In the initial setting, the patch
pedal switches all patches in
order, regardless of the bank
divisions.
The bank hold function limits
switching to the four patches
within a bank. When this
function is activated, the patch
pedals switch in order between
the patches in the current bank
only.
To activate this function, hold
the EDIT key down for at least
1 second in Play mode. The
BANK HOLD indicator will
light. To turn the function off,
again hold the EDIT key down
for at least 1 second. The
BANK HOLD indicator will go
off.
Banks can be switched using
the VALUE +/- keys.
In the default condition, the 503 is
set up in such a way that pressing a
patch pedal immediately switches
the patch and alters the output
sound. This is called Direct Load
ON. This switching principle is
most convenient when the desired
patches are adjacent or close to
each other. However, when
wanting to switch to a patch that is
further away, it may be desirable
not to activate the sound of the
other patches in between.
When this is desired, turn the
Direct Load function off as
follows. When Direct Load has
been turned off, switching banks
and patches has no effect until the
user confirms the selection.
For example, when going from
patch 1 to patch 4 with Direct Load active, patches 2
and 3 will briefly be heard when the patch UP pedal
is pressed three times. When Direct Load is off,
pressing the patch UP pedal will change the number
on the display (the number flashes), but until the
user confirms the choice, the sound remains that of
patch 1.
To turn Direct Load on or off, keep the STORE key
depressed for at least 1 second.
To confirm a choice after selecting a patch with
Direct Load off, press both patch pedals
simultaneously.
