Normally, for editing a patch of the BFX-708, you set the unit to edit mode, call up the target
parameter, and change the setting. However, it is possible to use the parameter knobs 1 - 3 in
play mode to change certain effect parameters. This is called "Easy Edit".
1
To change the sound of a patch in play
mode, turn parameter knobs 1 - 3. The
parameters controlled by the knobs are as
follows.
The actual parameter controlled by the parameter
knob 1 - 3 depends on the patch.
When a knob is turned, the current setting of the
affected parameter is shown on the BANK/PATCH
indicator, and a dot (.) appears at the "EDITED"
position. This indicates that the parameter has
been changed. If the parameter is returned to the
original setting, the dot disappears.
Besides the above parameters, the MODULE
/
keys can be used to change the PATCH
LEVEL parameter.

To store an edited patch, carry out the
steps for storing
(

.
If another patch is called up without storing the
edited patch, the edited contents will be lost.
The Easy Edit function is not available while
using the rhythm pattern.

Use the

keys to control playback/stop/rewind/fast-

The controls operate as shown at left. When
using the controls, you can think of the sampler
function as a kind of tape recorder.

To turn off the sampler and return to the
play mode, press the SAMPLER key again.
• The sampler function cannot be used at the
same time as the rhythm function or the Jam
Play function.
• While using the sampler function, the MOD
module and REV module included in a patch
cannot be used. (These modules are set to
off, regardless of what the original setting of
the patch is.)
• The recorded contents of the sampler are
automatically erased when the sampler
function is terminated.
