Use parameter knobs 1 - 3 to change the parameter setting.

When one of parameter knobs 1 - 3 is turned, the name of the corresponding parameter appears on the display and the current value on the BANK/PATCH indicator. For example, if the effect type ROOM of the REV module is selected, the parameter knobs 1 - 3 will adjust the following parameters.

Storing and Copying Patches
Unless you store an edited patch in the memory of the unit, the edited contents will be lost (the patch will revert to its original condition) when you select another patch. If you have created a patch you like, do not forget to store it. It is also possible to store an existing patch in another location, thereby creating a copy. By copying several patches you want to use in a song to adjacent numbers in the USER group, you can easily call them up during a performance.

In play mode or edit mode, press the STORE key.
The BFX-708 enters the store standby condition. If the STORE key is pressed while using the rhythm function, the rhythm output is stopped and the unit then enters the standby condition. When storing an edited patch, be sure to change the patch name. This is done with the TOTAL module ( p. 20).

Use the TYPE (BANK) w/v keys and w/v foot switches to select the store target (copy target).
If you do not specify the store target, the original bank/patch number becomes the store target. When you change the store target bank/patch number, the changed portion on the BANK/PATCH indicator flashes. The indication "STORE?" and the store target patch name are

� The PRESET group is read-only. If a patch from the PRESET group was selected and the STORE key is pressed, the store target automatically becomes "A1". Change the bank/patch number as required. � When store (copy) is carried out, the previous patch in the target is overwritten (erased). If that patch was edited, its contents cannot be restored. However, it is possible to restore a selected patch or all patches from the USER group ( p. 23) to the factory defaults.
