In addition to the Cover functions for songs and Styles 
(see pages 41 and 76) that allow you to change song or 
Style playback by selecting presets, the G-70 also 
boasts a mode where you can customize playback of 
the currently selected song or Style. Changes you per-
form here must be saved if you want them to be per-
manent.

The MAKEUP TOOLS settings of Standard MIDI Files 
(songs) are ignored by the G-70’s 16-track Sequencer.

There are two sets of MAKEUP functions: one for songs 
(Standard MIDI Files) and another for Styles. Because of 
the striking similarities, we will discuss each item only 
once and only point out aspects that behave differ-
ently.

Both environments can be selected via the same button 
on the front panel, which is why we recommend you 
always look at the information in the top line of the 
display (“SONG MAKEUP TOOLS” or “STYLE MAKEUP 
TOOLS”) before making any change whatsoever. Here is 
how to tell those two environments apart:

■Before changing the MAKEUP TOOLS settings of 

• Press the FINDER [SONG] button.

You can also press the [SONG] field on the main page 
to select songs. 

The display changes to:

• Select the memory area that contains the song you 

want to change: press [INTERNAL¥MEMORY], 
[FLOPPY] or [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY].

If you press [FLOPPY] or [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY], insert 
the memory card or floppy disk with the desired song 
into the slot (or drive). See “Playing back songs (Stan-
dard MIDI Files)” on p. 38 for details about selecting 
songs.

• Select the song by pressing its field.

■Before changing the MAKEUP TOOLS settings of 

• Press a button of the STYLE pad to select a Music 

Style family.

• If necessary, use the [PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥4] fields to 

switch pages.

The number of pages depends on the selected family. 

• Press the field of the Music Style you want to use.

See pages 27 and 86 for details about selecting Music 
Styles.
