Reserving The Next Patch (Direct Load); Fixing The Bank (Bank Hold) - Zoom GFX-707 Operation Manual

Reserving the Next Patch (DIRECT LOAD)

In the factory default condition, patches are switched as soon as you make the selection, resulting
in an immediate change in the sound. This is called "Direct Load". If you want to change to a distant
patch (for example from patch A1 to patch E5), all the intermediate patches will briefly change the
sound, which may not be desirable. In such a case, you can reserve the patch and cause the patch
change to be delayed until confirmed by you. This function is activated as follows;
1
In play mode, press the EDIT (CANCEL) key.
2
Use the MODULE
TOTAL module LED to light up.

The unit returns to the play mode, and reserving
a patch is now possible. When a new patch is
selected in this condition, the BANK/PATCH
indicator and the patch name on the display are
flashing, but the sound does not change yet.
This shows that the unit is waiting for
confirmation from the user.
