Quick Guide (Let's Play) - Zoom 708II Bass Operation Manual

Quick Guide
Immediately after being turned on, the 708II is in the so-called "play mode". The Quick Guide
explains the basic steps in play mode. This will let you use the unit right away.
Selecting a patch
In play mode, press one of
1
the [W]/[Q] foot switches.
In play mode, the information shown
at right appears on the display and
the [BANK/PATCH] indicator.
2 To directly switch the bank, press one of
the TYPE [W]/[Q] keys.
Each push of a key switches to the next bank.
◆
For a detailed explanation of patch switching, see p. 10.
◆
To set up the unit so that the patch sound is switched only after
confirmation, see p. 23.
Patches, groups and banks
A combination of 708II effects, each with
distinct parameter settings, is called a patch.
Patches are organized in banks (A - F, 0 - 5)
and patch numbers (0 - 9). It is also possible
to assign a name of up to six characters to a
patch.
The patches of the 708II are stored in two
different groups: the USER group (banks A
- F) for read-and-write patches that can be
freely overwritten by the user, and the
PRESET group (0 - 5) for read-only patches
that cannot be changed by the user. There
are 60 patches in each group, resulting in a
total of 120 patches.

Altering an effect with
the pedal
To alter an effect in real
1
time, move the
expression pedal while
playing your instrument.
The effect depth or volume changes as you move the
pedal. Which parameter changes depends on the patch.
2 To switch the effect
module on or off, push
the expression pedal
fully down.
The expression pedal also incorporates
a push-down switch that allows on/off
control of a specific effect module.
◆
For details on selecting the effect module to be
controlled by the pedal, see p. 23.
