6 Storing & Copying Programs

Arranging Programs for Performance

You can use the copy function to arrange programs logically for easy recall during a performance. Take a typical song structure for example (intro, verse, refrain, etc.). For each part of the song, you may want to use a different effect program. To ensure uninterrupted performance, you can copy the programs used in the song into an order similar to the following example:

Program Number

Song Section

A0Introduction

A1Verse

A2Refrain

A3Verse

A4Bridge

A5Refrain

With an arrangement like this, you can just press the Program Up button or footswitch once to progress to each section of your song. Using the 80 available program locations, you can even arrange the programs conveniently for multiple songs in a set. For example, you can use programs A0-A5 for the first song, programs A6-B0 for the second song, and so on.

Another convenient way to switch programs during a performance is to enter deferred program-change mode, which is explained in chapter 8.
