Selecting Preset Banks

In Bank Mode, the Right Footswitch is used to select the current Bank. Tap the Right

Footswitch to increment through the active Banks. Immediately after pressing the Right

Footswitch, the Encoder can be used to select Banks. The Encoder provides a convenient

method to move up or down through the active Banks.

The Encoder can be used to set or tweak the Tempo value in BPM. With Tempo ON, first press

the Tap Footswitch once (you must be in Play Mode) so that the Billboard displays the Temp

Note: If the previous loaded Preset is in Bypass when the footswitch is pressed, the newly

loaded Preset will be Active.

Note: Edited Presets will be lost if they are not saved before loading another Preset.

Active Banks

If 100 Presets are more than you need, and you’d like to make it quicker and easier to find

and load your Presets, the number of active Banks can be reduced. Only the Banks that are

active will show up when loading. While only active Banks can be loaded, Presets can always

be saved to all Banks. Inactive Banks are not erased and can be made active at any time.

Active Banks can be limited to a range. The default is for all 100 Presets active, this

corresponds to having the full range of Banks active - from 1 to 50. You can limit the number

of active Banks, by setting the active range in System Mode. For example, if you set the lower

Bank limit to 5 and the upper Bank limit to 10, Banks 5-10 will be active. By logically

grouping your Presets, you can get through a song or set without having to click through all

100 Presets. Remember, when saving Presets, group them to best suit your needs.

The factory default sets the number of active Banks to 50. To limit the number of active

Banks:

1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.

2) Turn the Encoder until [UTILITY] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the Encoder.

4) Turn the Encoder until [BANKS] is displayed.

5) Momentarily press the Encoder.

6) Press the Left Footswitch and turn the Encoder to set the lower Bank limit.

7) Press the Right Footswitch and turn the Encoder to set the upper Bank limit.

8) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to exit System Mode.
