If you call up another patch in program mode without storing the current patch, any editing changes will be lost. Editing Operations Setting the ZNR Threshold The GFX-5 incorporates the ZNR (ZOOM Noise Reduction) circuit which is highly effective in minimizing noise in playing pauses. You can set the ZNR threshold individually for each patch. 1. In manual mode or program mode, press the ZNR key. The indication "ZNR" appears on the display, and the current setting (oF, 1 - 10) is shown on the GROUP/BANK indicator. 3. When the threshold has been set, press the ZNR key once more. The GFX-5 returns to the previous mode. If required, store the patch. If you call up another patch in program mode without storing the current patch, any setting changes will be lost. 2. When a setting other than "oF" is selected, operation is as follows. ZOOM GFX-5 19 Parameter value Maximum 7. If required, store the patch, and return to program mode. Hi UP dn Lo Minimum Value programmed in patch When you now operate the expression pedal, the respective parameter in the modules selected for RTM will change. When the effect type of the MODULATION module is PDLPIT (pedal pitch) or PDLWAH (pedal wah), the "Hi" setting has the same effect as "UP" and "Lo" has the same effect as "dn". Move pedal · Parameter Knob 3· · · · EP-D/R Determines whether to control the DELAY/REVERB module with the expression pedal in real time. You can select "oF" (off), "UP", "dn" (down), "Hi" (high), or "Lo" (low). When a setting other than "oF" is selected, operation is the same as for EP-MOD. When you push the expression pedal fully down, the assignable switch performs the selected function (switching between program mode and manual mode or toggling the module on/off status). Press down 6. Make sure that modules selected in step 5 are set to on. If required, switch the effect type used in the module. The parameter controlled by RTM depends on which effect type is currently selected for the module. For details, see the section "Effect Types and Parameters". For example, you may select the DRIVE and MODULATION modules for RTM control and store the patch with one module set to on and the other set to off. If you then select the module on/off function for the assignable switch, the module controlled by RTM is switched every time you push the expression pedal fully down. Editing Operations PEDAL WAH/PEDAL PITCH Key Among the effect types that can be controlled by RTM, the two effect types PDLWAH (pedal wah) and PDLPIT (pedal pitch) in the MODULATION module have a special key. 1. In manual mode or program mode, press the PEDAL WAH/PEDAL PITCH keys. The PEDALWAH/PEDAL PITCH key are shortcut keys for quickly adjusting pedal wah or pedal pitch. With each push of the key, the edit display for "PDLWAH" and "PDLPIT" is displayed alternately. · MODULATION module = ON · MODULATION module effect type = PDLWAH or PDLPIT · UP if RTMSET display EP-MOD parameter = oF 3.
