Reserving the Next Patch (DIRECT LOAD)
In the factory default condition, patches are switched as soon as you make the selection, resulting
in an immediate change in the sound. This is called "Direct Load". If you want to change to a
distant patch (for example from patch A1 to patch E5), all the intermediate patches will briefly
change the sound, which may not be desirable. In such a case, you can reserve the patch and
cause the patch change to be delayed until confirmed by you. This function is activated as follows;
1In play mode, press the EDIT (CANCEL) key. The unit returns to the play mode, and reserving
a patch is now possible. When a new patch is
