Copying individual Style tracks
The COPY function can be used to copy individual
tracks, Modes and Divisions to replace existing parts
while keeping the remaining parts of the Style already
in memory.
(1) Press the [TRACK¥EDIT] field on the STYLE COM-
POSER page, followed by the [COPY] field.
(2) Press the [Source] field.
(3) Select the Style that contains the track(s) to be
copied:
■Selecting an ‘internal’ Style
To use one of the Styles that can be selected via the
front panel, proceed as follows: use the STYLE but-
tons and the fields in the display to select the desired
Style. The blue field shows the name of the Style
selected as source.
■Selecting an ‘external’ Style
You can also work with a Style saved in the internal
memory area, on a floppy disk or a memory card
(EXTERNAL).
• Press the [DISK¥USER] button icon to jump to the
STYLE FINDER page.
• See “Style Finder: quickly locating Styles” on p. 86 for
the complete procedure.
• Press the field of the Style you need (it appears on an
orange background).
• Press the [GET¥IT] field to return to the STYLE TRACK
EDIT/COPY field.
(4) Press the [TRACK] field and use the [DATA÷ENTRY]
dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to select the track to
be copied.
You can also select “ALL” to copy all tracks of a given
Mode/Division. In that case, the DESTINATION track is
also set to “ALL”.
(5) Repeat this operation with the [MODE] and
[DIVISION] fields to select the Mode (Major, Minor,
7th, ALL) and Division (Int 1~4, Int ALL, Main 1~4,
Main ALL, FDw 1~3, FDw ALL, FUp 1~3, FUp ALL,
End 1~4, End ALL).
(6) Press the [LISTEN] field to listen to the excerpt you
are about to copy.
Note: LISTEN is not available when you select “ALL” for the
MODE or DIVISION fields.
■FROM
Start by specifying the position of the first event (or
note) to be copied.
(7) Press the [BAR], [BEAT], or [CPT] field in the FROM
row and use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/
[INC] buttons to set the position of the starting
point.
By default, the FROM parameters are set to “Bar 1,
Beat 1, CPT 0”.
■TO
The TO position indicates the end of the excerpt to be
copied. By default, the TO values are set to include
the entire track.
(8) Press the [BAR], [BEAT], or [CPT] field and use the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to set
the desired position.
To copy an entire bar, select the beginning of the fol-
lowing bar. Example: to copy bars 1~4 specify “FROM
1-1-0/TO 5-1-0”.
(9) Press [LISTEN] to listen to the excerpt again.
(10) Press the [Destination] field.
■COPY MODE
Copying can be carried out in one of two modes:
In either case, the length of the destination track may
change to include all data of the source track.
Note: If the Style RAM memory already contains new data,
save it before copying. The G-70 has no Undo function. Saving
a Style before copying allows you to revert to the previous ver-
sion if something goes wrong. See “Saving your Style” on
page 185.
(11) Press the [COPY¥MODE] field and use the [DEC]/[INC]
buttons to select “Replace” or “Mix”.
Replace: The data in the selected range will be copied and
overwrite all data of the destination track in the
selected source track range.
Mix: The data in the selected range will be added to
any existing data on the destination track.
