Using Insert Effects; Effect Patches And Banks - Roland BR-800 Owner's Manual

Using Insert Effects

The BR-800 has independent processors for four different
kinds of effects: insert effects, loop effects, track EQ, and
mastering effects.
You can use these simultaneously, and make settings for
each as appropriate for your needs.
This chapter explains how to edit the insert effect processor,
and how to save your edited settings.
"Adding a Sense of Spaciousness" (p. 83)
"Adjusting the Tone of Each Track" (p. 86)
Not only can you use an insert effect during
recording, you can also apply an effect to the sound
of each track during mixdown.
For details, refer to "Changing the Location of the
Insert Effect (LOCATION)" (p. 58).

Effect Patches and Banks

By calling up "effect patches," you can switch the effects
used by the insert effect and the parameters of each effect.
The BR-800 provides a variety of effect patches suitable for
use with vocals and a variety of instruments. These effect
patches are organized by their type into six "banks."

Effect patches are further organized within each bank as
follows.
Preset patches
Preset patches already contain patch data; although you are
free to edit these settings, you cannot write modified
settings into the preset patches.
User patches
User patches can be rewritten, and the user patch data is
stored in the BR-800's internal memory. If you've created a
patch and would like to use it in another song as well, it's
convenient to store it as a user patch.
Song patches
Song patches can be rewritten in the same way as user
patches, but the patch data is stored on the SD card along
with the song data.
This is convenient if you used the patch when recording a
performance, and would like to save it together with the
song.

Song patches (S) cannot be selected if no SD card is
inserted.
When the BR-800 is shipped from the factory, each
bank's user patches (U) and song patches (S)
contain the same patches as the preset patches (P).
