 Editing MIDI parameters

G-70 Music Workstation 

r

Let us briefly explain where to look for the part you 
want to edit (use PAGE [ø][˚] to select it):

Note: Always select the part you want to edit before changing 
the available parameters.

The Keyboard, Style and Song parts have the same “TX” 
(transmission) and “RX” (reception) parameters, so we 
will discuss them only once, except where there are sig-
nificant differences.

Note: Press the [INIT¥SINGLE¥VALUE] field to recall the default 
setting for the parameter that is currently selected (whose display 
field “lights”).

These two button icons allow you to specify whether 
(lights) or not (dark) the part whose name appears in 
the upper left corner should transmit (TX) or receive 
(RX) MIDI data.

■CHANNEL (1~16)

Allows you to assign a MIDI transmit channel to the 
selected part. Unless you have a very good reason to 
do otherwise, we suggest using the same TX and RX 
channel numbers for a part.

Note: Assigning the same channel to two or more parts is usu-
ally not a very good idea.

■LOCAL

This is where you can disconnect the part from the 
internal sound source (“OFF”) – or re-establish that 
connection (“ON”). You can also change the LOCAL 
setting of all parts simultaneously using MODE 
[Local¥On]/[Local¥Off] on the first MIDI page.

■SHIFT (–48~48)

This parameter allows you to transpose the note 
messages before they are transmitted to an external 
MIDI instrument or computer. The maximum possible 
transposition is four octaves up (48) or down (–48). 
Each step represents a semi-tone.

The TX section provides a number of filters that allow 
you to specify whether the messages in question 
should be transmitted (ON) or not (OFF).

Press the [TX¥EVENT] field to open the following 
pop-up window:

Press the [ALL] field to switch all button icons on (the 
corresponding messages are then transmitted). Press 
[NONE] to switch all button icons off. Press [CLOSE] 
to return to the page where you came from. You can 
also switch the following button icons on/off individ-
ually:

● PROGRAM CHANGE—Program change and bank select 
(CC00, CC32) messages. These messages are used to select 
sounds and Drum Sets (as well as User Programs, see 
below). “Bank Select” messages are control change mes-
sages, which were added when it became clear that the 
number of sounds that can be selected using program 
change messages (128) was no longer sufficient to access 
all sounds of a given instrument. (The G-70 boasts over 
1590 sounds.)
● PITCH BENDER—Pitch Bend messages.
● MODUL—Modulation messages (CC01).
● VOLUME—Volume messages (CC07).
● PANPOT—Pan(pot) messages (CC10).
● EXPRESSION—Expression messages (CC11).
● HOLDº—Hold (Sustain, Damper) messages (CC64).
● SOSTENUTOº—Sostenuto messages (CC66).
● SOFTº—Soft messages (CC67).
● REVERB—Reverb Send messages (CC91).
● CHORUS—Chorus Send messages (CC93).
● CAFº—Channel aftertouch.
● RPNº—Registered parameter number (CC100/101).
● NRPNº—Non-registered parameter number (CC98/99).
● SysExº—SysEx messages (system exclusive).
● CC16º—General purpose controller that allows you to 
influence the “C1” parameter (see p. 93).

Note: TX EVENT parameters with a “º” symbol are not available 
for Style parts.
