EQ MOD
Effect module combinations and effect
parameter settings are stored and
recalled in units called "patches".
These are divided into user banks (A –
F) which can be changed, and preset
banks (0 – 5) which are read-only.
Because each bank has 10 patches
(numbered from 0 – 9), there are 120
patches in all.
