9 Patch Switching (Application: Bank Hold ON)

In the initial setting, the patch pedal switches all patches in order, regardless of the bank divisions.

The bank hold function limits switching to the four patches within a bank. When this function is activated, the patch pedals switch in order between the patches in the current bank only.

To activate this function, hold the EDIT key down for at least 1 second in Play mode. The BANK HOLD indicator will light. To turn the function off, again hold the EDIT key down for at least 1 second. The BANK HOLD indicator will go off.

Banks can be switched using the VALUE +/- keys.

Bank Hold ON

Keeping the EDIT key depressed for at least 1 second activates Bank Hold. To cancel Bank Hold, press the EDIT key again for 1 second.

10 Patch Switching (Application: Direct Load OFF)

In the default condition, the 508 is set up in such a way that pressing a patch pedal immediately switches the patch and alters the output sound. This is called Direct Load ON. This switching principle is most convenient when the desired patches are adjacent or close to each other. However, when wanting to switch to a patch that is further away, it may be desirable not to activate the sound of the other patches in between.

When this is desired, turn the Direct Load function off as follows. When Direct Load has been turned off, switching banks and patches has no effect until the user confirms the selection.

DIRECT LOAD OFF

Keeping STORE key depressed for 1 second turns Direct Load off.

The same procedure serves to turn it on.

Bank switching

Banks A, b, C, d, E, F can be switched.

PATCH PATCH

DOWN UP

Patch switching

Patches can be switched.

For example, when going from

patch 1 to patch 4 with Direct Load active, patches 2 and 3 will briefly be heard when the patch UP pedal is pressed three times. When Direct Load is off, pressing the patch UP pedal will change the number on the display (the number flashes), but until the user confirms the choice, the sound remains that of patch 1.

To turn Direct Load on or off, keep the STORE key depressed for at least 1 second.

To confirm a choice after selecting a patch with Direct Load off, press both patch pedals simultaneously.

Confirming a patch

When display indication flashes, pressing both patch pedals together confirms the patch and switches the output sound.

Press both pedals together
