EASY PLAY
Up to 512 different musical settings are available. A simple control gives, for each style, 8 different configurations of Rhythm, Arrangement and Sounds, either for the right or for the left hand.

64 musical styles structured into 7 parts (Intro, Verse, Chorus 1, Chorus 2, Ending, Break and Fill In), each with 4 variations, of which the fourth is editable. It is possible to load 8 custom styles at a time by floppy disk, up to a maximum of 64 which will substitute all the factory styles.
PIANO BAR
Thanks to the extraordinary ability to recognize chords, across the whole keyboard, piano players will be able to play with their normal style and technique, using all the instruments' capabilities whilst accompanied by rhythms and arrangements.PROGRAMS
96 different user programs, which remember whole keyboard set ups, styles, voices etc..., can be stored and each program can be saved and loaded from floppy disk.SOUND PADS
The 4 sound Pads enable you to play drum sounds or special effects. These pads can also be programmed with the same functions as switch pedals. In this way, for example, one Pad can control the Sustain and another one the Slow/Fast of a Leslie.MICROPHONE INPUT/OUTPUT
You can connect a mike or any other instrument to the special jack socket provided with Sensitivity control. The ANALOG signal is digitized and processed as any other sound. Thanks to two specific "AUX OUTPUTS" the mike INPUT can be separately connected to the external mixer.VOCODER / HARMONIZER
The built-in Vocal Harmony Processor produces exciting and unique singing and harmony performance with Vocoder and Harmonizer effects. By connecting the mike directly to the G7, the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) harmonizes the lead voice in a choir. The singer becomes part of a four singer's group! The lead voice is driven by the notes played on the keyboard, or through a special track on the sequencer. If you like to sing, even if you cannot sing in tune, the VHP corrects your voice giving perfect tuning. Furthermore, with the "Vocal Follower" feature the singer's voice pitch is recognized and three voices or three orchestral sounds are added, beautifully harmonized.DISK DRIVE
The G series uses floppy disks of 1,4 Mb and 720KB in DOS or ATARI format, for writing or reading.
