list (with 143 references you may not need at all), you
can simply use the Finder to load just that specific User
Program.
A User Program loaded with the Finder resides in a tem-
porary memory (“buffer”) and will be overwritten when
you select another User Program. You can, however,
decide to save it using WRITE so as to include it in the
active Set List. The Finder can therefore also be used for
creating “best of” compilations from various User Pro-
gram Set Lists.
(1) Press the FINDER [USER≈PRG] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Specify the memory area that contains the User
Program you need: [EXTERNAL≈MEMORY],
[INTERNAL≈MEMORY] or [FLOPPY].
The display shows a list of 5 User Programs in the
selected device (internal memory, card or floppy disk).
To work with a User Program on memory card, insert
the card and select [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY]. To work
with a User Program on floppy disk, insert the disk
and select [FLOPPY].
Note: The G-70 does not support User Programs of the Roland
VA, E, KR, or EM series.
(3) If available, press the field of the User Program you
need.
If the name is not displayed, use PAGE [ø][˚] to go to
a different page, then press the field of the settings
you are interested in.
This page lists the names of all individual User Pro-
grams contained on the selected device.
Quick location of the User Program you need
There are several ways of quickly locating the User Pro-
gram you are after:
■Sorting files
Press the [USER¥PRG], [STYLE¥LINK], [GENRE] or
[SONG¥LINK] field to sort the User Program files:
The right column now contains the selected entry
(only one of them can be displayed along with the
User Program name).
Continue with step (3) to select the User Program
you want to use.
■Using the Index function
The highest hierarchical level of the User Program
Finder database is called “Index”. All search opera-
tions apply to the selected Index (and therefore not
necessarily to all files internal memory or on a mem-
ory card).
• After performing step (2), press the [INDEX] field in
the upper left corner.
• Either press the field that corresponds to the desired
User Program category, or –if you’re not sure which
category the User Program belongs to– press [ALL].
(This may be a safer bet.)
• Now return to the previous page by pressing [BACK].
The display returns to the page shown under step (1)
above. This time, however, only the User Programs
belonging to the selected Index are displayed.
Continue with step (3) to select the User Program
you want to use.
■To directly locate the desired User Program…
(4) Press the [FINDER] field.
(5) Decide what you want to look for by pressing the
[USER¥PRG], [STYLE¥LINK], [GENRE] or [SONG¥LINK]
button icon.
(6) Decide how the Finder should look for files:
USER PRG: The files are sorted alphabetically according
to User Program name.
STYLE LINK: User Program files with an active link to a
MIDI Set are sorted alphabetically according
to Style name.
USER PRG
GENRE: The files are sorted alphabetically according
to genre (kind of music).
SONG LINK: User Program files with an active link to a
song file are sorted alphabetically according
to song name.
