Creating a Patch

With the VC-1, you have total control over a wide variety of settings. Each item that can be set is known
as a "parameter." When you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred to as
"editing." This chapter explains the procedures used in creating patches, and the functions of the patch
parameters.
There are two methods of sound creation.
• Editing an existing sound.
• Initializing all the parameters of a certain Partial, and then editing the Partial. (p. 49)
* Changes you make to sound settings are temporary, and will be lost if you turn off the power or select another sound.
If you want to keep the modified sound, you must save it. ("Saving Patches" (p. 27))

How to Make the Patch Settings

A number of patch Factors and Tone Parameters are shown in each window.

1.
Access the PATCH TOP screen, and select the patch whose
settings you wish to modify (p. 12).
* If you want to create all your patches from the ground up, rather than the
patches that have already been prepared, carry out the Initialize
operation (p. 49).
2.
The parameters are organized into several editing groups. Touch
one of the buttons at the bottom of the screen to select the edit
group containing the parameters you want to set.

3.
Touch one of the tabs in the left of the screen to select the desired
editing screen.
4.
When editing a parameter that requires you to specify a value,
move the cursor to the value box of that parameter. Then modify
the value by either turning the VALUE dial or pressing [INC/+] or
[DEC/-]. You can also modify a value by dragging over the touch
screen.
5.
Repeat steps 2–4 to complete a patch.
6.
If you wish to save the changes you've made, perform the Save
operation (p. 27). If you do not wish to save changes, press [EXIT]
to return to the PATCH TOP screen.
* If you return to the PATCH TOP screen without saving, the display will indicate "EDITED," reminding you that
the patch settings have been modified. If you turn off the power or select a different patch while the display indicates
"EDITED," your edited patch will be lost.
