Chapter8—Patching

Patch library

Patch settings that you make in the SETUP screen Patch IN page and Patch OUT page can be stored in the patch library as one of twenty patch programs. The con- tents of the patch library are saved on the internal hard disk as part of the song. Here’s how to use the patch library.

❒Storing to the patch library

Here’s how to assign a name to your patch settings, and store them in the patch library.

1.Press the [SETUP] key → [F3] (Patch Lib) key.

The display will show the PATCH screen Patch Lib page. The list in the lower part of the display shows the contents of the patch library.

Tip!

•If the Patch Lib tab is not assigned to the [F3] key, press the [SHIFT] key + [F1] key to switch the tabs, and then press the [F3] key.

•Patch library numbers in which no data has been stored will be displayed with a title of “[No Data!]”.

2.Use the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the patch library number (01–20) in which you will store the settings.

Tip!

Patch library number 00 contains a preset patch program (recall-only) that returns all patch settings to the initial state. For this reason, your settings cannot be stored in patch number 00.

3.Move the cursor to the STORE button, and press the [ENTER] key.

A TITLE EDIT popup window will appear, allowing you to assign a name to the patch program.

4.Use the CURSOR []/[]/[ ]/[ ] keys and the [ENTER] key to specify the name for the patch program.
