the store operation (→ p. 19) . Otherwise all

Storing and Swapping Patches
This section describes how to store an edited patch in memory, and how to swap patches in a user group.
1. In play mode, manual mode, or edit mode,
press the [STORE] key.
The GFX-5 enters the store standby condition. The
patch name and the indications “STORE” or
“SWAP” are shown alternately on the display.
The [GROUP/BANK] indicator shows the current
group and bank number, and the LED of the
respective foot switch lights up.
HINT
To change the name of a patch before storing,
see page 18.
2. Turn the [VALUE] dial to select either
“STORE” or “SWAP”.
When “STORE” is selected, you can save the
current patch in any user group patch slot.
When “SWAP” is selected, you can exchange the
current user group patch with any other user group
patch. This is convenient for example if you want to
change the order of patches for use during a
performance.
NOTE
If the original patch is from a preset group, the
“SWAP” option is not displayed.
3. Use the PARAMETER [ Q ]/[ W ] keys and
the BANK [
Q ]/[ W ] foot switches to select
the group and bank for the store/swap
target.
4. Use the foot switches [1] - [3] to select the
patch number of the store/swap target.
The LED of the respective foot switch lights up.
NOTE
A preset group cannot be selected as store
target. If you press the [STORE] key while a patch
from a preset group is selected, the patch
number 1 of "U0" (user group) will be
automatically selected as the default store
target.
5. Press the [STORE] key once more.
The store or swap operation is performed and the
unit returns to the original mode. If the patch in step
1 was being edited, the editing changes are stored
and the “EDITED” dot disappears.
If you press the [EDIT/EXIT] key instead of the
[STORE] key, the store/swap operation is canceled
and the unit returns to the original mode.
