7. Naming a Patch
In this section, we've explained how to make some simple Patches just by rotating some of the knobs on the panel. Before we can store a
new Patch in memory (which will be explained shortly), we first have to give the Patch a name—something that will make it easy for you to
remember what it is.
© Press the EDIT | PATCH jbutton.
You'll see the Patch Naming screen, shown below.
cu" DN AME
The * 9” will be flashing.
Qo At this point, press| ENTER/YES |.
The Patch Naming screen is the one we want, so select it to name the currently displayed Patch. (In
this example, it’s the one called "SYNCLEAD.")
Ra NIU:
cue YNCELEAQD
The first character will be flashing. You can change it with the [NC]
and DEC buttons (pressing [NC] will step you through T, U, V, ...}.
G Press the VALUE and buttons.
This will step the first character space ("S") through the alphabet.
@ when you've got this character set the way you want it, press the CURSOR [E] button to
move to the next character space ("Y").
Now the next character (^Y) will begin flashing.
& Set the other characters with the VALUE and buttons. If you want to return to a
character, press the CURSOR [a] button to back up.
© When you're finished entering the new name, press} EXIT/NO | two (2) times.
You are returned to the Play mode.
%* If you want to save this name after editing, follow the Patch Write procedure on next pags.
@ Characters You Can Use in a Patch Name
in addition to the alphabet (capital letters only} and numbers, there are 64 symbols you can also use
in naming Patches (they are arranged in order as shown in the following table).
A Patch name can contain up to eight characters. This means you could call all your brass Patches
*----BRAS" and your string Patches “----STRG,” and still have the first four characters left to drop
in some kind of shorthand description of the particular Pateh. You will find this system to be most :
helpful in quickly recognizing what kind of a Patch you have selected.
