In the factory default condition,
the patch pedal switches all
patches, regardless of the bank
divisions. This kind of patch
switching is called the Bank Hold
off condition.

The Bank Hold function limits
switching to the four patches
within a bank. When the function
is activated, the patch pedals
switch only between the patches
in the current bank. To activate the
function, keep the EDIT key
depressed for at least 1 second in
the Play mode. The BANK HOLD
indicator on the display lights up.
To turn the function off again,
perform the same step (press the
EDIT key for at least 1 second).
The BANK HOLD indicator on
the display goes out. 

Bank switching can be performed
using the VALUE + / - keys or the
optional foot switch FS01
connected to the CONTROL IN jack on the rear panel. 

In the default condition, the 505 is
set up in such a way that pressing a
patch pedal immediately switches
the patch and alters the output
sound. This is called Direct Load
ON. This switching principle is
most convenient when the desired
patches are adjacent or close to
each other. However, when
wanting to switch to a patch that is
further away, it may be desirable
not to activate the sound of the
other patches in between. 

When this is desired, turn the
Direct Load function off as
follows. When Direct Load has
been turned off, switching banks
and patches has no effect until the
user confirms the selection. 

For example, when going from
patch 1 to patch 4 with Direct Load active, patches 2
and 3 will briefly be heard when the patch UP pedal
is pressed three times. When Direct Load is off,
pressing the patch UP pedal will change the number
on the display (the number flashes), but until the
user confirms the choice, the sound remains that of
patch 1. 

To turn Direct Load on or off, keep the STORE key
depressed for at least 1 second. 
To confirm a choice after selecting a patch with
Direct Load off, press both patch pedals
simultaneously.
