Saving Effect Settings
What is a patch?
The EF-303 can store various effect settings (algorithm type
and knob/slider settings) together into what is known as a
"patch." The internal memory of the EF-303 is capable of
storing up to 16 patches.
When purchased, the memory contains patches that you
might find immediately useful. Or, you can overwrite them
at will.
A group of four such patches is referred to as a "bank." The
EF-303 has four banks, [1]-[4], with 4 (banks) x 4 (numbers)
for a total of 16 patches.

Saving a patch (PATCH) (p. 44)
Selecting a patch
You can select a patch by pressing the [BANK] button and
one of the [1]-[4] buttons.
When you select a patch, the [EFFECTS CONTROL] knob
and [STEP MODULATOR] slider settings stored in that patch
will be recalled.
1.
Press the [BANK] button to enter bank input mode.
At this time, the bank number will be blinking in the BPM
display.
If you wish to exit this mode, press the [EXIT] button.
2.
Pressa button from [1] through [4] to input the bank.
At this time, the item that is blinking in the BPM display will
change—instead of the bank select number, it will be the
patch select number.
If you wish to return to bank input mode, press the [EXIT]
button.
3. Once again press one of the [1]-[4] buttons to input the
number.
Checking the parameters of a patch
When selecting a patch, the parameter values will not always
necessarily match the position of the slider/knobs.
* If you hold down the [SHIFT] button and move the
knobs, the BPM display will show the patch parameter
values, allowing you to check the settings of that patch.
(The actual position of the knobs will not be applied to
the effect.)
* If you hold down the [SHIFT] button and [SELECT]
Button and move the knobs or slider, the BPM display
will show the actual values of knobs and the slider. The
actual values of the knobs and the slider will be applied
to the effect.
What is the [MANUAL]
[Manual] is a function that makes the parameters match the
positions of the sliders/knobs while editing.
When you edit a patch to change the sound, the various
parameter values will not necessarily match the positions of
the sliders/knobs. When you use manual mode, the sound
will always match the position of the sliders/knobs, making
this mode useful when you are creating sounds from scratch.
* When the Manual mode button's LED is blinking, the
parameter values will not always necessarily match the
position of the slider/knobs.
Factory-set patches
With the factory settings, internal memory contains sixteen
patches for immediate use. (*Refer to the table below.)
You can make your own parameter settings, and save them
by overwriting the factory patches. For details refer to
"Saving a patch."
