M500 OPERATORS MANUAL Ch 3 - 13
DOWN Makes a change only in signal monitoring
The lefthand word
Filtr
Filtr in lower case. Functions in exactly the same way
Filtr
as above but the monitor signal is now the output of the GATE or
DE-ESSER to which the filter has been assigned, and not the actual signal
passing through the filter.
Assigning the filter to the DE-ESSER takes priority over the GATE as the
DE-ESSER is not able to function in any mode without use of the filter,
where as the GATE can.
PATCH
Primary function: Store and retrieve, preset and user patches. This function button accesses
three screens, the top of which is used to select the patch number you wish to load a program
from, or the patch number in which you want to save the program on which you have been
working. Keep in mind that unless stereo linked Effects are in use, loading and saving applies only
to the audio channel currently selected. Remember that patches 51 to 128 are presets and cannot
be changed, erased or overwritten. Patch titles are also shown on this screen.
THE PATCH DISPLAY FOR LOAD
LOAD PATCH Patches can be loaded by rotating the encoder knob until the desired
patch number is reached and then hit YES . The patch will be loaded

The LEFT and RIGHT buttons are used to move through the ten possible
characters of the title and the rotary controller used to scroll through the alphabet. Upper and
lower case letters, numbers and some symbols may also be used. The user is not prevented from
giving two different patches the same name but this may give rise to confusion!
