VALUE dial function.
PATCH No.& VALUE:

the value of settings. In addition to switching patches
with the pedals, you can also switch them by rotating the
PATCH/VALUE dial.

Setting the Timing Used for Switching

[ ] so that “Patch Change” is displayed.
fig.08-03
2. Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to set the timing for
switching patches.
Immediate:
The patch switches the instant a BANK pedal or any of
the number pedals is pressed.
Wait for a NUM. :
Although the indication in the display is updated to
reflect the change in the bank when a BANK pedal is
pressed, the patch doesn’t get changed at that point. The
actual change to the newly selected patch takes place
only after a number pedal has been pressed, and a
complete bank and number combination has thus been
entered.
3. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
Limiting the Banks That Can
Be Switched (Bank Extent)
By setting an upper limit to the banks, thus limiting the range
of banks that can be switched, you can set the GT-6 so that
only the patches you need can be selected.
1. Press [UTILITY], then press PARAMETER [ ]
[ ] so that “Bank Extent” is displayed.
