Using The Insert Effects; Effect Patches And Banks - Boss BR-1180 Owner's Manual

Using the insert effects

The BR-1180/1180CD comes with two onboard effects
processors: an insert effect and loop effects. These two types
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.
For a more detailed explanation of insert and loop
effects, refer to "What are insert effects?" (p. 34) and
"What are loop effects?" (p. 40) respectively.
An insert effect can not only be used while recording,
but can also be used on a specific track during playback,
or be applied to the sound of tracks being mixed. For
more details, refer to "Changing the insert effect
connections" (p. 55).

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-1180/1180CD 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 structure of a Bank is
shown below.

Your BR-1180/1180CD allows you to automatically change
banks by pressing an INPUT SELECT button. For example,
pressing the [GUITAR/BASS] INPUT SELECT button
changes you to a guitar bank patch, and pressing [LINE]
changes you to a line bank patch.

Also, within each bank, patches are further grouped as
shown below.
• User patches (U01–U50)
* guitar bank: U01–U100
• Song patches (S01–S50)
* guitar bank: S01–S100
• Preset patches (P01–P50)
* guitar bank: P01–P100
Preset Patches
The preset patches contain preset data. Their settings can be
changed, but you cannot create a new preset patch.
User Patches
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
Song patches can be rewritten in the same way as user
patches, but the patch data is saved to disk together with the
song data. 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.
Your BR-1180/1180CD is shipped with the user patches
containing the same patches as the preset patches.
When you create a new song, copies of the patches in the
user patches are made in the song patches for each bank.
