Applying an effect

Saving your effect settings

If you want to save your effect settings or effect control settings, you must

save the effect pattern.

* All your changes will be lost if you select another effect pattern or turn off the power

before saving.

* The Save operation cannot be performed while a effect pattern is playing.

The following data will be saved

•Effect type

•Parameter settings (the settings of the C1–C3 knobs)

•Effect control settings

•Loop control settings (p. 56)

(If loop control settings are not included)

1Press the [WRITE] button.

The effect pattern number in the display will blink.

2Use the [INC] and [DEC] buttons to select the save-destination

effect pattern number.

Select U01–U20 if you want to save the settings in internal memory. Select

C01– C50 if you want to save the settings on a memory card.

* Since the data you save will overwrite any previous data at that location, the

previous data will be lost. Make sure that the selected number does not contain a

pattern you want to keep.

3Press the [WRITE] button to execute.

The display will indicate “Sur”, asking you to confirm the operation.

4Press the [WRITE] button to save the settings.

While a pattern is being saved, the display will show “bsy”. When the data

has been saved, you will return to the screen in which you were prior to

beginning the Save process.

* Should you decide that you don’t want to carry out the save, press the [EXIT]

button.

You can save 20 patterns

(total for LEAD, BASS,

RHYTHM, and EFFECTS

groups) in internal

memory.
