To switch the patch, press one of the [W]/[Q] foot switches.
Pressing the [W] foot switch calls up the next lower patch, and pressing the [Q] foot
switch calls up the next higher patch.
Repeatedly pressing one foot switch cycles through patches in the order A0 – A9 ... d0 – d9
→ 00 – 09 ... 30 – 39 → A0, or the reverse order.
Immediately after turning the G2 on, the
