What is a Patch?
The GT-6 can store 340 combinations (or “sets”) of effects and
parameter settings. Each of these sets is called a “patch,”
with patches organized by bank and number as shown
below.
fig.01-11
User Banks (1–35)
Newly created effects settings are saved in the User banks.
Patches in these banks are called “User patches.”
*A “U” appears in the right display when a User patch is being
used.
fig.01-12
Preset Banks (36–85)
The Preset banks contain effect settings that really help bring
out the special characteristics of the GT-6. The patches in
these banks are called “Preset patches.” Although you cannot
overwrite the Preset patches with your own settings, you can
change (edit) a Preset patch’s settings, then save the result as
a User patch.
*A “P” appears in the right display when a Preset patch is
being used.

How to Switch Patches
(Patch Change)
Using the GT-6 to Select Patches
Patches are switched by selecting a “bank” (1-85) and
“number” (1-4).
The bank and number appear in the GT-6’s display as shown
in the following figure.
fig.01-14a
fig.01-14b
* When selecting a patch, even if a new bank is selected, the
patch is not switched until you also choose the number. If you
want to be able to switch patches merely by selecting a
different bank, carry out the Patch Change mode (p. 61)
setting.
You can also switch patches with the PATCH/VALUE dial.
* Delay and reverb sounds are cut off when patches are
switched.
Switching Only the Number
