1. Set up a foot pedal or two for the selection of favorites following the steps in ÒTo Set Up and Use Foot

Switches for the Selection of FavoritesÓ earlier in this section.

2. Select a sound in SoundFinder using either technique described in ÒHow to Find SoundsÓ below.

3. Press and hold down the Select Sound button.

4. Tap the foot pedal that selects the last or next Favorites position from the one currently selected.

If you want to mentally keep track of which favorites position is currently selected

without having to press a Favorites button, you might find it handy to assign the sound

ÒSilenceÓ to the 18th favorites position. This would provide a recognizable landmark as you

step through your favorites.

If one pedal is set to PrevFavorite and another to NextFavorite, pressing both together

will cause the ZR to jump to the first favorites position.

Favorites assignments are backed up in FLASH memory. When you power up the ZR, theyÕre copied into

RAM, from which theyÕre selected when you press the Favorites buttons or select favorites using foot

switches. (ZR memory is described in Chapter 9). This scheme allows you to set up favorites for a particular

situation, and to quickly restore your permanent favorites by simply turning the ZR off and back on.

To make your favorites assignments permanent, you must save them to FLASH memory (you can also save

favorites to floppy diskÑsee Chapter 9 to learn how).

1. Press the button.

If the System Write Protect parameter is set to Prompt, the display will show:

INT memory is write

protected! Override?

This display is offered as a double-check for you, to make sure you really want to save your sound. If

youÕd like to avoid this prompt in the future, see ÒProtecting the ZRÕs MemoryÓ in Chapter 3.

2. If youÕd like to cancel the operation, press the No button. If youÕd like to proceed, press the Yes button.

3. Turn the Value knob until the display shows:

Save SoundFinder?

Type= Favorites

4. Press the Yes button.

The ZR-76 offers two methods of locating sounds:

¥ You can locate sounds by sound type

¥ You can immediately access any sound if you know its name

1. Locate the SoundFinder section on the ZRÕs front panel.

2. Press the Select Sound button.
