Chapter 2 Creating Your Own Favorite Tones (Patches)
What is a Patch?
The GT-8 can store 340 combinations (or “sets”) of effects and
parameter settings. Each of these sets is called a “patch,”
with patches organized by bank and number as shown
below.
fig.02-010
User Banks (1–35)
Newly created effects settings are saved in the User banks.
Patches in these banks are called “User patches.”
A “U” appears in the right display when a User patch is
being used.

Preset Banks (36–85)
The Preset banks contain effect settings that really help bring
out the special characteristics of the GT-8. The patches in
these banks are called “Preset patches.” Although you cannot
overwrite the Preset patches with your own settings, you can
change (edit) a Preset patch’s settings, then save the result as
a User patch.
A “P” appears in the right display when a Preset patch is
being used.

How to Switch Patches
(Patch Change)
Patches are switched by selecting a “bank” (1–85) and
“number” (1-4). The bank and number appear in the GT-8’s
display as shown in the following figure.

* When selecting a patch, even if a new bank is selected, the
patch is not switched until you also choose the number. If you
want to be able to switch patches merely by selecting a
different bank, carry out the Bank Change mode (p. 72)
setting.
You can also switch patches with the PATCH/VALUE dial.
You can also set the unit so certain effects continue to be
used with a following patch after you switch patches. For
details, refer to “Keeping Effect Sounds Playing After
Patches Are Switched (Patch Change Mode)” (p. 71).
Switching Only the Number

Select the number of the patch you want to switch to by
pressing the corresponding number pedal.
The indicator for the pressed number pedal lights up,
