Chapter 2 Creating Your Own Favorite Tones (Patches)

What is a Patch?

The GT-PRO can store 400 combinations (or “sets”) of effects

and parameter settings.

Each of these sets is called a “Patch,” with patches organized

by Bank (1–40) and Number (1–10) as shown below.

fig.02-0010

User Banks (1–20)

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.

fig.02-0020d

Preset Banks (21–40)

The Preset banks contain effect settings that really help bring

out the special characteristics of the GT-PRO. 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.

fig.02-0030d

* When the GT-PRO is set to FC-200 mode (p. 81), the banks

are indicated by numbers one less than the normal numbers

(User: 0–19; Preset: 20–39).

How to Switch Patches

(Patch Change)

Whenever you’re at the Play screen, you can turn the

PATCH/VALUE dial to change patches.

fig.02-0040d

To switch banks at a time, press [SHIFT] so its indicator is

lighted (Shift: ON), then rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial.

* Use the setting on p. 98 when you want to set the upper limit

for patches that can be selected with the PATCH/VALUE dial.

* Unconfirmed changes in settings are cleared when patches are

switched. If you want to save changed settings, carry out the

Write procedure (p. 24).

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. 97).

If the Patch Does Not Switch

On the GT-PRO, you cannot switch patches in any screen

other than the Play screen. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play

screen (p. 16).
