9) Press the Upper 1 button to return to the main record page.
NOTE: You can get very specific when erasing information in the G-800. In addition to specifying the Track,
Mode, Type, and Division, you can select a specific area (e.g. measure 2 beat 3 through measure 5 beat 2) to
be erased. You can also use the Data Type parameter (Page #2 of the User Style edit screen) to specify what
type of data you wish to erase (Notes, Pitch Bends, etc.). You can also designate a specific note range to be
rased (Page #3 of the User Style edit screen).

IV. Modifying a Preset Style
In some cases, you may wish to make changes to an existing Style in the G-800. You can use the following
rocedure to copy a Preset Style to a User Style:
p
1) Press F5 [DISK].
2) Press F1 [LOAD].
3) Use the PAGE UP button to select the “USR STL” page.
4) Use the DRUMS/PART knob to set Source to “INT.”
5) Use the ACCOM/GROUP knob to select the desired Style to copy.
6) Use the LOWER/NUMBER knob to select the desired Division to copy.
7) Use the UPPER/VARIATION knob to select the desired User Style destination (1-8).
8) Press UPPER 1 [EXECUTE].
9) Press F5 [EXIT].
You can now change the sounds on each track or modify the effects settings (see section II), use the editing tools
to change parts, or re-record certain parts (see section III). After you are done modifying your new User Style, you
must save it to disk (see section V).
V. Saving a User Style to Disk
Because a User Style cannot be saved into the Internal Memory, you will need to save it to a floppy disk before
owering off the G-800. Use the following procedure to save a User Style to disk:
p
1) Insert a 3.5 inch floppy disk into the disk drive. If the disk is not formatted, press F1 [Format].
2) Press F5 [Disk].
3) Press F2 [Save].
4) Use the PAGE UP button to select the “USR STL” page.
5) Use the DRUMS/PART knob to select the User Style (1-8) you wish to save to disk. The current User Style
number is indicated in the upper right of the User Style Page #1 display.
6) Use the LOWER/NUMBER and UPPER/VARIATION knobs to name your User Style.
7) Press M.BASS [EXECUTE] to confirm your settings and save the data to disk.
Recording a User Style on a G-800 is a little different than recording patterns on a conventional sequencer, and
may require a some experimentation. However, the end result is a product that can be used in ways not possible
with a conventional sequencer. We hope that this supplement has given you a better understanding of how User
Styles are created, as well as some insight into the power and flexibility available in the G-800.
