If you press the [NOTE] field, the display changes to:

This pop-up window allows you to enter up to 10 
notes for each position (see the [BAR], [BEAT] [CPT] 
fields). The velocity values of the keys you press are 
also adopted.

• To enter chords: press and hold the key of at least 

one constituent note, then press the remaining keys. 
Any key you press after releasing the keys of notes 
already entered in the “table” replaces the “old” 
notes. 

• Press one of the note icons to specify the duration of 

the note(s) shown in the “table”. This is possible both 
before and after playing the required note(s) on the 
keyboard.

• Press the [EXECUTE] field to confirm your settings 

and add the new note (or chord).

Changes made to a song or Style using the Makeup 
Tools can now be “computed” into that file and there-
fore become “regular” song or Style data:

Before saving your “made-up” song or Style to the 
internal memory, a card or a floppy disk, you can (but 
you don’t have to) “commit” your changes, thereby 
turning them into “regular” song or Style data. 
(MAKEUP TOOLS settings are SysEx data only the G-70 
understands.)

This may come in handy for two reasons:

• To be able to edit the “final” version of your song or 

Style with the 16-track Sequencer, Style Converter or 
Style Composer. Those functions ignore the “cos-
metic” SysEx data you add using the MAKEUP TOOLS.

• To play back your new song version on another 

sequencer or your computer. (The Styles can only be 
read by the G-70 anyway.)

To commit your changes, press the [FREEZE¥DATA] 
field on any of the pages discussed so far:

The display responds with “Operation Complete” 
when the data have been converted. 

Careful: this 

operation cannot be undone.

Note: This operation is unnecessary for files you only want to 
use with the G-70.
