Roland GR-55 User Parameters not Saving within a Patch

Some of the factory Preset patches in the GR-55 have the CTL pedal and/or EXP SW assigned to control various functions, for example, the PCM Tone On/Off switch.

An assignment of this nature can make it appear that User parameters are not being stored in a patch. To turn off the pre-assigned CTL and/or EXP SW functions, follow these steps.

1. Select the desired User patch.

2. Press the EDIT button.

3. Press PAGE left or right to select the MASTER tab, and then press ENTER.

4. Cursor left to “PEDAL/GK CTL,” and then press ENTER.

5. Cursor down to “CTL FUNCTION,” and then turn the dial counterclockwise to select “OFF.”

6. Press PAGE right to select the EXP SW tab.

7. Cursor down to “EXP SW FUNCTION,” and then turn the dial counterclockwise to select “OFF.”

8. Save this new setting into the patch by pressing WRITE twice.

Note: Some patches may also contain assignments in the ASSIGN section that can effect custom stored parameters. If the above steps don’t help with your patch, go to the ASSIGN men, turn off each assignment in the patch, and then save the settings.
