Chapter 5 Setting/Changing Sounds (Patches)
The Relationship Between Arpeggiator /
Harmonist and Patches
When you are playing, you can use the arpeggiator or the
harmonist. For each patch, you can select one of these
functions (p. 78, 82) and also determine whether or not it will
be active (p. 77, 81) when the patch is selected.
Saving Patches
Generally, you create and modify patches by using
[PARAMETER] to select parameters in Patch Edit mode, and
turning [VALUE] to select the desired values.
It is important to remember that if you simply switch to
another patch, the changes you have made will be lost, and
the edited patch will revert to its original state. (The lowest
decimal point in the three-digital display lights (p. 32) to
warn you of this.) To save any changes you have made, use
the following steps to perform the Patch Write operation
before changing to another patch.
Performing a Patch Write

Press [WRITE]-you enter Write mode, and a screen

Likewise, you can select arpeggio patterns-the sequence of
strings that the arpeggiator function creates and plays-for
each patch individually from among the available 50
patterns.

For more details about making these settings, refer to
"Selecting Arpeggio Patterns (ARP PATTERN)" (p. 79).
4. After making sure that you want to complete this
operation-and that you are ready to write over the
patch currently in the selected destination location-
press [WRITE] once again.

Once you have performed these steps, the changes you have
made to the patch will be recalled when that patch is
selected, even if you switch to another patch or tum the
power off.

If you write without designating a location wlzere the patch
is
to be sm•ed, you will overwrite the original version of the
patch, and that version vf the patch will be discarded.
• As l'atclz Groups E through Hare read-only, you cmmot
overwrile them by s11ving a patch to their locations.
Cautions When Saving
With Patch Write, the patch is written the way it actually
sounds at the time you write it, and this includes whether the
Arpeggiator or Harmon.ist functions are turned on or off.
However, temporary tone changes made with the base
module pedals, such as wah and pitch glide, or those from
external expression pedals, will not be saved. This also
applies to the temporary switching off of internal effects
using the effect bypass function (p. 75).

these settings are saved automatically, mu/ are stored even
after the power is turned off.
