Switching the Bank and Number

2

1.Press the BANK or BANK pedal to select the desired bank.

When you switch banks, the indicator for number pedal last pressed before pressing the BANK pedal flashes, and the GT-6B is ready for the patch number to be specified (the patch cannot yet be switched in this condition).

2.Press a number pedal to select the patch you want to use.

The indicator for the selected number pedal lights up, and the GT-6B switches to that patch.

*The delay and reverb sounds are suspended while patches are switched.

Setting the Timing Used for Switching Patches (Patch Change Mode)

This sets the timing with which the GT-6B switches to the next patch when switching patches with the pedals.

The Patch Change mode appears only when “BANK/ NUMBER” has been chosen as the Patch Select mode.

1.Press [UTILITY], then press PARAMETER [ ]

[ ] so that “Patch Change” is displayed.

2.Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to set the timing for switching patches.

Immediate:

The patch switches the instant a BANK pedal or any of the number pedals is pressed.

Wait for a NUM.:

Although the indication in the display is updated to reflect the change in the bank when a BANK pedal is pressed, the patch doesn’t get changed at that point. The actual change to the newly selected patch takes place only after a number pedal has been pressed, and a complete bank and number combination has thus been entered.

3.Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
