Selecting a patch
Altering an effect
with the pedal
To select a patch, press one of the foot switches
[1] - [3] whose LED is not lit.
The single effects (effect modules) in the GFX-5 can
be combined, and parameter settings for each effect
can be changed to achieve a desired sound. Such a
combination of effects with certain parameter
settings is called a patch. Patches are always called
onto the panel in banks of three, and the foot
switches [1] - [3] are used to select the patch.
Move the expression pedal up or down
while playing your instrument.
The effect depth or volume or another
parameter of the effect will change in real
time as you move the expression pedal.
(Which parameter changes depends on the
patch.)
* For some patches, the pedal has no effect.
◆
For an explanation of effect control with
the pedal, see page 20.
To switch to a patch in another group or bank,
use the BANK [
Q
]/[
W
] foot switches and then
the foot switches [1] - [3].
Patches are organized in user groups (U, u) which
can be modified and preset groups (A, b) which are
read-only. Each group comprises ten banks
numbered from 0 to 9, and each bank has three
patches.
The BANK [
Q
]/[
W
] foot switches select groups
and banks in the order A0 – A9, b0 – b9, U0 – U9,
u0 – u9.
* You can also use the PARAMETER [
Q
]/[
W
] keys to
directly switch groups.
◆
For a detailed explanation of patch switching, see
page 10.
