The G-70’s new Guitar Mode expands keyboard players’ horizons with perfect guitar riff simulations (acoustic and electric) – in realtime. This cutting-edge function provides several down- and up-stroke patterns, realistic muting and other guitar techniques, all controllable from the G-70’s keyboard. The G-70’s Guitar Mode is so authentic, it will take your (and your audience’s) breath away!
The Guitar Mode is also an invaluable programming tool for live-feel guitar phrases in your Standard MIDI Files and Music Styles (available in 16-Track Sequencer and the User Style Composer modes).

OS version 2 at last allows you to assign any Tone or Drum Set of an installed expansion board (option) to Song and Style tracks. It even provides an Auto Sync function for perfect tempo matching of any loop or phrase you select from that board.

Turn any Standard MIDI File into a fully functional Music Style!
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.

Several new functions have been added to the 16-Track Sequencer environment, the most important being the possibility to record Vocal Harmonist data.
The Vocal Harmonist has become MIDI-savvy and so can be controlled from an external device if you need the keyboard for other things.

It allows you to save your Song and Style changes for universal SMF compatibility, and more flexible Song and Style editing.

This function has become more flexible: selecting a Harmony Type also means that the G-70 automatically assigns a suitable sound to the Melody Intelligent part (e.g. a trumpet and sax sounds for Big Band, etc.)
By default, the G-70 automatically loads the Melody Intelligent type that is suited for the Styles you select.
