Notes When Using Memory Mode

About Tone Changes

By operating the knobs, you can change the tone of a patch
while it's called up. Note, however, that the changed tone is
only temporary, and will be lost when you switch patches or
switch to the Tuner mode (p. 24).
If you want to store it in memory, carry out the Write
procedure (p. 21).
* If there is a discrepancy between the current knob position and
the parameter stored in the patch, the change in the parameter
begins at the point when the knob is moved past the position
matching the parameter value as stored in the patch.
* In Memory mode, you cannot switch effects on or off using the
No. 1, 2, and 3 pedals.

About the Tempo Setting

If you hold down the currently selected number pedal for at
least two seconds, the pedal indicator flashes, and the ME-50
switches to tempo setting mode, and the number pedal can
then be used to input the tempo.
The unit functions as follows depending on the on/off status
of MODULATION and DELAY.
* When DELAY and MODULATION are both off, you cannot
change to tempo setting mode.
When DELAY is ON
(but TYPE is not set to HOLD or TAP )
You can use the tap input to set the delay time.
* If both DELAY and MODULATION are on, only the delay
can be set.
When MODULATION is ON
You can set the RATE for the effect selected with the TYPE
knob (except for HARMONIST).
Note, however, that the tempo setting is only temporary, and
will be lost when you switch patches or switch to the Tuner
mode (p. 24).
If you want to store it in memory, carry out the Write
procedure (p. 21).
