IN settings
→ If the USB IN parameter is set to COSM BASS A, COSM
BASS B, or NORMAL PU, then MAIN & SUB will be set
the next time the VB-99 is powered up. If you plan to use
COSM BASS A, COSM BASS B, or NORMAL PU,
remake this setting each time you turn on the power to
the VB-99 (p. 152).
Patches not switching
❏
Is some screen other than the Play screen shown in the
display?

other than the Play screen. Press [EXIT] one or more

ASSIGN are given priority.
To enable the settings in the patch, set the controllers
under [SYSTEM] - CONTROL ASSIGN to ASSIGNABLE
(PATCH).
