Chapter

Switching the Bank and Number
fig.02-070
1.
Press a BANK pedal.
The bank switches, then the indicator for the numbered
pedal that was active before the BANK pedal was
pressed starts flashing, indicating that the GT-8 is ready
for selection of the patch number (at this stage, however,
the patch is not switched yet).
2.
Select the number of the patch you want to switch to by
pressing the corresponding number pedal.
The indicator for the selected number pedal lights up,
and the GT-8 switches to that patch.
If the Patch Does Not Switch
On the GT-8, you cannot switch patches in any screen other
than the Play screen. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen
(p. 14).
Adjusting the Tones with the Knobs
The GT-8 panel features fifteen knob controls. These knobs
let you make adjustments or changes to the selected patch’s
tone quickly and easily.
fig.02-080
When you want to save a tone created with the knob
controls, proceed as described in “Storing Patches (Patch
Write)” (p. 22).
If the power is turned off, or if the tone is switched
(Patch Change; p. 16) before you’ve carried out the Write
procedure, the newly created tone will be discarded.
* If you want to name the patch or edit the name, proceed to
“Naming Patches (Patch Name)” (p. 21) before you save.
