Patch Management
The process of saving a patch and finding it later are closely related, so both are covered in this
chapter. The concepts and operations are almost identical for Single mode and Multi mode
except as noted.
Using the Browser
Whether you’re hunting for a specific patch or looking for something in a particular category,
the Browser has several features that will help you quickly locate what you need.
The Browse page
Press the [BROWSE] button to reveal these features:

[4] Patches are assigned to the Favorites banks on this page. Use [SHIFT] + [BROWSE] to access
current Favorites.
Browsing is fairly simple. This page presents all of the main functions:
• Turn Control knob 1 to select a patch (or
use the big knob).
• Basic information about each patch is
shown in fields 2 and 3.
• The patches will appear in a different order
depending on the “Find By” selection.
• Use [SHIFT] + the Left/Right arrows to skip
through the list 10 patches at a time.
The Compare and Favorite Assign features are described later in this chapter.
Sort Methods
There are three ways to sort the patches. What this does is reorganize the patch list based on
the selected sort method. The patches stay where they are, they’re just displayed in a different
order.
