Applying an effect

Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select an effect pattern.

“P” in front of the number indicates a preset effect pattern, “U” indicates a user effect pattern, and “C” indicates a effect pattern saved on a memory card.

You can rapidly switch between preset (P), user (U), and card (C) by holding down the [SHIFT] button and pressing the [INC] or [DEC] button.

When selecting a effect pattern from a card, or when switching to another effect pattern while the current effect pattern plays, press the [ENTER] button to finalize your selection.

Depending on the pattern you select, the indicator of the [LEAD], [BASS], or [RHYTHM] button will blink, and the [LOOP CTRL] button's indicator may light (Loop Control: On). This indicates that the selected pattern includes Loop Control settings (p. 53).

 

The selected pattern number will blink until you finalize it.
