What is a Patch
A "patch" is a sound you play on the GR-20; in addition to
the type of sound, a patch also contains settings for effects
such as reverb and chorus.
The GR-20's patches are organized into ten banks by type,
with the patches numbered within each bank.
In Play mode, the BANK indicator and the display show the
patch that is currently selected.
You can edit the settings of a patch to your taste, and store
edited patches in the USER bank (p. 24).
You can use any of the following ways to select a patch.
Using the Knob to Select Patches
1. Use the [BANK] knob to select the type of sound you
want.
From the ten sound banks and the user bank, select the
bank that contains the sound you want to use.
2. Use the [NUMBER/VALUE] knob to select a sound
within the bank.
Turning the [NUMBER/ VALUE] knob will change the
number shown in the display, letting you choose from
various sounds within the selected bank.
