8. The Utility Mode
The UTILITY mode allows access to a number of utility
functions such as user's area program title editing, memory
location number and MIDI program change number
assignment, and footswitch memory recall range
programming. The UTILITY mode is activated by pressing
the UTILITY key. Each press on the UTILITY key calls a
different UTILITY function, as shown below:
MEMORY or PARAMETER mode

Program Title Edit

PROGRAM CHANGE Table Edit
CONTROL CHANGE 1 Table Edit

CONTROL CHANGE 2 Table Edit

Footswitch Function Select
Footswitch Memory Recall Range Edit
The mode that was active before the UTILITY key was
pressed (MEMORY or PARAM) is selected following the
last function on the utility list. The UTILITY mode can also
be exited by pressing and holding the UTILITY key until the
UTILITY key indicator goes out (approximately 1 second).
Program Title Edit
The Program Title Edit function allows you to create
original titles for your effect programs, for easy
identification. When Program Title Edit is called the LCD
will appear something like the example below — the
memory title will appear on the upper line. Use the
MEMORY (•^ and PARAM (►) keys to move the cursor to
the desired character location, then use the Aand Tkeys
to change the character at the cursor location. The STORE
key can be used to place a space at the cursor position.
Continue until the new title Is complete.

A newly created program title is automatically stored with
the appropriate program data when the Program Title Edit
mode is exited.
NOTE: The TITLE EDIT function can only be used when
one of the FX500B RAM memory locations (31
through 60) are selected. If you call the TITLE
EDIT function while a ROM memory location (1
through 30) is selected, the following display will
appear and editing will not be possible.

MIDI Program Selection: MIDI
Setup and Program Change Table
Edit
The FX500B makes it possible to select specific programs
via external MIDI control. You can set up the FX500B, for
example, so that when you select a voice on a synthesizer
the most appropriate effect for that voice is automatically
selected. This is accomplished because each time you
select a voice on your MIDI synthesizer it transmits the
corresponding MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER. The
FX500B receives this PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER and
selects the effect program that you have assigned to it
using the Program Change Table Edit function which will
be described below. A more convenient idea for bassists
would be to use a MIDI foot controller such as the Yamaha
MFC05 to transmit the required MIDI PROGRAM
CHANGE NUMBERS. The FX500B actually can be
programmed with four completely independent sets of
MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER/MEMORY NUMBER
assignments. Each of these is contained in a different
"bank": A, B, C or D. Each BANK may also be
programmed to receive on a different MIDI channel. The
four banks may be programmed with different receive
channels using the MIDI Setup function described below.
