and turn the [VALUE] dial to select a
setting.
The control waveform cycle is based on the rhythm
pattern tempo and can be set in measures and beats.
The following settings are available.
0.5: eighth note b1: 1 measure
1: quarter note b2: 2 measures
2: half note b3: 3 measures
3: dotted half note b4: 4 measures
■ Setting the expression pedal action
range
When "ARRM" or "ARRM + PEDAL" is selected
as control source, the action range of the pedal (the
amount by which the parameter changes in response
to moving the pedal) can be set.
7.
With the TOTAL module selected as
Q
editing target, use the PARAMETER [
W
[ ] keys to bring up the indication "R-
MODE" on the display.
When you turn the [VALUE] dial in this condition,
you can select one of the following settings for
parameter change direction and range.
● UP
When the control source is "PEDAL", the
parameter is minimum when the pedal is fully
raised and maximum when the pedal is fully pushed
down.
When the control source is "ARRM + PEDAL", the
parameter change caused by ARRM (the waveform
amplitude) will increase from minimum to
maximum as the pedal is pushed down.
"UP"
PEDAL Maximum ARRM+PEDAL
Minimum
● dn
With this setting, pedal action is opposite to that
with the "UP" setting. In the raised condition, the
22
parameter is maximum and it decreases gradually as
the pedal is pushed down.
"dn"
Maximum
PEDAL ARRM+PEDAL
Minimum
● Hi
When the control source is "PEDAL", the current
patch setting for the parameter applies when the
pedal is fully raised and the setting increases to
maximum as the pedal is pushed down.
When the control source is "ARRM + PEDAL", the
parameter change caused by ARRM (the waveform
amplitude) will increase from the current patch
setting to maximum as the pedal is pushed down.

setting
● Lo
When the control source is "PEDAL", the
parameter is minimum when the pedal is fully
raised and gradually increases up to the current
patch setting as the pedal is pushed down.
When the control source is "ARRM + PEDAL", the
parameter change caused by ARRM (the waveform
amplitude) will increase from minimum to the
current patch setting as the pedal is pushed down.

When you have completed the setting
procedure, press the [EDIT/EXIT] key to
return to the play mode. If necessary,
store the patch to retain any changes
(→ p. 19).
■ Checking the effect
9.
Play your instrument to try out the settings.
When the control source is "PEDAL", the effect
parameter of the control target should change
according to how you operate the pedal.
When the control source is "ARRM", the effect
parameter should change cyclically according to the
selected waveform.
When the control source is "ARRM + PEDAL", the
control waveform should change according to how
you operate the pedal.
H
INT
Regardless of which control source is selected,
pushing the expression pedal all the way down
switches the control target effect module (or the
sampler function) on and off.

Using the hold delay function

The REV module comprises a hold delay
(HLDDLY) effect that allows recording and playing
a guitar phrase of up to two seconds. You can also
play the phrase in reverse or perform loop playback
to create interesting "sound-on-sound" layers.
1.
In play mode, select the patch to use with
hold delay.
2.
Press the [EDIT/EXIT] key to activate edit
mode, and select "HLDDLY" as effect type
for the REV module.
3.
To set the recording time, use the
Q W
PARAMETER [ ]/[ ] keys to bring up
the indication "TIME" on the display, and
then turn the [VALUE] dial.
ZOOM GFX-5
Other Functions
The hold delay effect has three parameters: TIME,
MODE, and MIX. The TIME parameter determines
the hold delay recording interval. The setting range
is as follows.
• 1 – 99: 10 – 990 milliseconds (10-ms units)
• 1.0 – 2.0: 1.0 – 2.0 seconds (100-ms units)
• Mn (Manual): Recording is controlled manually
(max. 2 seconds).
4.
To set the phrase playback mode, use the
Q W
PARAMETER [ ]/[ ] keys to bring up
the indication "MODE" on the display, and
then turn the [VALUE] dial.
The MODE parameter determines the way the
recorded phrase is played back. The following
settings are available.
• nL (Normal): Normal direction playback
• So (Sound-on-sound): Recorded contents are
played back repeatedly to create an overlay. By
repeating the recording procedure after the
previous pass is finished, multiple layers can be
created.
• rS (Reverse): Reverse direction playback
5.
To set the mixing balance between
original sound and delay sound, use the
Q W
PARAMETER [ ]/[ ] keys to bring up
the indication "MIX" on the display, and
then turn the [VALUE] dial.
The MIX parameter controls the mixing ratio of the
delayed sound. A setting of 30 results in equal
levels of original sound and delayed sound.
6.
Use the [CONTROL] key and [ASSIGN]
key to select "PEDAL" as control source
and "REV" as control target.
7.
Store the patch and return to play mode.
When a patch in which hold delay can be used is
selected in play mode, the [REV] key LED and the
[ASSIGN] key LED are flashing.
