Zoom 1204 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Storing effect settings in memory
If you have followed the various steps described above, you have selected an effect and pattern and adjusted the
effect sound. When you have found a setting that you like, you can easily store this setting in the memory of the
1204, so that you do not have to make the same adjustments every time you want to use this setting. The memory
capacity of the 1204 is sufficient for up to 100 settings. Once a setting has been stored, it can be called up quickly,
using the memory mode of the unit.
The store procedure is described below. Note that any setting stored in a certain memory number will be lost
(overwritten) when another setting is stored in the same number.
1. Adjust the effect as desired.
2. Press the STORE key once. This activates the store function.
3. The memory number shown on the display starts to flash.
This indicates that the 1204 is in the store standby condition.
4. Use the and keys to select the memory number in which you want to store the effect setting.
Caution: If you want to cancel the process, you can press the CANCEL key at this point. If you go ahead with the
store function, any earlier setting stored in the selected memory number will be overwritten.
5. To carry out the store function, press the STORE key once more.
6. The memory number on the display flashes more rapidly.
7. When the store process is completed, the memory number stops flashing and stays constantly on.
The store function is now terminated.
Note: If the store function was initiated while the 1204 was in manual mode, the unit will automatically be
switched to memory mode after the store function is completed.
Store precautions
When wishing to store an effect setting that you have made in manual mode, be sure to initiate the store
process in manual mode. If you switch to memory mode first, the setting made in manual mode will be
lost.
When wishing to store an effect setting that you have made (edited) in memory mode, be sure to initiate
the store process in memory mode. If you switch to manual mode first, the setting edited in memory
mode will be lost.
In memory mode, when wishing to store an edited effect setting in a memory number other than the one
currently displayed, first press the STORE key once to activate the store standby condition and then use
the and keys to select the desired memory number. If you select another memory number before
pressing the STORE key, the setting stored in the new number will be called up and the setting you
edited earlier will be lost.
