General Presets
59
Ê Make all the necessary panel settings (Tone assignments, effects settings and function settings) until
everything sounds just right.
Ë Be sure the [MEMORY] button is on or off, depending on which bank of registrations you wish to
work with. (When lit, the second memory bank is active.)
Ì Hold the [SET] button and then press the General Preset button ([1]-[8]) you want to use.
Note: If the 'Memory Lock' parameter is 'On', the Preset memories are protected and saving a registration
will not be possible. See [PRESETS] 'Memory Lock' (page 128) for more information.
Instantly your registration is stored under the General Preset button you pressed and can be recalled at any
time. These registrations will remain in memory (even after you power down) until you change them. By
creating and storing a series of registrations for different performance needs, you can easily set up the
instrument for your next song or set; live performances become much simpler!
(You can also assign a registration to the [CANCEL] button if you like. Simply hold the [SET] button and
press [CANCEL] and your registration will be stored as described above. Be aware, however, that there is
only one [CANCEL] registration, not one for each memory bank.)
Once you've set all your General Presets the way you want, you can switch among them quickly during
performance. You can, of course, still switch to different sounds using the various Tone buttons, but the
General Preset feature lets you make much more complex changes during a performance, all at the touch of
one button.
GLOBALS
As mentioned above, there are also a number of 'global' settings, some of which affect the sound, and some
of which affect the function of the instrument. These settings are not stored as part of the registration
associated with each General Preset button. Rather, these settings are stored separately because they do not
change as you select different registrations. They are, however, stored in non-volatile memory (just like
registrations) but there are separate operations (under the [PRESETS] menu) for loading and storing them.
