Chapter 1 Playing Sounds
What is a Patch?
When performing on your bass, you may select a variety of different tones according to what and where you are playing. The effects you want to use and the parameter settings (knob positions) will vary depending on the tone.
You can store combinations, or “sets,” of volume level and other of these parameter settings, and by using the pedals to switch these sets, you can change tones instantly. Each of these stored sets is called a “patch.” The
Patches within each bank are distinguished by the patch “number”

Preset Banks (P1–P0)
These are indicated by a “P*” appearing in the left display.
Number
*Although you cannot overwrite the Preset patches, you can change (edit) a Preset patch’s settings. You can then save the resulting changes in the setting as a User patch.
Numbers
The number appears at the left side of the right display, and is indicated by a numeral from “1” through “4.”
Selecting Patches
How to Switch Patches
Patches are switched by rotating the PATCH/VALUE dial while in the “Play screen.” You can also switch patches by pressing the PATCH pedals.
●When you turn the PATCH/VALUE dial to the right
(clockwise) or press the PATCH 
pedal, the patch
numbers are switched in ascending order, i.e., 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → (next bank) 1 → 2 → ...etc.
●When you turn the PATCH/VALUE dial to the left
(counterclockwise) or press the PATCH 
pedal, the patch numbers are switched in descending order, i.e., 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 → (bank before the current bank) 4 → 3 →
...etc.
*You cannot switch patches unless the Play screen (p. 13) is displayed. Press [EXIT] (p. 10) to return to the Play screen.
*You cannot switch patches with the PATCH/VALUE dial when the dial function (p. 62) is set to VALUE only.
