Saving/recalling sounds (memory mode)

With memory mode, you can save the sound settings to this unit, and
recall what you saved afterwards.
In contrast, "manual mode" lets you switch each effect on/off using
the pedals.

How the patches are configured

A combination of effects and the parameter settings is called a
"patch".
The ME-90 can store 72 different patches. These patches are
organized by bank and number as shown below.
Preset bank 9
Preset bank 1
Read-only (write unavailable)
User bank 9
User bank 1
Write/read OK
Each patch within a bank corresponds to a numbered pedal.
Switching between manual/memory
mode

Setting what happens when switching from
memory mode to manual mode
When switching from memory to manual mode, you can select
whether the sound switches according to the knob settings on the
panel, or whether the memory mode sound carries over.
For details on the settings, refer to "Configuring the device overall

Checking the knob positions

When you recall a sound (patch) in memory mode (p. 6), the
value of the parameters you're setting may differ from the position
indicated by the knobs.
You can make the actual parameter value show up in the display, so
that you can check it.
1 .
Hold down the [EDIT] button and turn the knob for
the parameter you want to check.
The knob value is shown for a certain amount of time in the
display.
When the knob's position and value match, the tuning guides on
both sides of the display light up.
