Changing the Sound of a Patch

The patches of the GFX-3 can be modified by changing effect types and parameters. This section shows
how to edit patches.

Patch configuration
Each patch of the GFX-3 consists of several
effects (effect modules), as shown in the
illustration above. A patch is a stored
combination of modules, each with their distinct
parameter settings.
Within each module, there are several different
but related effects which are called effect types.
For example, the MOD (modulation) module
comprises effect types such as CHORUS,
PHASER, and WAH, of which one can be
selected.
The elements that determine the sound of a patch
are called effect parameters. Each module has
certain effect parameters, whose value can be
adjusted with the effect module keys,
PARAMETER keys, [VALUE] dial, etc.

Also within the same module, different effect
types will have different parameters.

Basic editing

The most common steps for editing a patch are
shown below. For a detailed description of effect
types and parameters in each module, see the
section "Effect Types and Parameters" on pages

1.
Select the patch to edit.
Patches for editing can be selected from either a
preset group (A, b) or a user group (U/u).
Patches from a preset group are read-only. If you
have altered such a patch and want to keep it,
you must store it in a user group (
2.
To change the patch level, operate
the [VALUE] dial.
While the group/bank number indication is
shown on the display, the [VALUE] dial can be
used to adjust the patch level (final output level
of the patch).
When you turn the dial, the current patch level
setting (1 - 30) appears on the display. A dot (.)
in the bottom right of the display indicates that
the patch has been edited.
