Chapter 2 Creating Your Own Favorite Tones (Patches)

What is a Patch?

The GT-PRO can store 400 combinations (or "sets") of effects
and parameter settings.
Each of these sets is called a "Patch," with patches organized
by Bank (1–40) and Number (1–10) as shown below.

User Banks (1–20)
Newly created effects settings are saved in the User banks.
Patches in these banks are called "User patches."
A "U" appears in the right display when a User patch is
being used.

Preset Banks (21–40)
The Preset banks contain effect settings that really help bring
out the special characteristics of the GT-PRO. The patches in
these banks are called "Preset patches." Although you cannot
overwrite the Preset patches with your own settings, you can
change (edit) a Preset patch's settings, then save the result as
a User patch.
A "P" appears in the right display when a Preset patch is
being used.

* When the GT-PRO is set to FC-200 mode (p. 81), the banks
are indicated by numbers one less than the normal numbers
(User: 0–19; Preset: 20–39).

How to Switch Patches
(Patch Change)
Whenever you're at the Play screen, you can turn the
PATCH/VALUE dial to change patches.
fig.02-0040d
Bank
To switch banks at a time, press [SHIFT] so its indicator is
lighted (Shift: ON), then rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial.
* Use the setting on p. 98 when you want to set the upper limit
for patches that can be selected with the PATCH/VALUE dial.
* Unconfirmed changes in settings are cleared when patches are
switched. If you want to save changed settings, carry out the
Write procedure (p. 24).
You can also set the unit so certain effects continue to be
used with a following patch after you switch patches. For
details, refer to "Keeping Effect Sounds Playing After
Patches Are Switched (Patch Change Mode)" (p. 97).
If the Patch Does Not Switch
On the GT-PRO, you cannot switch patches in any screen
other than the Play screen. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play
screen (p. 16).
