This takes you back to the "CONVERT" page:
(13) Now select the destination pattern, i.e. specify
whether the selected excerpt should become a
MAIN pattern, an Intro, etc.
(14) Press the available "display" fields and use the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to
enter the desired value.
The parameters discussed below can be set for each
track and pattern individually. Though flexible, this
system also means that you need to be careful so as
to achieve usable results.
G Key—(C, C#, D, Eb, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B) Use this parame-
ter to tell your G-70 what key the track (or tracks) is (or
are) in. Specifying the right key before converting the
data is crucial for realtime use of a pattern. The chord
recognition system of the Arranger is indeed based on
the assumption that all patterns are in the key of C.
Thus, whenever you play a C (in INTELLIGENT mode) or a
C chord in the chord recognition area, the G-70 uses the
original notes of the pattern (no realtime transposition).
If that pattern is in F# and if you forgot to tell the G-70
that it is, F# is what you will hear when you play a C or C
chord.
Note: There is no need to specify the key for ADR tracks.
G Tempo (20~250)—Allows you to specify the default
tempo of the Music Style.
G Track (ADrum, ABass, ACC1~6, ALL)—This is where you
can specify the tracks that should be extracted and
turned into a Music Style phrase. In most instances, you
will probably select "ALL". You could, however, also
extract each track separately.
G Mode—Allows you to select the mode of your pattern:
"Major" (major), "m" (minor) or "7th" (seventh). Choose
the mode that matches the chord being used in the
excerpt. You can also decide to use the same phrase for
all three modes. The G-70 then attempts to transform
them in a musically useful way for the chords you play in
realtime. By selecting an option indicated by "=", you
create several patterns at once.
G Division—Allows you to specify the pattern type that
should be created: Main 1, Main 2, Main 3, Main 4, Main
ALL, Fill Up1, Fill Up2, Fill Up3, Fill Up ALL, Fill Dw1, Fill
Dw 2, Fill Dw 3, Fill Dw ALL, Intro 1, Intro 2, Intro 3, Intro
4, Intro ALL, End 1, End 2, End 3, End 4 or Ending ALL.
