Added Patch/System Parameters
In conjunction with the functions added in Version 2, we added the
following patch parameters that can be specified for each patch, and
additional system setting parameters.
Patch Parameters

Parameter
Value/Explanation
Output
Mixer Mode
The gain settings for mixers 1 and 2 settings are automatically
set to -6 dB for “parallel connection,” and to 0 dB for “Carry Over.”
By using this parameter and Mixer Gain1 and 2, you can specify
the gain manually.
Mixers 1 and 2 are used in that order starting from the effect
loop at the right of the Loop Structure screen.
AUTO
The gain of mixers 1 and 2 is set automatically by the
system.
MANUAL The gain of mixers 1 and 2 is set manually.
Mixers 1 and 2 are shown as follows in the Loop Structure screen.

Patch MIDI 1–8
Transmit
In Version 2, the contents specified in Patch MIDI can be
transmitted using Assign; however, you can specify that the
Patch MIDI settings are not automatically transmitted when you
switch patches.
For details, refer to “ ’Patch MIDI’ Added as an Assign Target” (p. 1).
AUTO
Patch MIDI settings are transmitted when you switch
patches.
MANUAL Patch MIDI settings are not transmitted when you
switch patches.
MIDI Clock Out
For each patch, specifies whether MIDI Clock messages are
transmitted.
This is convenient if you don’t want to use MIDI synchronization
for certain patches.
SYSTEM
The settings in MIDI Setting determine whether MIDI
Clock messages are transmitted.
OFF
MIDI Clock messages are not transmitted regardless
of the settings in MIDI Setting.
System Parameters
Parameter
Value/Explanation
Category: Play Option
Number 1–8 (MAN)
This lets you change the correspondence between the
number switches and the effect loops in manual mode.
AUTO
Pressing a number switch [1]–[8] turns on/off the
effect loop of the same number.
1–8, V
Pressing a number switch turns on/off the effect
loop of the specified number or a volume loop.
Tempo Hold
Specifies how Master BPM is switched when you switch
patches.
OFF
When you switch patches, the Master BPM becomes
the value specified by each patch.
ON
When you switch patches, the Master BPM maintains
the value of the patch prior to switching patches.
Link
This setting specifies how the Link function operates.
For details, refer to “Link Function Added” (p. 1)
OFF
The Link function is not used.
MASTER The Link function operates as the master unit. The
Master BPM is also used by the master unit.
SLAVE
The Link function operates as the slave unit. The
Master BPM reflects the setting of the master unit.
If this is set to SLAVE, the patch name screen of play mode
shows a display like the following.

H
] switches, number switches [1]–[8], and a footswitch
connected to the CTL IN jack.
PAT
Each switch operates according to the settings of
each patch.
SYS
Each switch operates according to the system
settings.
If this is set to SYS, the settings for each switch that you make
in the CTL/EXP screen are common to the entire unit. In this
case, the indication (SYS) is shown below the name of the
switch.
