Switching Memories With the GFC-50

The VGA-3's forty memories are divided up into Banks 0, 1, 2, and 3 as shown below.

You can use the GFC-50 to call up and store (write) settings in all of the memories.

The forty memories can be accessed by specifying them in terms of the GFC-50's banks (0–3) and numbers (1–10).

If Bank 1, 2, or 3 is specified with the foot controller, and

the power is turned off and then on again, the VGA-3’s

memory still returns to Bank 0.
