Storing And Recalling Patches - Yamaha BBT500-110 Owner's Manual

Operating Instructions

Storing and Recalling Patches

After creating a sound that you like, you can store its settings in the
unit's internal memory. Sound setting data (individual knob settings) is
called a Patch. Saving a patch to the unit's internal memory is called
Store.
The BBT500 provides five memory locations for storing patch data.
Patch data in the memory is stored even when the power is switched
OFF, and can be recalled at any time by pressing the patch's corre-
sponding switch. Take note that unless the changes are saved to memory,
any changes made to the patch will be lost when another patch is se-
lected or when the power is switched OFF.
After creating a sound you want to keep for later use, press and hold
any one of the Memory Switches (1-5) until all of the front panel indica-
tors light.
Ex.) Press and hold Memory Switch [1] until all indicators light.
* INPUT LEVEL and OUTPUT LEVEL settings are not stored in memory.
Recalling a Patch
To use one of the patches stored in memory, just press the Memory
Switch [1]-[5] to which the data is stored.
The indicator of the selected Memory Switch lights.
Ex.) Recalling the patch stored to Memory Switch [2].
After you recall or store a patch, the value for each knob will appear in
the display when the knob (COMP - TREBLE) is used.

Storing a Patch
However, if the value set in the patch is different than the knob's actual
position, the patch's value will flash in the display but it will not change,
nor will the sound, even though you are turning the knob. For more infor-
mation on this situation, refer to the "Knob Position and Settings" sec-
tion below.
● Knob Position and Settings
When a patch is recalled from memory, etc., it may be that the
knob's actual position differs from the value set in the recalled
patch.
In this case, the BBT500 is programmed to flash the patch's
value on the display without changing it or the sound until the
knob's position corresponds to the value in the recalled patch
setting.
If the display flashes when rotating the knob, continue rotating
the knob until its position matches the flashing value. When the
position and value match, the value will stop flashing on the
display and change as the knob is turned.
Ex.) If the GAIN knob is pointing at the "3 o'clock" posi-
tion and a patch with a GAIN setting of 4.0 is recalled.
The value "4.0" flashes on the display
but rotating the knob from the "3
o'clock" position to the "11 o'clock"
position does not change anything.
● The Useful "Undo" Function
Press and hold the [MANUAL] switch activates the "Undo" func-
tion, which returns settings to the condition they were in prior to
pressing a Memory Switch [1]-[5] or the [MANUAL] switch.
This function is useful in cases such as:
You've just made some changes to the patch saved in Memory
Switch [1] but pressed Memory Switch [2] before you could save
the changes to memory. Press and hold the [MANUAL] switch to
return the settings to the same condition they were in before you
pressed Memory Switch [2].
In the same manner, you made some changes to a patch but
pressed the [MANUAL] switch before you could save those
changes to memory. Press and hold the [MANUAL] button to re-
store your changes.
As the knob goes past the "11
o'clock" position and its position
matches that of the value, the
value will then stop flashing and
start changing according to the
knob's position.
