Definitions
Module
Ampero supports the simultaneous use of up to 9 effects. Each is
called an “effects module”, or simply “module”. There are several
effects available in each module.
Parameter
Variables that determine the application of an effect are called
“parameters”. If we imagine each module as a separate effect pedal,
then each parameter would be a knob on that pedal.

Patch
The ON/OFF status of each module and the parameter settings are
stored in units called “patches”. These are your “tones”. Use patches
to recall, edit, and save your favorite tones.
Bank
A set of 3 patches is called a “bank”. Ampero has a total of 66 banks,
including 33 editable player (user) banks and 33 factory banks (F01-
