If required, use the three selectors to choose the DRIVE, MOD, and REV/DLY module effect type. [DRIVE] selector Basic editing The most common steps for editing a patch are shown below. For a detailed description of effect types and parameters in each module, see the section "Effect Types and Parameters" on pages 17 - 22. [CLASSIC] key [STANDARD] key The distortion type of the DRIVE module is set with the [DRIVE] selector and the two module keys ([CLASSIC]/[STANDARD]). 12 ZOOM GFX-3 En-GFX3. book 13 ページ ２００４年１１月８日　月曜日　午後４時３０分 Changing the Sound of a Patch DRIVE module REV/DLY(Reverb/Delay) module MOD(Modulation) module EQ(Equalizer) module COMP/ISO (Compressor/Isolator) module ZNR/[TOTAL] module The effect type of the MOD and REV/DLY modules is set with the [MOD] selector and [REV/DLY] selector respectively. [MOD] Selector [REV/DLY] Selector The parameters that are assigned to the parameter keys for each module are printed on the panel. When the EQ module is selected, the parameter keys correspond to the following parameters. Parameters PRESENCE TREBLE 4. Use the module keys to select the module to edit. EQ modul MIDDLE BASS The module keys serve for selecting an effect module to work with. The assignment of keys to effect modules is shown above. The keys for modules that are ON in a given patch are lit. When you press a key to select the module, the light flashes. (If you select a module that is currently off, the key flashes more slowly. ) NOTE When you use the selector to switch the effect type, the parameter type also changes. Select the effect type first, and then select the parameter. 7. Use the [VALUE] dial to change the setting. 5. To switch the module between ON and OFF, press the module key once more. Select the parameter to edit with the parameter keys. The [VALUE] dial controls the setting value of the currently selected parameter. The current setting value is shown on the display. 6. 8. Repeat steps 3 - 7 to edit other modules and parameters. The parameter keys serve for choosing a parameter within the currently selected module. Each push of the key brings up the next parameter, and the setting value of that parameter is shown on the display. NOTE To keep the patch, be sure to perform the steps for storing it (→ p. Otherwise all changes will be lost when you switch to another patch. ZOOM GFX-3 13 En-GFX3. book 14 ページ ２００４年１１月８日　月曜日　午後４時３０分 Storing a Patch This section shows how to store an edited patch in memory. 1. Press the [STORE] key. 3. Press the [STORE] key once more. The GFX-3 goes into store standby condition. The display shows the current group name and bank number, and the LED of the respective foot switch lights up. The patch is stored, and the display shows the group and bank of the store target. Since the edited contents are now stored, the "EDITED" dot on the display disappears. If you press the [GROUP/EXIT] key instead of the [STORE] key, storing is canceled. HINT A patch can be stored either while playing it or while it is being edited. Resetting the GFX-3 to the factory default condition The patches in the user groups can be returned to their original condition at any time, even if you have changed them. 2. Use the BANK [Q]/[W] keys and the foot switches [1] - [3] to select the bank and patch number in which to store the patch. 1. Turn power to the GFX-3 on while keeping the [STORE] key depressed. The indication “AL” is shown on the display. NOTE Patches cannot be stored in a preset group. If a patch from a preset group was selected when you press the [STORE] key, the patch number 1 of user group bank "U0" will automatically be preselected as store target. 2. Press the [STORE] key once more. All patches are reset to the factory default condition, and the unit automatically switches to play mode. By pressing the [GROUP/EXIT] key before carrying out step 2, you can cancel the operation and go directly to the normal condition. 14 ZOOM GFX-3 En-GFX3. book 15 ページ ２００４年１１月８日　月曜日　午後４時３０分 Other Functions This section explains how to vary an effect parameter with the expression pedal, and how to perform special functions such as adjusting the expression pedal. • MOD Using the expression pedal to vary an effect 1. Use the BANK [Q]/[W] keys and foot switches [1] - [3] to select the patch to be controlled by the expression pedal. Expression pedal adjusts effect type currently selected in MOD module. The parameter depends on the effect type. • REV/DLY Expression pedal adjusts effect type currently selected in REV/DLY module. The parameter depends on the effect type. • VOLUME Expression pedal adjusts the volume before input to the MOD module. HINT 2. Repeatedly press the [PEDAL] key to select the module to control. • For information on controlled parameters when "MOD" or REV/DLY" is selected, see pages 17 - 22. • If the module that was selected as control target is currently OFF, the pedal will have no effect until it is fully pushed down to switch the module ON. 3. The [PEDAL] key selects the module that will be controlled by the expression pedal. The currently selected module is indicated by the row of LEDs just below the key. Each push of the key cycles through the DRIVE → MOD → REV/DLY → VOLUME settings. [. . . ] * Parameters for TYPE 4 - 7 are the same. Parameter 1 TIME Parameter 2 FB 1 – 99, 1. 0 – 1. 5, t1 – t9 Adjusts the delay time in 10-ms steps in the range of 10 - 990 ms (1 99), and in 100-ms steps above 1 s (1. 0 - 1. 5). By selecting t1 - t9, you can specify a note referenced to BPM as set with parameter 4. (See Table 3) 0 – 10 Adjusts number of repeat cycles (feedback) for delay sound. Parameter 3 MIX Parameter 4 DLYBPM 0 – 30 Adjusts delay sound level. 40 – 199 Adjusts the delay time in BPM (beats per minute). This setting is valid only when parameter 1 is t1 - t9. [. . . ]
