" on p. 162.)
IDST TRACK
This is where you select the track to which you want to
copy the selected data. If you set SRC TRACK to "ALL", the
DST TRACK setting cannot be changed.
IINTO
The bar, beat and CPT values of the position the first data
of the source track will be copied to.
IEXECUTE
Press this field to confirm your settings and copy the data.
Note: Though you can also copy data from track 10 (the offi-
cial Drum track) to a "melodic" track and vice versa, this is only
useful if you assign a Drum Set to the selected destination
(DST) track. A drum track indeed sounds odd when played by a
piano, for example (and a piano part is not necessarily suited
for drumming).
INSERT
164
INSERT allows you to insert space and shift data that
lie behind the FROM position further towards the end
of the song (this is the exact opposite of DELETE).
These empty measures can be "filled" using the COPY
function or by recording new phrases in that area
(using PUNCH IN/OUT, for example). (page 163).
Note: This function provides no TO pointer. Instead, you have
to specify the length of the insert using the FOR values.
ITRACK (ALL, 1~16)
Allows you to select the track you wish to edit. You can
also select "ALL" here, in which case the operation applies
to all tracks.
IFROM
G BAR (1~[last measure of the track or song])—Refers to
the first measure to be edited. By default, the FROM
value is set to the beginning of the selected track(s).
G BEAT (1~[number of beats per bar])—Specifies the
beat position. The number of available beats depends on
the time signature in the selected area.
G CPT (1~119)—Refers to the starting CPT position. "CPT"
is short for "Clock Pulse Time", the smallest unit used by
the G-70. (There are 120 CPTs to every beat of a 4/4 bar.)
Change this setting only if your edit operation should
start after the selected beat.
IFOR
Specifies how many bars, beats and CPTs are to be inserted.
G BAR, BEAT, CPT—See above.
ITIME SIGNATURE
If TRACK= "ALL", you can use these fields to set the time
signature of the new measures (1~32 & 2, 4, 8, 16).
IEXECUTE
Press this field to confirm your settings and edit the data.
