CAUTION
AVOID LOSING IMPORTANT DATA—After you’ve
made some edits using the steps above, be
careful NOT to press [MANUAL] or [MEMORY]
unless you are absolutely sure that you want to
either recall the original program or save the new
one. Be careful also to check which condition is
active — Edit (with the continuously lit LED) or
Compare (with the flashing LED). If you
mistakenly press [MANUAL] or [MEMORY] in ei-
ther condition, you may irretrievably lose impor-
tant data!
Note: Regarding the above caution, there are certain
precautions you can take to avoid losing impor-
tant programs, such as backing up your original
ones with the MIDI Bulk Transmission function
(see page 102), and restoring factory preset
programs (see page 57) if you’ve erased them.

TROUBLESHOOTING SOUND PROBLEMS—
Keep in mind that the sound of one effect
depends on the effects that are placed be-
fore it in the chain. If while creating an ef-
fect program, you don’t get any sound or
the sound is not what you expected it to
be, try listening to each effect block alone
in order to isolate the “problem” effect.
Usually the trouble is in the input or output
settings of an effect (see notes on pages
58, 59, 63 and 66 for more information). If
the input or output is too low, you may get
too soft a sound or no sound at all; if the
input or output is too high, you may get a
signal that is overloading subsequent
effects.
Switch between the original program and
your newly edited as often as you like by
pressing [EDIT/COMPARE].
5. You have two choices here:
1) you can recall the original program (and
erase your changes), or
2) you can store your changes to the current
program number (and erase the original
one).
1) If you happen to like the sound of the
original effect program better than your
changes, press [MANUAL] or
[MEMORY] while the EDIT/COMPARE
LED is flashing (Compare condition).
This recalls the original program.
2) If you want to save your newly edited
program (and don’t mind erasing the
original one), press [MANUAL] or
[MEMORY] while the EDIT/COMPARE
LED is lit continuously (Edit condition).
