Selecting Patches

Patch switching
24 patches are available
The 24 patches can be selected easily by
pressing the patch pedals. The right patch
pedal switches to the next patch and the
left patch pedal switches to the previous
patch.
In the initial condition, the 505 is set up
so that the patch pedals select patches
continuously, but you can also set up the
unit so that patches are switched only
within a certain bank [see the section
"Patch Switching (Application: Bank
Hold")].
Bank switching is performed with the
VALUE + / - keys.
If for example the currently selected patch
is patch 2 of bank A, and you want to
switch to patch 3 of bank C, you would
need to press the UP pedal nine times.
Instead, you can press the VALUE + key
twice and then the UP pedal once.
If the optional FS01 is connected to the
CONTROL IN jack on the rear panel, the
foot switch can be used as a bank UP
pedal. This allows full foot control, which
is highly convenient during a
performance.
Using the Bypass (Mute)/Tuner Mode

In the Bypass mode, the effects of
the 505 are temporarily turned off,
so that the original sound of the
instrument only is heard. In this
mode, the auto-chromatic tuning
function is also active. It is also
possible to activate muting, to
prevent the tuning sound from
being sent to the output.
