Play Mode
Play Mode is the default Mode active at start-up and after 60
seconds of inactivity in other modes. Press "EXIT" to return to
Play Mode from other modes.
Turn the Data Wheel to select Presets in Play Mode. There are
3 banks of Presets, P (permanent), U (user) and S (song)—each
bank is indicated by the first character (P, U or S ) in the upper
left corner of the display.
P and U bank Presets both include everything in your "band"
your amp and effects, drummer, guitarist, keyboardist, and
bass guide track.
S bank includes the complete MIDI song structure (for up to
62 songs) and stores the songs in the order of performance.
Press "START-STOP" for song playback. To change the order of
your songs, press "SONG" and turn the Data Wheel to reorder
(see page 11).
Each S bank Preset displays song number and name on
the top line. Next line shows current bass preset, which
always starts as QA1 in the box below. The QA box shows
three (quick access) bass presets. These QA presets are your
personal favorites that you want to use with that particular
song. Activate any QA preset by pressing the button below
the quick access labels (QA1, QA2, QA) or the corresponding
footswitch button (on the optional ULT-4 footswitch). Change
the QA order by pressing the button below SETQA, then turn
the Data Wheel to reorder.
You can play bass, select Presets and play the Drum loop or
the Phrase Sampler in Play Mode. To modify components
of a Preset (Amp Type, Effects, Bass Track, etc.) use the mode
menus (see next page, Menu Navigation).
