Using The Insert Effects; Effect Patches And Banks - Boss BR-864 Owner's Manual

Using the insert effects

The BR-864 comes with four effects processors: an insert
effects, loop effects, Track EQ, and Mastering Tool Kit.
An insert effects, loop effects, and Track EQ can be used
simultaneously, and you can make settings for each effect as
desired.
Here is an explanation of how to change the various
parameters for the insert effects and how to then save those
changes.
"Insert Effect Parameter Functions" (p. 110)
"Loop Effect Parameter Functions" (p. 131)
"Track EQ Parameter Functions" (p. 133)
Insert effects are applied during recording, in addition
they are applied during the mixing of the various tracks
as well. For more details, refer to "Changing how the
insert effects are used according to the mode" (p. 59).

Effect patches and banks

The effects used by insert effects and the parameters of each
effect are changed by calling up "effect patches."
Your BR-864 comes equipped with a number of preset effect
patches for use with vocals and instruments. These are
grouped according to different input sources and each group
is called a "bank."

the [GUITAR/BASS] INPUT SELECT button changes you to
a guitar bank patch, and pressing [LINE] changes you to a

Preset patches (P)
The preset patches contain preset data. Their settings can be
changed, but you cannot create a new preset patch.
User patches (U)
User patches can be rewritten, and are stored in internal
memory. If you have created a patch that you would like to
use for other songs as well, it is convenient to store it as a
user patch.
Song patches (S)
Like user patches, song patches can be written; however, the
data for song patches are stored along with the song data to
the memory card. This is convenient when you have created
a patch for a specific recorded performance, and would like
to store that patch together with the song.

inserted.
Your BR-864 is shipped with the user patches (U) and
song patches (S) containing the same patches as the
preset patches (P).
When you create a new song, copies of the patches in the
song patches (S) are made in the preset patches (P) for
each bank.
