What is a Patch?

The GS-10 can store 200 combinations (or “sets”) of effects and parameter settings. Each of these sets is called a “patch.”

Patches include both User patches and Preset patches.

Preset Patches (P101–P200)

The Preset patches contain effect settings that really help bring out the special characteristics of the GS-10.

Although you cannot overwrite the Preset patches with your own settings, you can change (edit) a Preset patch’s settings, then save the result as a User patch. (p. 25)

* A “p” appears in the display when a Preset patch is being used.

*If you want to set a limit to the number of patches that can be selected with the PATCH/VALUE dial, change the system function settings (p. 65).

*Settings currently being edited are cleared when you switch patches. If you want to save the setting changes you’ve made, use the Write procedure (p. 25).
