6.Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the type of effect (Patch), and press [YES].

As you rotate the TIME/VALUE dial, the number and name of the displayed effect will change, and will be blinking. When you press [YES], the display will stop blinking, and the effect that is displayed will be selected.

Each of the 300 effects is assigned a number A00ÐA99, B00ÐB99 and U00ÐU99. They are referred to as ÒPatches.Ó A00ÐA99 and B00ÐB99 are Preset Patches (which cannot be modified), and U00ÐU99 are User Patches (whose settings can be modified). At the factory settings, the User Patches contain the same effects as the Preset Patches A00ÐA99.

The contents of the Preset Patches are listed in the included VS8F-1 Preset Patch list sheet. Some of the Preset Patches are of a type which add an effect sound to the original sound (Loop), while others are of a type which modifies the original sound itself (Insert). Since in this example we want to apply an effect to the entire song, select a Loop type effect patch.

7.After you have selected an effect patch, press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to Play condition.
