Saving Patches You’ve Created

When you edit the settings of a patch, the PATCH TOP screen displays <EDITED> to remind you that the patch’s settings have been modified. If <EDITED> is displayed, you will lose your edited patch settings if you switch to another patch or turn off the power. If you want to keep a patch whose settings you have edited, assign a name to the patch and then perform the Save operation.

Naming a Patch

Before you save the patch, here’s how to give it a new name. Editing Patch or Tone names is called Naming.

A Patch name can have up to 18 letters.

A Tone name can have up to 10 letters.

1.Make sure that the patch that you want to name is selected.
