Style Converter
The G-70’s Style Converter is an easy and intuitive tool
for creating your own Music Styles based on one of
your own songs or a Standard MIDI File created by
someone else. In either case, it is enough to play back
the Standard MIDI File once to transfer its data into the
G-70’s song RAM memory where you can use the Style
Converter. You may want to edit the song before converting
parts of it into a Music Style. See “Editing one
or several tracks (TRACK EDIT)” on p. 165 and “GLOBAL
CHANGE” on p. 173 for details.
General considerations
Here are a few guidelines for converting song parts to a
Music Style:
• See “Concept” on p. 187 and “Looped vs. one-shot
patterns” on p. 187 for the different pattern types.
• The Music Style created using the Style Converter can
be used in Arranger mode (not in 16-track Sequencer
mode).
• Music Styles are accompaniment patterns. If the new
Style should be generally usable (i.e. for any song of a
given genre), try avoid chord changes in the “basic”
patterns (MAIN [1]~[4]). Remember that you can
transpose your Styles in realtime by playing different
chords in the chord recognition area. Also, it is usually
wiser not to include the melody in your conversion.
• Try to isolate the passages and parts that are really
typical of the song.
• Transitions, rolls, etc., should be converted to Fill-Ins.
