• Select the bank with the BANK
pedals.
A bank is a group of four patches. There are ten banks each
(numbered 0 through 9) for the USER group and the
PRESET group. The BANK
▲
pedal selects the next higher
bank, and the BANK
▼
pedal the next lower bank. (The
bank number display flashes.)
Merely pressing one of the BANK pedals does not
yet change the patch. To activate the patch and
change the sound, press one of the pedal switches 1 -
4, as described below.
• Select the patch by pressing one of the pedal switches
1 – 4.
The LED of that pedal lights up, showing that the patch has
been selected. (The BANK number is now constantly lit.)
Now would be a good time to try out some of the various
patches offered by the 4040 while playing your instrument.
Useful functions in the Play mode
Some other useful functions available in Play mode are
described below.
■
Adjusting the patch level
The final output level of the patch — called the patch level
— is also stored as a parameter along with the other
parameters of the patch. In the Play mode, the patch level
can be adjusted.
• Press the VALUE + / - keys in the Play mode.
When one of the VALUE + / - keys is pressed, the current
patch level setting is shown on the display as a numeric
value (0 – 50). Pressing VALUE + increases the value and
pressing VALUE - decreases it. To change values
continuously, hold down the key. To change values more
rapidly, press the other key as well.
The patch level setting change made in this way is
only temporary. If you select a different patch
without storing the new level setting first, the setting
will be lost. (For details on how to store settings,
please refer to page 12.)
In the Play mode, the patch level can be adjusted
also for patches from the PRESET group, but the
new level setting cannot be stored. When wishing to
store the level, select a patch from the USER group.
■
Bypassing the effects
You can temporarily turn off all effects in a patch. This is
useful for example to check the sonic character of a patch.
The bypass mode is also used for the chromatic tuning
function.
• In the Play mode, press the pedal switch 1 - 4 whose
LED is lit (i.e. the pedal switch that was used to choose
the current patch).
All effects in the patch are now bypassed and the original
instrument sound is heard. In the bypass condition, the LED
of the selected patch flashes and the tuner LED lights up.
• Press the pedal switch once more to turn the patch on
again. Normal Play mode can also be restored by
selecting a different patch.
■
Tuning a guitar
The 4040 incorporates an automatic guitar tuning function.
When the 4040 is set to the bypass mode, the tuning
function is automatically enabled.
• In the Play mode, press the pedal switch 1 – 4 whose
LED is lit. This activates the bypass mode and the
tuner LED lights up.
